Moments Worth Listening For
the haunting piano loop on Snowin' in Miami that perfectly captures the paranoia of the drug trade
trick's voice cracking with raw intensity during the second verse of Based on a True Story Part II
the transition from the somber social commentary of They Don't (Live Long) into the aggressive energy of Kill-a-Head
