My stomach was growling so I just made a midnight food run. On the way back, a song from Noreaga and Beanie Sigel randomly popped in my head. "Badman" was part of the "Tracklist Magazine Mixtape: Def Jam Edition (The Inc, Roc-a-Fella, South)," a compilation that highlighted various artists under the Def Jam umbrella in 2005. The song "Friendz" by Noreaga with Mariah Carey and Big Pun was also on that project (go find that, too!). Originally written by The Who in 1971, "Behind Blue Eyes" was redone by Limp Bizkit in 2003 and the sampled hook went: "No one knows what it's like / To be the bad man / To be the sad man / Behind blue eyes / No one knows what it's like / To be hated / To be fated / To telling only lies." "Badman" was produced by the underrated Scram Jones. At one point I believe the project was available to stream through Spotify and other DSPs but it's since been removed. I'd have to search through my vinyl, but I believe the NORE tracks were on a Killah Kuts 12" or something similar as well. Nevertheless, that catchy hook has been replaying in my head and I thought I'd revisit and share it with y'all tonight. Listen below...
