I like Rakim - dude was sick. But man, when he went solo, he was supposed to blow up... I mean, he's good, he just didn't blow up like I thought he would.
Love Dre Dog aka Andre Nikatina. My friend back in the day was his Portland Poon. In fact, she did some basic vocals and samples for him. So I got to meet him a few times - bad ass dude.
Local drug dealers would say "Nicky I like ya style- keep doin' it"
and I would look at 'em like "What I'm doin'?" but Imma do it fa show.
