What I'm listening to today: "Ha", Juvenile
This one's a classic of Dirty South hip-hop, a truly foundational work. If you feel this you will Feel it and I won't need to explain it to you. If you don't feel it, try to think of this as a *historical document*. Here is a narration of being a drug dealer in the late 90s (what is a "triple beam", and what is it for?) and a video which is basically a documentary time capsule of pre-Katrina New Orleans. Entirely unreplicable.
@mcc I feel old, the vid is super cool, but the delivery is too "modern" for me. I prefer this (also references triple beams): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhG8xoFqYz8
Fun fact: Triple beams are called "tanitas" in Spain because of the dominance of a single brand in the 90's: https://tanita.eu/consumer-scales
Now THAT is old school!
