Track 7 – Plan B F/ Napoleon

this one doesnt have much of a story. went to brick beats’ house, he played a bunch of beats, i said “skip that one” and donwill said “hold on go back to that…”

he loved it, but i didnt “get” it until later. one day we were in the knitting factory and don was like “yo…we need to do a song about what we’d be doing if not this, to that one brick joint”. he wrote a hook and i asked my friend kristy if her brother would be on our song for the lp. i forget people know/like us sometimes so i was afraid to ask but napoleon said “of course!” and he bought it home. of course the main event of this song is ilyas’ verse. those that know us personally know that tanya morgan started out donwill and von pea featuring ilyas. at first it was supposed to be like tribe and consequence on beats rhymes and life…it was a don and von group album but we wanted him to be on a good 6 or so songs, then that just turned into the whole album and then just turned into the group being all 3.

its the 3 of us equally of course but i think its always been on ilyas’ mind that something he was recruited for ended up changing his life. truth be told none of us  would be where we are if it wasnt for the 3 of us as a whole. i truly believe some don and von shit wouldn’t have done it the same.  same way brand nubian aint the same without grand puba. yeah they got “punks jump up” and “love me or leave me alone” but it aint “one for all” or “slow down”.

im still leaving these guys though. FLASH! ITS LONELY AT THE TOP!
