Throwback Thursday: Special Ed-- "I Got It Made"

Posted on May 22, 2008 8:00 AM

Instead of having you guess which vid I was gonna pick this week, I just decided to give it away.

After reading the countdown of that mockery of a "Hottest MC's" list MTV put out, I had the craving to hear some really dope lyrics. I won't go off on a tangent about it since I already did on the air yesterday, but damnit, even if that list was meant to be a compilation of the hottest EMCEES in the game RIGHT NOW, it was a joke (come the f-ck on, WHY did Rick Ross make the cut?)

And I know, Special Ed has other joints, yet this is the one he's most associated with. But the sh*t's tight! I love the fact that he's talking about how fly is is, yet rocks a f-cking twenty dollar hoodie. He still makes you believe he's fly, and that's the essence of swagger. Plus, his curly high-top is what really has it made (that sh-t looks fly on him, I'm sorry!)

Maybe I just REALLY REALLY REALLY love old-school beats & flows.. but you mean to tell me that NUMBER F-CKING THREE on that list, Lil' Wayne, spit something that was even REMOTELY close to being fly as this? "BOVINE EXCREMENT!"

Is it me, or does Special Ed remind you of the rapping Allen Payne? I'm just sayin..


Lastly, I gotta give a shout out to my home borough-- BROOKLYN!!-- for being the main star of this clip. ESPECIALLY my one of my favorite places in the whole word, Prospect Park (of course, the Brooklynites recognized that.)

Thoughts? Comments? Got suggestions for next week's Throwback? Holla!
