limp bizkit f method man - n2gether now (1999)

thats right i said it!! ninety nine was such a golden twelve months for premier that in between so ghetto and the only mos def track i can still listen to he could give this delicately hardcore beat to a fucking metal band and i'd still love it. its not a hard jam to take apart, the best parts are the descending shaolin flourish and marley marl/early bad boy single random bell squelch thing, but it just has that superb eternal session feel, like a giant lineup of every rapper on the planet could lurk on it for hours and approach the shit from like nine million crazy styles. besides all that it needs to be on the list for historical importance because its 1) premo's only successful summer jam ever and 2) the first ever rap rock track to totally get rid of guitars, which was mindblowingly revolutionary and created the enviroment for the current linkin park remix cd which is the future of pop music

i wish i had more to say on the lyrics though because i cant stand fuckers who skip them to talk about the beat but both mcs are almost see-thru, i bet meth himself forgot that weak verse before he left the booth and f durst tries really hard but his rap voice is toxic like that cleaning fluid in school hallways

of course because hes white and sings in a rock band that isnt british and 'spirally' all the skinny french guys who dig hiphop bugged and said the unexpected collab was because either the $$ was right to stick the l bizkit name on a finished premo meth track or that meth just 'stumbled' inside the studio odb style and dropped shit, but these stupid ass theories are proved wrong by the fact that both fred and meth make premeditated mentions of sunblock!! anyway if you feel guilty listening to a blazingly hot premo track with a shit mc on it then its probably time to reevaluate your stance on gangstarr
