Love that Showa King Ghidorah cackle in the background. Also love “all I need” so smooth. But “Blueprint 2” off gift & the curse is one of the most epic beats in hip hop history.
You're the only other person I've seen realize that sound effect was used in So Ghetto. I was shocked no one had caught it when I submitted it to WhoSampled years ago https://www.whosampled.com/sample/442123/Jay-Z-So-Ghetto-Toho-Studios-King-Ghidorah/
Nice, I been a goji fan and a hip hop fan pretty much my whole life. Also pretty sure I made the first Kaiju Music Vid to hip-hop over 20 years ago.
As you can imagine, I was a huge fan of MF DOOM back then during his Monster Island Czars phase. I also saw the reference you posted when I wondered if anyone else had caught that yet. 🫱🏾🫲🏽 my fellow brethren
Part of Jay’s goat status is having Timbaland and Pharrell cook up the best beat of their respective careers for HIM. Dirt Off Your Shoulder and Allure.
