Rap Genius Users - Mecca and Soul Brother VS. Moment of Truth lyrics

Floral_Jones - Mecca and Soul Brother by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth Opening Statement: Rebu*tal: Closing: BarryBombs - Moment of Truth by Gang Starr Opening Statement: Clocking in at an hour and eighteen minutes, Moment of Truth by Gang Starr is the epitome of East Coast rap. While it had gone gold within two months of its release, it is never frequently mentioned among cla**ics such as Illmatic that came out during this revolutionary era of hip-hop. Despite this, Moment of Truth holds up as a clear example of the eerie beats and thought-provoking bars that gripped fans of the genre during this time. Capturing DJ Premier in his early prime, this record showcases his marvelous sampling work alongside the beauty that is the programming of his drums. Matching the lyricism of the time, Guru wastes no time to get introspective and aggressive with his pen. With a sonically appealing flow and delivery, the late MC drops complex rhyme schemes similar to that of Black Thought from The Roots. Whether it be spirituality, gang violence, the music industry, warfare, or simply just his superior rapping ability, Guru takes any and every concept together with his clever writing sk**s to convey a positive message for you to marinate on throughout the album. Jazzing up the vocals with the equally jazzy production, MCs such as Inspectah Deck, M.O.P., Scarface, plus more make appearances to add additional diversity within the record's run time Rebu*tal: Closing:
