SCARFACE ft. ICE CUBE – “Hand Of The Dead Body” MUSIC VIDEO! (Lisa Ford’s Throwback IPOD Pick)
We want rap to be like it use to be, but even back in the day, it was receiving a lot of criticism for one thing or another. In 1994, two great and legendary rappers, Scarface & Ice Cube, came together to address the ‘bad rap’ that rap was getting and recorded “Hand of the Dead Body” (off of Scarface’s notorious, “The Diary” album).

COMMON Has The DOPEST Song Ever Recorded In HIP HOP #JustSayin’ {LIVE PERFORMANCE}

As long as it is the dopest out there, I can handle it. So far I like that new Kanye's, "Mercy" and his remix on Chief Keef's, "I Don't Like". On the old-school tip, I'm listening to cats like Tribe Called Quest's, "Get A Hold" and rewinding Too Short albums over and over again. After years…
