What I'm listening to today: "Southside", Lil Keke
What if I spent this entire week linking classic "dirty south" hip-hop tracks I loved from 97.9 The Box back in the 90s (which, I am visiting Houston this week and their selection is still excellent). No one could really stop me.
Here's known DJ Screw associate Lil Keke, dropping an effortless flow that stuck in my head for 29 years and my favorite instance of slide guitar in the entire corpus of music. Sorry Beck

But come on, the edit, it's hilarious! I think we're supposed to believe he's making actual cake in his mother's kitchen?
Note, whichever version you listen to, it's NECESSARY it be on a system with good, clearly audible bass. Do not rob yourself of this bassline.
