Lady B — (Part 3) Strictly for That Nigga


Third and last tape credited to the name Lady Bee and performed entirely by Derrick "Kingpin Skinny Pimp" Hill, self-produced and self-published through his own label. Just under half an hour and nine songs (one skit) in a journey that has few thematic differences compared to what Biggie wrote for Lil Kim, while musically, he breathes deeply in the dark air of Memphis. The boy chooses minimal rhythms, downtempo drums, sublime, light and dark samples, often managing to create a good atmosphere on which he performs with the high-pitched voice as Lady Bee with a slow, flowing, dusty style. Cassette brilliant in its simplicity, practically devoid of weaknesses, there are many good moments, the best by far is the title track aka "Bust Ass Nigga": drum downtempo and perfect samples, fantastic mood, ethereal and nostalgic, Skinny Pimp realizes one of his best works ever, classic tune. 7/10.
