cam'ron ft beanie sigel + memphis bleek - "welcome to the extravaganza" (or it might be officially called "the roc")
best intimidation-rap track of the year. no chorus, so you focus completely on the cadence of the rappers. their rhymes aren't classic or anything but they just attack the beat so nicely it makes me shudder. kind of like the way jay-z and biggie take on the beat on "brooklyn's finest", or jadakiss on "we gon' make it" - in fact this has a similar end-of-tether soul loop for them to sound desperate and threatening over. cam'ron's voice has gained character, seriously you have to hear him on this line to believe it: "all y'all think it's peace and peachy/i leave you reesy piecy, all my bitches rock/christian dior, bcbg/'round phony niggaz get the heeby jeebies/hungry hoes say "killa feed me feed me..."/calm down ma, easy easy". he has found the secret of swaggering convincingly!
