Friday Night Hype

Oh yeah it's Friday! We are about to get our swagger on with an awesome performance as Big L shows why he was one of the greatest rappers, funny and filthy. There is no accompanying video, all the the better to check the rhymes and the beat by Lord Finnesse. There is an MP3 of the first verse on the the web somewhere, if I find the link i'll post it later.

If you listend to Big L first you'reprobably now a bit cocky, it's friday arvo and you might be ready for a drink, possibly a smoke. You might even feel a little bit guilty about the lethality of that last urge, well it has it's uses. I read somewhere the singer on this one, guitarist Steve Diggle, was forced to smoke heavily to get the right raspy tone for this song. It worked, the blend of urgency and melody makes me wanna reach for a pint and a silk cut. See you at the pub. Word.
