As an avid hip-hop connoisseur of New York 90’s era, I can surely state that there were dope beats, dope lyrics, and just overall DOPE music. One of the eras greatest producers was and is DJ Premier, one half of Gangstarr. He is among the most consistent producers ever with the boom-bap style and the ridiculous scratch cut-ins for hooks. The big weird shit with Premo is that he has a record of picking half-ass emcees to rock over his beats. Some of those are Smiley The Ghetto Child, Blaq Poet, AND LAST BUT MOST DEFINITELY NOT LEAST Group Home. The team of Lil Dap and Malachi the Nutcracker came out with the CLASSIC record “Livin Proof” in 1995. Many people consider this album Premo’s best work EVER production-wise. Lyric-wise the keeds in the street would say L O L L M A O. So I will go into the best (or worst) lyrics that Group Home has ever spit….
“Put the boys on the street, make them walk this beat
Teach them how to eat, and to seek for peace”—”Livin Proof”
“Yo I rock on the block with the real hip-hop
As you start to clock… and jock”—”Livin Proof”
“When I take flight (like who kid?) Like Mike”—”Livin Proof”
“Big time doe, money is a thriller/I’m gettin more iller than the Zodiak Killer”--”Supa Star”
“Chicks Grabbin’ they cunts”—”Supa Star”
“Word to AH (1.5 second Pause) LAH, and it don’t seem hard”—”Supa Star”
“I’m eatin’ curried chicken and rice these hoes look nice”—”Inna Citi Life”
“Swing the mic live in trife do what you like
I hit your moms in the head with a metal pipe”—”Inna Citi Life”
“I make you wanna jump, sike, I kill a fuckin’ mike
I write the hype dope lyrics that you like”—”Inna Citi Life”
“Aiyyo the crooks be crooks and the sons be sons
Made the biggest man beat the man with the biggest guns”—”Sacrifice”
“Deadly like a rattle snake
But I don’t rattle”—”Sacrifice”
“You funny, like a fuckin dummy Bugs Bunny”—”Sacrifice”
“Me and my crew got to live in proof
Livin Proof”—”Sacrifice”
“When we walk these streets, Lyrics do get deep”—”Suspended in Time”
“You gotta put ya mind in achieve mode, Go for your goals BOOM BOOM explode”—”Suspended in Time”
“You know how I rock, I rock nonstop, Hop on stage, you jump..on my jock”—”Suspended in Time”
THATS ONLY A PARTIAL LIST TOO, I could go on for another 2 hours

what a waste of a good beat. even tho the hook gets a bit repetitive. it was good seeing DAve chaPelle in his early days when he went under the name lil DAP (the second guy rhyming).
