Here`s another CD Single that I scooped up during another lil` visit to a pawn shop. Big Pun, truly an individual who`s presence & humor HiP HoP`s been missin`! Unless you`ve been under a rock, you know that the BiG homie`s word~play was straight cashew & then some plus tax. I still remember when I first heard Big Pun, it was on a college Hip Hop radio show (can`t recall the exact show) & the song was "You Ain`t A Killer"...
I was impressed, definitely dug his lyrical content & the beat was pretty sick as well. However when I first heard "Twinz (Deep Cover `98)" I was straight blown away! Pun was spittin` nothin` but heaters, especially when he flexed the now famous "Dead in the middle of Little Italy..." part, dude was just sick with it! As for the rest of the song, I think that both Big Pun & Fat Joe did a good job payin` homage to the West Coast with this one. Using Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg`s "Deep Cover" Instrumental both kats complimented one another & lyrically they held the East Coast down...
Since this is a single you get the Album Version, the Clean Version, the Instrumental & the A Cappella. One good thing about this single is that the A Cappella isn`t edited & the other thing worth mentioning is that the Clean Version isn`t edited in an annoying way. The cuss words are edited by sound effects instead of the good ol` classic but unenjoyable BeePs.....LoL, so you can still listen to the Clean Version without gettin` fuckin` annoyed. So do ya`self a favor & check it out...
