MarkB Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I remember this track from...late '90's, I guess; maybe '98 or '99, that got massive airplay on the radio for a short time, then totally fell off and wasn't played again because it was saturated so much. The only part I can remember is the hook, that went something like "The P, the H, the I, the L, the L, the Y, the P, the A, it's Philly, it's Philly". Sounds generic as hell, but I remember the lyrics being pretty tight. Anyway, I've spent most of the morning listing to another Philly rapper and remembered this track. Checked Google, checked OHHLA.com, checked all the resources I know, and can't find the damn track. Please tell me someone else around here knows which track I'm talking about! :oops: Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/20531-any-hip-hop-heads-remember-this-track/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Is this it? http://www.elyricsworld.com/go/E/Eve-lyric...lly-lyrics.html Nope, that's not it. I don't think it was done by someone you could name off the top of your head, such as Beans or Eve. KC, yeah, I think that might have been a remix that Diddy did. (Christ, I hate that name.) This is bugging the hell out of me. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/20531-any-hip-hop-heads-remember-this-track/#findComment-248808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Unfortunately not, but I'll need to keep a look out for that track. ;) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/20531-any-hip-hop-heads-remember-this-track/#findComment-248816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Found it on an old cassette. Seems to be by Major Figgas and Beanie Sigel. Can't find lyrics for it anywhere, either. 8O Played it on cassette, recorded with MP3 player, converted to MP3 file, final result is here. If you don't like hip-hop, don't bother listening to it. Now if only I could find the name of the track, I could get a real MP3.

edm Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 the only thing that comes to mind is Boogie Down Productions Jimmy. It's older than late 90's and doesnt have anything to do with Philly, but has a similar hook as you described. Great old school rap song too.
