In all the songs that get posted on HipHopDX.com each week, there’s some greatness that doesn’t get the proper attention it deserves. With diverse tastes within the music, the people who bring you DX certainly check it all. This week we bring you a Marley Marl protege teaming with the latest sound of Dipset, a Wu-Tang Clan unsung hero, and for his second straight appearance, a homie of Ben Affleck, who will punch your teeth out. Viva La Coka!
Inspectah Deck – “Nasty (Remix)”
Billed as a remix, Wu-Tang Clan‘s Inspectah Deck essentially took Nas‘ instrumental and made a gallant attempt at making it his own. The Rebel INS has showed glimpses of greatness in the last three years, but this sounds like a recharged emcee, the same guy who stole many a show on the classic Enter The Wu-Tang debut 18 years ago. DX was particularly critical of last year’s Manifesto, and don’t get us started on an unwarranted Dubstep remix, but the staff kisses the ring this time around, with clever wordplay, syncopated rhyme-schemes and that smooth cadence. This was a welcomed reclamation from one of the nicest to do it.

Slaine featuring Action Bronson and Ill Bill – “Offensive Lines”
Visually, you’d need sunglasses to view this track with all of the pale white guys on it. All jokes aside, Slaine has worked his way up the ranks from a stick-up kid from Beantown being vicious for the hell of it to a rhyme-spitter worthy of praise. Thus, this is his second consecutive appearance in our Sunday selection, after last week’s Mister Jason feature spot. He opens up the track with, well, offensive lines about getting blowjobs in sixth grade while simultaneously painting tales of grimy comeuppance. DXnext alum Action Bronson picks up where he left off, calling the bluff of fake thugs with a no love mantra and O.G. Ill Bill comes through with the cleanup hustling verses of his signature morbidity. All the while Statik Selektah‘s sneaky production makes you end the song checking for your wallet. It’s nice to hear Slaine and Ill Bill out of La Coka Nostra‘s at-times-grating-element and Action Bronson makes the mission complete. Do we sense a supergroup in the cards for them all?

Tragedy Khadafi – “Narcotic Lines”
The Intelligent Hoodlum is back. Tragedgy Khadafi released numerous songs this week, with a strong balance of dense subject matter and street-savvy delivery. Backed by a sparse loop from Cam’ron‘s latest hit-maker araabMUZIK, this track sounded like ’00s-era Trag at his best. Although the continuous “2-5-2” drops make this almost sound like a possible freestyle, the brighter moments find the Queens emcee pioneer and mentor to Capone-N-Noreaga reclaiming his position since before a prison bid. Will it end up on Thug Matrix 3? We’re not sure either, but simple-but-effective smart bombs like this has made Trag’s career strong since the A&M deal ended.

That “OFFENSIVE LINES” is crazy nice. Trag is still dope.
It’s sad that greatness like this don’t make the radio anymore. I need to get up on these columns.
Narcotic lines that track go hard love the piano remind me of some early Mobb Deep.
Nasty Remix Deck went in just beautiful I heard a couple ppl on this his is best bar none.
Offensive lines I deff a slept on truly deserves to be in this category official the track cries to be heard.
Certified downloads, a good change from the gimmicks on the radio well needed!!!
Agreed fully.

I just paid $23,98 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $37,59 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $677 which only cost me $72,13 to buy. Here is the website we use to 0get it all from, CentStart.c0m

Is offensive Lines off any album??
All 3 joints were FIRE!! The “Offensive Lines” joint the last kid almost sounded like Ghostface. But Trag’s joint hit me in my chest straight up. His flow was hard and commanding, that’s the kinda hip hop I’m talking about. Not a bunch of so-called street cats sounding sweet and questionable, swag-trash….Hip hop still lives, just gotta dig deeper for the goodness. But joints like these make the diggin more than worth it to me.
