Hill Street Blues

Real recognize real, and Mike Post is a real legend. My man Mike has written music for TV shows since the 70s and has won five Grammys. Prior to that, he was a session musician for artists such as Sammy Davis, Jr. and Dean Martin, and Sonny and Cher. In fact, Post played guitar on their timeless classic "I Got You Babe".

World Renowned. . . . Roc-A-Fella, Holla!

All I know is that Reg Tilsley was a composer. And this is from his orchestra!


Everybody hate on Cam because he rhymes like he got Dr. Seuss books piled up in the studio. . . but that boy can spit! And this track was like, in my opinion, the epitome of spittin that hot shit. Killa went IN on this thang!


Play 'em like April 1st
Right before I slide off
It could be March 2nd
Sound like July 4th. . .

C'MON!

Just another Kanye West production for you.

Did You Know? II

*LINKS FIXED*

That Kanye didn't actually produce this track? It was done by his in house producer, Brian "All Day" Miller. Never heard of him? Have you heard "Champion" from Graduation? He produced that, too. In other words, you'll probably be hearing a lot more about him soon. . .
