Random iPod Track of the Week - Fat Joe ft. Big Pun, Nas, Jadakiss and Raekwon "John Blaze"


I love it when Fat Joe's "John Blaze" pops up on my iPod because it gets my hyped every time I hear it.  The beat is just unreal with that booming bass and intense horn loop.  This has to be one of the best "possee" cuts of all time.  Every single rapper on this track was either in or close to their prime and each of them absolutely RIPPED the mic to shreds on their verse.   It also doesn't waste any time with a long chorus.  Just a few simple scratches of Method Man's "Johnny Blaze Ain't A Damn Thing Changed" and then right to the next first.  Sick.

This has to be one of Fat Joe's best tracks of all time but a lot of people don't know about it because it wasn't a huge commercial single.  This is when people were still making videos for the 3rd or 4th single from their album and didn't have to worry about commercial appeal.  This is just straight up 90's griminess.  This shit is hard!
  
Hottest lines: 
Big Pun -
"My crew puff lye, anyone test the Pun must die
Just give me one try -- 'Now you know you done fucked up right?'
Hah, you ain't got no wins in my casa
Que te pasa, you ain't even in my clasa"

"I'll appear in your dreams, like Freddie do, no kidding you,
Even if I stuttered I would still sh-sh-sh-shit on you"

Fat Joe -
"It's simple mathematics, you gotta love us
Cause Joey Crack plus gat equals a lotta dead motherfuckers"
