This is a joint from the "Dub Styles" project. Those of you that heard the leak of "Dub Styles" got to peep it. I'm not sure if its on the myspace, but that joint's been forgotten. Anyway, I wrote this track because I was just remembering the types of clothes I wore back in the day and how things have changed. Then when I was at the beatbattle earlier this month there was this kid there with a hightop fade and an Oakland A's baseball jersey. Now it was kind of fresh, I'm not going to lie, but duke couldn't remember when cats wore that ish. I myself do and the circle of cats I was in jokingly mentioned that these kids should bring back Hi-Teck/Jodici boots. HAHA
Things have changed, things have stayed classic and somethings have come back without their original meaning.
Well... for you kiddies, here's this joint.
FRESH (in the day) by Dawhud
Here's another joint I wanted to share and show the side by side of the original and the redux version. On the "Lost & Found" comp I had the original version of "Lyrics & Beats" I did around 97/98 and mentioned that I reused the hook for another song. Funny, because the hook ended up on this total redux of "Lyrics & Beats" and elements of one of the original verses ended up on "Come Equipped" on the "Dub Styles" project.

When hearing this version it's on some gutter/basement boom bap. Simple yet effective... some just want lyrics & beats.
Lyrics & Beats (Original Version)
Lyrics & Beats (original version 98) by Dawhud
Here's the original version from 97/98. The horn sample came from a porn movie that a friend of mine brought over to my house. I honestly hooked my tape player up to my VCR and taped the sample off of it. Later when I got my SU10, I loaded it up and looped some drums. I always dug the basic elements of this song, but it just didn't come out the way I really wanted, I guess that's why I kind of gave it the redux and chopped up verses to use on other tracks later on.
