While you’re enjoying the sounds of Pimpire Strike Back, I thought I’d run through six of his finest moments before the undisputed classic Marcberg album dropped in 2010.
“Game of Death” [12″ version]
Roc gets dumb over some Pete Rock drums from the first U.N. release, which was remade for the UN or U Out LP to include the rest of the crew.
P Brothers feat. Roc Marciano – “Caviar”
This Nottingham production duo were early Marcy supporters, featuring him on three outstanding tracks.
The U.N. – “Hardcore” (Revisited)
“MC’s”
This has to rank up there with Diamond D‘s “I Went For Mine” as one of the best uses of a flute in a rap beat.
“Time Kills” feat. Dino Brave
This loop just reappeared on the first track from the new Troy Ave. album.
The U.N. – “Golden Grail”
One of Roc’s first productions, using a borrowed MPC.
“long time comin” was one of my favorites too.
Golden Grail=Still one of tha hardest beats of all time
“Long Time Coming” dope too. Let’s make the list eight with “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy.”
The UN joints were dope
