Appreciate

I appreciate Pete Rock & CL Smooth. IMO, PR is the greatest hip hop producer there has ever been. I think his nac for choosing and seamlessly mixing smooth samples with funky bass lines sets him apart from other greats like DJ Premier and RZA. And nothing compliments his silky smooth beats better than CL's silky smooth lyrics. As long as there are people who make and appreciate music like this... hip hop will never die.

My 5 favorite Pete Rock and CL Smooth tracks:

1) They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y)
2) One In A Million
3) Straighten It Out
4) Appreciate
5) All the Places

(my ex girl once told me I remind her of John Cusack in High Fidelity because I'm always declaring lists like this... but, who doesn't? :)
