Finding a Gem After 14 Years



I haven't truly listened to Hiphop music in over 7 years now, but the other night i was bored at home and looking at videos through Youtube.

I stumbled upon this song from Above the Law called "Black Superman" that i listened to all the time when i was 13 years old. It was one of my favourite songs at the time, and I couldnt believe it when i found out that they actually had a video for it too. For those of you who don't know, Above the Law were the original pioneers of the G-Funk westcoast sound with the high-pitched synthesizer rides. They were signed to Eazy-E's Ruthless Records before he passed away shortly. Many will dispute Dr. Dre's claim that he was the originator of the G-Funk sound and say that he had actually bit ATL's productions.

Listening to this song really brought back nostalgic feelings. Gone are the days of good hiphop. They simply just don't make these kind of beats anymore. Above the Law was the truth...

Ohhh yeah, check out the second video too. CLASSIC TRACK with cameos from Eazy-E and pornstar Janine......UNTOUCHABLE!!!

Above the Law - Untouchable
