I saw Emynd the other day and he’s like “you know what you haven’t done in a long time? Blogged at Crossfaded Bacon.” I was like “true.” What’s sad for him is that I know that what I’m about to post is not what he had in mind, and I legitimately tried to avoid posting it even though this song is now my ringtone, was the name of the last Quizzo team I was on, and I keep randomly blurting out its lyrics such as “James Bond, Jackie Chan, and that bitch MacGuyver,” like I have some sort of NOLA Tourette’s. My song for the summer is officially “#1 Stunna” by The Big Tymers.
I feel totally justified posting this throwback because of today’s news that Freeway is signing with Cash Money. I really don’t know exactly what that means – it makes me a little uncomfortable to be honest – but I must be psychic because for the past week I’ve been digging in Cash Money’s crates from Juvenile to the Big Tymers and back. The label as a whole is an even mixed bag of really fun tracks, misogynistic lyrics that sound intentionally ridiculous, and well-played boasting that makes me forget that I’m pushing a corny Camry if I turn it up loud enough. “#1 Stunna,” from 2000 was also on The Original Kings of Comedy soundtrack, which is why this video features Steve Harvey n’em.
hot boys & big tymers were on fire in their day
