(2)Deep: Various Artists Hip-Hop – The Wake Up Show Anthem 1994

This has to be hands down, my favorite of all Wake Up Show Anthems ever recorded. Check the lineup: NaS, Organized Konfusion, Ras Kass, Dred Scott, Shyheim, unknown???, Saafir and Lauryn Hill on the hook. This was 92.3 The Beat and LA’s anthem at the time. Despite being all the way out in Hawaii, I was always tuned in to the Wake Up Show with Sway & King Tech which, believe it or not, we actually caught out here. At one point, I had damn near the entire collection of the Wake Up Show freestyle compilations. Moms unfortunately threw them shits out. I’ve also included a freestyle from Hawaii’s own Tassho Pearce who was invited up to the Wake Up Show a few times. This particular freestyle is from a cipher that featured Pharoahe Monch and Mykill Myers.

“Put cocaine on my tongue // You got crack now rock on…”

  6. i love that this is tagged with “Posse Cuts.” there is a lack of real posse cuts nowadays (except for the over-saturation from dj khaled). they all seem too forced and like giant marketing gimmicks (which they are). you need an actual posse, preferably kinda related but not all from the same crew, and some sort of theme.

    so many favorite posse cuts (relunctantly leaving off the wu and bcc as every song could potentially be a posse cut)…the “flip mode vs def squad” joint on busta’s first album, “the symphony,” “underground tactics” (with planet asia, rasco, heltah skeltah, and crooked i), dr dre’s “some la n*$$@s,” the “home” cut off of jake one’s most recent joint….man i could keep going but i prolly should work.

  9. @Drizzy Yessir.

    @bushytop I absolutely agree. Buddy (De La), The Symphony (Juice Crew) and John Blaze (Fat Joe x Nas x Pun x Jada x Rae) are three that come to mind that are instant classic posse cuts in my eyes.
