#RushHourRap – Gang Starr ft J. Cole – Family and Loyalty

“Family and Loyalty” came out last October on Gang Starr’s “One Of The Best Yet” album and if you know anything about me you know I am a huge J. Cole guy. So it’s pretty cool to see him link up with living legends in Gang Starr. Although with all due respect to Gang Starr, J. Cole absolutely murders this track and burns the whole damn thing down because thats just what Jermaine does.

I’m like the realest one you ever met
If you don’t feel this one, give it a sec
Go live a little, let the years pass
Experience pain, watch the tears crash on to the floor
Hurt brings wisdom
Wisdom brings a whole ‘nother sort of understandin’

Let us never forget Gang Starr also had one of the best features on Entourage way back in the day when Vinny goes to buy a Rolls Royce.

#RushHourRap – Gang Starr – Work

This song dropped in 1998, but in true white bro fashion I first heard it in 2004 in an episode of Entourage.

That is the true definition of a who with no middle ground; you either love Entourage or you hate it with the passion of a thousand suns. Where do I stand on it? Well Big Z and I have an episode of The 300s Podcast devoted entirely to Entourage in the works.

Aiyyo I’m gonna be on ti-dop, that’s all my eyes can see
Victory is mine, yeah surprisingly
I’ve been laying, waiting for your next mistake
I put in work, and watch my status escalate
