FOTM: THUGSTEP #26+#27

Two for one today; the month of July was nutzo for me. I went to LA at the end of June, and when I got back I just felt SWAMPED. I got ish done, but absentmindedly forgot to post the FOTM for July '09 a month ago, so its in here alongside this month's FOTM. Dirty beats...

Yung Joc vs. Juju "Going Down (DJ Nappy Extended THUGSTEP Refix)": "beat in my trunk, bought it just fo da freaks"; so goes Joc's intro into the game. This uptempo banger from Juju sounds tailor-made for Joc's party-ready anthem. Can you still do that motorcycle move?

Rich Boy vs. Benga "Throw Some D's (DJ Nappy Extended THUGSTEP Refix)": Rich Boy's entrance into the game came from this Cadillac-lovin' ode to the pursuit of twinkies. That bottom-heavy riddim from Benga should have the block rockin' when it pumps through your speakerbox, trust. Polow Da Don even comes off on this one!

Death Of Anterior Cruciate Ligaments

Ever since "D.O.A." dropped, Enigmatik and myself will gchat new lyrics to the song, some funnier than others. Here's a lil' ditty we drafted (working title "D.O.A.C.L.") this morning, while reflecting on Drake's recent injury:

only nigga to dance on stage, fall on his face
"Drake is illest rapper"?, get ya leg replaced
hold up!

THIS IS ANTI-WALKING
DEATH OF THE ACL
DRAKE GOT HIS SWAG-ON ONSTAGE THEN THE NIGGA FELL
UGH
GET THEM CRUTCHES OUT
UGH
MAKE A GROWN MAN CRY OUT
UGH
PAIN HURT SO BAD, CLOSE YA EYELIDS
THIS IS DEATH OF ACL, MOMENT OF SILENCE

(good riddance)

niggas turns ain't tight
his left ain't right
screaming in pain all night
[THAT'S TOO FAR NIGGA!]

I MIGHT WEAR A CAST FOR A YEAR STRAIGHT...
I MIGHT ROCK CRUTCHES, FUCK IT, CANES!

Grab the instrumental and fill in the gaps.
