☮ A tribute Mixtape to the Native Tongues, the New York City-based collective of pioneer artists, emcees, DJs and producers, who contributed to shape hip-hop for the generations to come! ✿
Brand Nubian is an American hip hop group from New Rochelle, New York, composed of three emcees (Grand Puba, Sadat X and Lord Jamar), and formerly three DJs (DJ Alamo, DJ Sincere, and DJ Stud Doogie). Their debut studio album, One for All (1990), is one of the most popular and acclaimed alternative hip hop albums of the 1990s, known for socially conscious and political lyrics inspired by the teachings of The Nation of Gods and Earths. In 2008, About.com placed the group on its list of the 25 Greatest Rap Groups of All Time.
As the jewels jingle from the hot young and single little stunt;
A forty and a blunt, that's all she really wants.
But she'll spend your papes and she'll use up all your plastic,
And if you swing an ep', you'd better wear a prophylactic.
'Cause things are getting drastic;
Slide up in the wrong one, you'll end up in a casket.
