Riff: Joey Bada$$ – “No. 99″

Dec 10, 2014

We coming for groups of guys in suits and ties/Who chose to hide truth from the eye/Grab a white collar by his white evil eye/Fight or flight yo, that’s just what it is/When you see a pig, hit him in his baby back ribs

from No. 99 lyrics by Joey Bada$$

An amalgam of styles meant to illicit a physical and spiritual riot. Statik Selektah flips the “Scenario” sample just enough to avoid plagiarism, and lucky for him the focus lands primarily on Joey B. who apparently takes great pleasure in ripping the one-percenters and the police who protect them.
