West Coast Cypher






This made me smile. Where do I start?

DJ Quik beating on the table brings me back to high school. The lunchroom table is where my man Rahkii used to hold us down with the beats. His assortment of silver rings served as a perfect carrier for the high-hats and symbols which complemented perfectly the deep bass resonating from his thenar and hypothenar colliding with the faux wood table. The fact that he eventually migrated to the left coast is merely a coincidence to this post. Either way, good times...

Anyway, IMHO Snoop is a great, not good, but great, freestyle rapper.

Yeah. yeah,  his lyrics might be simple, and his flow not overly complicated but he just always seems to rise to the occasion. Fun. Appropriate. Not overdone or forced

As much as I love the "Free"styles that many of the deep and complex wordsmiths and punchline junkies alike come up with, there are times where it just comes of a too much. Like a dude that shows up on casual Friday in a tux.

A free, or "free", should be fun.

Snoop just gets it.
