Reflection Eternal feat. Jay Electronica, J. Cole & Mos Def - "Just Begun"
I remember this shit dropping back in '09, but I never got my hands on it. I've been meaning to get Revolutions Per Minute for a while now, but I get so much new music all the time that I just haven't taken the time to go back and get the album. This song is pure fire though. Talib gets things rolling before Electronica comes in and owns the track. He starts his verse, "Smile on my face, tears of a sad clown/Feelin' out of place as I whistle a cab down/If I tip extra, can I huff a cig?/Blow my smoke out the window, droppin' ashes on the bridge," before spitting "I wanna go to the slum/And throw my money on the floor like the Notorious B.U.M." Cole holds his own and Mos closes the track saying, "The funky Four Horsemen and one more/With Hi-Tek on the score/Once more, of course." And yes, Hi-Tek's production is the perfect sound for these four MCs to get nice on.
