What's your take on Boo's 601 now we've finally heard it, mon ami? I'm thinkin' Ima is one of the great Concentration Camp tag-team cuts and my Camp compilation now feels incomplete without it :
can make a dollar triple
can take a innocent hoe and let the homies flip her
pierced clits and nipples? We'll let you fuck quicker
if you had Boss game you wouldn't need change to get her"
Boo ft. Lay-Lo - Ima
(From 601 album; 1999)
Strewth, Maxminelli killed this, but then Max ended stealing the show on pretty much every Concentration Camp-era track he ever laid down vocals on, didn't he? That said, I think Boo's "whether its mugshots or magazines, we all in the picture" line is my favourite moment of the song. Easily the best non-2012 Rap song I've discovered in 2012 thus far.
*EDIT* : whoa na, it's just occurred to me that Immuh from Max Minelli's Me & My Hustle album is a sequel to this, innit? :

I haven't heard it yet, i want to hear it in the best possible conditions and listen religiously like any okayplayer stan would do with a new dilla beat tape. Happy Perez changed my life t-shirts coming soon.
I'd wear one of those. Shout outs to Miguel.
"Ima ghetto life thuggin, McDonald grubbin,
on the video actin, at the concert bustin
My Woman dont want me to find her but Ima * 69 her
Im that backhand slappin n**ga them hoes stay in line for"
Man I love this. Kinda Broken Language-ish.
Totally Broken Language-ish even. I guess that must've been a big record in N.O since it clearly influenced Ha too.
and Pimpinabitch obviously. Actually Juvie's whole asking questions thing (Solja Rags, U Understand) has its roots in it as well imo
It wouldn't surprise me since they already have a tradition built off non-local songs with Triggaman and Rock The Beat.
Fuck, I meant to say Pimpinabitch and not Ha.
but pimpinabitch predates this album right ?
Yeah, but after Broken Language.
Me and Done are alluding to an old post I made about Solja Rags where I said about the cycle of Juve taking his inspiration for Pimpinabitch from Broken Language and then having the favour repaid by the east coast when Whoa swaggerjacked the same reoccurring word motif as Ha and U Understand.
okayyyyyyyy, sorry for being slow.
Nah, my mistake, I got it all jumbled.
