Re-Up Gang- "Good Morning" They reloaded! New clips! Re-Up Gang Records: WE GOT IT FOR CHEAP VOL.3: We Just Think We Better: We Like Multiple Titles: Promotional Strategy and Powder Product Demonstration



On First Listen: Sure, it's nice to hear the new coke rappers tip their hats (and scales) to some earlier coke rappers on 'Rainy Dayz,' and yes, their versions of 'Dey Know' and 'Roc Boys' kinda rip it, but this isn't the Clipse/Re-Up of Vols. 1+2. Those mixtapes were with cut with wordplay and metaphor, but behind all the clever vial/vile talk was resignation, resentment and bitterness. The Clipse despised not only Jive, but also the entire dunce-capping and kazooing music industry. They weren't merely trying to outshine some others rappers, they were trying to completely obliterate the originals with hate-verses, erasing with one white line at a time. Label woes and a critically acclaimed album behind them, Re-Up Records are now very much part of the music industry. The lyrics are still graduate thesis material, but they kinda forgot the hate=great equation. Solo albums from Ab-Liva and Sandman as well as another Clipse are in the pipeline, and I'm looking forward to them, but I hope they either get mad again or find a salt-substitute by then. There's a big Wayne diss on the 'Re-Up Intro,' and maybe the can go beat for beat with Weezy next time on We Got It For Cheap Vol 4: What Really Grinds Our Gears: Album Delays and Wayne's Psychedelic Non-Sequitors
