DevilsJim89 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I was browsing through some CDs in my car a couple days ago and I found a CD I made like a lil over 2 years ago and its called "DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince - Forever 80s". I come across Track 4 which is "Numero Uno" and oh man, that song is straight fire. FP is just spittin raw heat while Jeff is just scratching it up. Probably lyrically, skillfully, one of their best songs ever. The wordplay is just so sophisticated and pure. This is how battle rapping should be. Now I'm sitting here wondering why FP doesnt rap like that anymore. I use to read online how some people argue that FP was better as the Fresh Prince than his solo. Obviously its true. I want JJFP to just go flat out fast like flo-jo, crazy like kujo .. haha I just love the speed and delievery and how on point it all is. And then right after this track is the raw .."He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper" track..love it!!! "Pop so much trash, man I can't wait to be face to face, and hear Jeff say SICK EM Man you're gonna be my victim..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevTastic Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 And In This Corner took years to grow on me as much as the other albums. But its the one i have been listening too the most lately. Great sampling by Jeff, interesting styles by FP. Playfull, experimental. AWESOME Go listen again right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted February 24, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 numero uno is one of the best battle rhymes from FP.. I love the fast like flo-jo line.. and does he do the "i just transformed it..like jeff does" in this? thats another brilliant moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fresh Prince of Amsterdam Posted February 29, 2008 Members Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Tell Me Why and Just Cruisin' are the only Will Smith songs that come close to his JJ&FP time in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefCEM Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 @FPofAmsterdam Man, dont forget Potnas and The Rain. Those tracks are on the same level as their oldskool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Brakes Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 How many bars does Will spit on the second verse! Its a crazy amount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigted Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 It's vintage JJFP right there, hip-hop at its realest form, "Numero Uno" is one of my all time favorite tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic1988 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 even now, I honestly don't listen to JJFP as much as I used to but, Numero Uno is a track always worth listening to. It can put me in the mood to listen to JJFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
