I'll also go with the unexpected appearance of Ante Up on 'War for Everyone' (underrated imo, but sort of love it or hate it type film):
The last line in Billy Danze' first verse makes me laugh every time...also, looking at YT apparently the Busta version was MUCH more popular.

Phenomenal. I'll never forget how he says, "*****ing one of my good rats"

Jeen Yuhs Part 1 was incredible.
Got me bumpin College Dropout all night after watching this.
Watching Roc a Fella marketing execs just ignore Kanye trying to play them All Falls Down is wild. Dudes hustle to get signed was pure drive.

I hate to mess with your memories but….
he says “n’s after me for ’in one of they hood rats”.
Which is accurate to the movie, and played a big role in the plot, as the whole song basically told the story of the movie.

I don’t know what Jeen Yuhs is, but, College Dropout is speaking my language.
I was a big Kanye fan in the Freshman Adjustment, College Dropout days.
My guys Little Brother telling some early Kanye stories. I love this, lol.

It’s the Netflix doc that just came out about Kanye. Part 1 is out… the entire episode is footage from when he was a producer in Chicago, then moved to NYC to try to get signed to a label. Incredible footage of him before College Dropout trying to get noticed…. Scenes with Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Scarface etc..

The opening few tracks to that album were ridiculous. Still remember buying the CD at the Sangertown Mall in Utica, and just blasting this one in the parking lot as I was leaving:

There are a few CDs I've purchased when I was younger where immediately upon putting them in I think I lost my mind I like them so much....this is most certainly one of them.
Just so many insane verses from so many different people even - Greg Porn and Black Thought in 'I Can't Help It' still gets me.

Absolutely agree! Kiss gets all the hype - and he deserves it, but Styles has a really good solo discography.Yeah, Styles is pretty underrated IMO, but so are most talented people in hip-hop
