The track as it ended up, really sums up what we feel a lot of hip-hop is lacking now a days: Classic loop chopping, beat busting.... and ill rhymes. lyrically it is an emancipation for me. Stepping out on my own and letting people know that this is the "Remedy". If you like, even love good and true hip-hop then this joint is for you.
lyrics
Yeah, another one coming at them Jonny
Straight up Yeah...gonna make me roll my sleeve up for this one..
Well Let me give it to ya straight yes sir the bottom line
A wordsmith VaSlim so refined
With no BS or ca ca or miscellaneous
Manifesting my dope rhyme instantaneous yo
Straight off the top now and with the hop now
As we proceed "Operation Lock Down"
Straight as an arrow yo, in this scenario
Digi by design analog to Stereo
Because its the Soundsci Soundscientifical
Hit ya with the force yes like centrifugal
I'm on my own now, standing on my own two
Feet complete busting thru all the residue
And frustrations, obstacles, illusions
Going to for self now nothing to prove son
To anyone at anytime I rhyme
Best believe i achieve know the bottom line straight up..
Check,check,check out the melody
Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy
Check,check,check out the melody
Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy
Straight Up yo I give it to ya dope like that
I'm fitted and authentic classic like a throw back jersey
My lyrics never be Topsy turvey
J on the cut kid tell them what the word be..
Okay now back to beat and rhythm and rhymes
straight like im doing it now touching ya mind
Braincells busting, rhymes im touching
Pattern my flow and I'm going never rushing
Yes a rhyme maniac, beat buster a braniac
A PHD in MPC ya'll im saying that
Paying my dues doing what I choose while y'all snooze
Checkmate, game over seeing you all loose
The fat lady singing, check the ill we bringing
The illy illnes for realness is what we feeling
Check,check,check out the melody
Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy
Check,check,check out the melody
Audessey and JonnyCuba with the Remedy
So now you know..
Jonny's Production notes:
I had always wanted to hook this loop up since a friend hipped me to it years ago, the driving bass makes for a compelling listen. When I looked at the samples they really needed chopping to make the pocket deeper. When it came to arrangement the real task was to keep a 2 bar loop interesting over 3 minutes... Lots of dropouts!
This is the only track on the EP where I did the cuts. I felt others in the crew could rock it much harder on the turntables, need to sharpen those rusty skills.
