The year was 2006, the album was Busta Rhymes' THE BIG BANG. The collaboration the world was waiting for. One of these MC's was on their A-game. The other, not so much.

Southern rap classic from 2001, Slim "Cutta" Calhoun and Andre 3000. Was not expecting this kind of verse from A3K, but the 2000s were just a different time.

Banger music video from 1993, former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel. The bass line on this one blew me away, and the video is not very subtle. He be smashing on shawty.

Stankonia by OutKast was one of my favorite rap albums in high school, loved every track on there especially this one. Bombs Over Baghdad was something else. We need to bring Andre 3000 back to hip-hop for real.

A lost gem from back in 2020, from Brooklyn's own RA The Rugged Man. Rugged Man was beefing with Lil Yachty around 2017, so I was curious to see what kind of bars he came with. This is an authentic first listen, I only glanced over the video when it dropped in early 2020.

We're analyzing this purely from a performance perspective. Diddy and Friends absolutely brought the house down at the VMAs in 2002. I'm completely OK if you want to cancel my channel for reacting to this, but we are going there for y'all. Featuring special guests Busta Rhymes, Usher, Ginuwine, Frank Zappa, and an aerial aerobics troupe.

Shout to the Majestic Twelve, a little known indie rock band from NC in the 2000s. Digging up a gem from the 2006 record "Schiziophrenology". I used to work for an indie rock label and this was my favorite band that I got to work with. Shout to M12 down in Wilmington.

DISCLAIMER: This reaction covers topics and visuals that might be sensitive for some viewers. But we are going there today, with special guest Funko FZ. It's Yachty and Weezy, nuff said. EnjoyDukesMusic (Alvin Sane)
