Madhouse Mondays: Your Old Droog
Your Old Droog has that left-of-center, bad-boy flow. Think MF Doom meets Redman. Such a dope track too - dig this.
Throwback Thursdays: Redman
Reggie Noble is definitely a mainstream rapper, but one the mainstream tends to forget about between Blackout! albums (his collabs with Wu-Tang's Method Man). The truth is, Redman is a gem. Energetic, bratty and full of punch lines. Dig this joint from '98.
(sorry for the censored video - if anyone finds the real one hit me up)
Way Gone Wednesdays: Action Bronson
I give very little love to the new school. Can't stand most of these kids - mostly because they don't meet my three-tier requirements to be considered quality goods. A) have a nice voice (Nas, Jay, Doom, Redman) B) have a nice flow (Rugged Man, Pharaohe Monch, Aesop Rock) and C) have something to say (Brother Ali, Mos Def) or at least be so cool that I don't care (Missy).
Although his flow is all Ghostface, Action Bronson is one of the only new schoolers to get a pass from me. He not only meets all three aforementioned requirements but also tends to ride over the dopest sample-heavy beats. Dig this video for "Steve Wynn". Way gone.
