Bunch of Seattle Dudes Prod by Jake One "Home" : The Song & The Video

[xpanther206]

From his White Van Music album there was that Seattle anthem on there. I haven't been posting but don't recall that song getting a lot of hype on here (maybe b/c it's on an out of town label?). What does everybody think of the song and the video? I think it's outstanding, one of the best songs I've heard from Seattle since spring of '05 when Crytical, Frame & a Loco double-disc dropped all w/in a month of each other. I am really excited about this song and just hope that Jake One continues to work w/ Seattle acts in the future:

Followup question : who is the guy who does that long verse in the middle where he says "Union-Jackson-Yesler 23"?

 

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Wow I had no idea one of those guys was from Seattle, had to be a local to rep small areas that specific, I just wikipedia'd there group and it says he's from here.

sick vid n sick track. dis was on mtv jams??

Vitamin D, Note, Maneak B.....good verse. Ish rhymes almost exactly like Prodigy (Mobb Deep)...uncanny. He had the top verse, IMO. Being nitpicky....they all rhyme with multis, but other than Ish, didn't flip or switch it up that much. But other than linguistic/mechanics stuff (which is mainly personal preference)..... the song is tight. No complaints at all about the Video--it's solid. I'm feelin I might have to track down this album and buy it, so the song accomplished its purpose.

A lot of good songs on there from both national & local acts, including the best flip of Willie Hutch's 'I Choose You' I've ever heard and that song has obviously been sampled dozens of times.

Damn that shit was fuckin sick. I'm sigging that shit.

EDIT: whos the dude that drops the line "I Read Seattle Times, I Watch Seattle News, I Hope Seattle Wins, I Watch Seattle Lose..." that verse is ridiculously sick.
