Yo Tim Westwood reps hip hop heavy. This Stat Quo/Dr. Dre beat is crazy. I can’t believe that track never took off. But that’s for another day. Erick Sermon absolutely bodied this verse. I’ve heard a variety of versions of this verse at some of his performances in the last 6 months. I think the first time I heard it was at a show headlined by Keith Murray. Dudes need to respect the legends… Erick Sermon included. On the topic of legends though… I get the feeling a lot of these dudes / hip hop legends are still stuck in a time-warp… NOT MUSIC WISE, but mentality wise. They fail to recognize the power of the internet, the importance of reaching out to an online audience, and that music is fast becoming a free commodity (or for many, it has already become that years ago). I hope Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith recognize this and take advantage with some creativity marketing to really bring out their new album. Hit the search for EPMD’s first single “Listen Up”.
