I don't know how many of you read Passion of the Weiss on the regular, but for those of you who missed it, my man Zilla, channeling his inner Goldilocks, recently dropped a post over there lamenting the fact that hip hop is filled with rappers who spend either too much or too little time on the mic and only a few who get it just right.
One of those put into the "Too Much" category was Sean Price, who earned his spot alongside Lil Wayne (whose Da Drought 37 should be dropping any day now) for recycling verses from low profile collaborations with your favorite MySpace rappers. The following song, featuring Sean P alongside Little Brother's Big Pooh and the Bay Area's Bash Bros. off of their new album Main Event, is unlikely to change Zilla's opinion of the man, but he should at least get props for slipping in a City of God reference (though now that I think about it, the fact that he's referencing a movie from 2002 makes me wonder if this verse doesn't already exist on some long forgotten B-Side):
Bash Brothers featuring Sean Price and Big Pooh - Rock the Spot
Sean Price is an absolute monster on the mic, but I sometimes question his beat selection. So as far as I'm concerned, the more songs he appears on the better - it increases the likelihood of him spitting a verse over a beat that I might actually be interested in listening to.
For more from The Bash Bros., hit up their MySpace page. Last week they released a new mixtape, Daily Business Vol. 2, which they've made available for free over here.
