Daily Throwback: Ruff Ryders - Scenario 2000


The Shuffle God is ruthless for this one! This posse cut had me going bonkers when it dropped. It was featured on Eve's 1999 debut album, Let There Be Eve: The Ruff Ryders' First Lady. That's how dope it was, it made me buy Eve's album...yes people, I once spent money on an E-V-E album. This song was originally supposed to be a remix of Jay Z's summer anthem from that year, Jigga, My N*gga, which was produced by the Ruff Ryders' very own Swizz Beats, but I guess Hov was late to the studio that day to record his verse. The song was still the definition of fire, and made my 1987 Chevy Barreta feel like it was a fully loaded Hummer when this song exploded through the speakers. You got something to get off your chest? Listen to this, and all the weight will be lifted. You're welcome.

Daily Throwback: Limp Bizkit ft. Method Man, Redman, & DMX - Rollin' (Remix)


The Shuffle God dug in the crates today and found Freddy Durst and his little red hat. Limp Bizkit wasn't half bad. The had the best rock/hip-hop collabos of their era. They were able to blend into the hip-hop culture without sounding contrived or desperate (cough...Fall Out Boy...cough). I mean look who's on this remix; Meth, Red, and X, a platinum plus line-up. In 2013 terms, that roster would be the equivalent of Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, and J. Cole jumping on the remix of an Imagine Dragons track. Too bad Fred Durst kept constantly playing himself in public, and Limp Bizkit couldn't stay relevant for long. What's Freddy doing now you ask? He's coming off the bench for a label that features Paris Hilton and Justin Beiber's best friend. Now that's just a goddamn  shame. You're welcome.
