Remember When (Remastered)

BISCOTTI

RUNAWAY

[Intro]
Back when boom bap banged and the bars were blessed,
We studied gods with mics—no need for tests.
This one’s for the greats, the raw, the real,
Let me show you how the golden era made us feel…

⸻

[Verse 1]
Eminem, pen venom in a padded cell,
“Lose Yourself” still hits like a warning bell.
Nas said it best, “Sleep’s the cousin of death,”
So I write in the dark just to honor his breath.

B-Real lit the blunt, then lit the booth,
Voice high as the sky, but his bars told truth.
Canibus came with a vocab unmatched,
Spit one verse, had whole careers detached.

Snoop slid in smooth with that laid-back flow,
“Gin & Juice” in his cup, talkin’ death row.
Meth from the Clan, sharp sword in his verse,
Brought the pain, uncut, like a Shaolin curse.

⸻

[Chorus]
This is for the ones who paved the path,
With a mic and a rhyme and a righteous wrath.
Each bar a brick in the temple of sound,
Legends of the game, forever crowned.

⸻

[Verse 2]
ODB was the chaos that the beat obeyed,
Wildstyle genius in every phrase he sprayed.
Busta bust through like a verbal cyclone,
Spit so fast he could bend time zones.

Dr. Dre laid the blueprint—beats and bars,
Built the West Coast sound that still hits hard.
Sticky Fingaz, raw with a razor grin,
Tales from the gutter where the pain kicks in.

50 came with hooks and a bulletproof vest,
“Many Men” tried, but he outlived the rest.
Mobb Deep taught us hell was real on Earth,
“Shook Ones” still echoes what a bar is worth.

⸻

[Bridge – Beat slows, soulful loop]
Big Pun hit the pocket with a Latin pride,
“Dead in the middle of Little Italy” he’d glide.
Gang Starr kept it jazzy with a monk-like grace,
Guru dropped gems at a champion’s pace.

Beastie Boys broke molds, flipped the whole scene,
Three white kids spittin’ like a dream-team machine.
Outkast brought the South with a space-age bounce,
“Elevators” raised the roof in every ounce.

⸻

[Verse 3]
DMX barked pain, every scar in his throat,
Each prayer was a poem, every growl a note.
Ludacris snapped with charisma and punch,
Turned slick talk into lyrical brunch.

KRS-One—the teacher, the voice, the flame,
Dropped science and truth in every name.
Bizarre from D12 with a twisted mind,
Dark humor in bars only he could find.

2Pac was the poet, the prophet, the fight,
“Keep Ya Head Up” still shines like light.
Biggie? Flow silk, every word a feast,
King of the East, never ceased, rest in peace.

⸻

[Outro – Beat fades to vinyl crackle]
Mic gods etched in the grooves of the game,
Carved with cadence, rhythm, flame.
Their words live on, immortal, unfurled,
90s raised us… now we rhyme the world.

Mic Gods

Remember When is a gritty, soul-charged throwback to the golden age of hip-hop — where every bar hit hard and every beat told a story. Inspired by the raw energy of M.O.P.'s "Ante Up" and the infectious swagger of Cam’ron's "Oh Boy," this instrumental bangs with heavy drums, sharp rhythm, and a triumphant ending laced with soaring trumpets. It’s a head-nod to the streets, the hustle, and the moments that shaped a generation.

This beat builds like memory itself — from raw and rugged to glorious and victorious. Whether you're spitting bars, reminiscing about simpler times, or just vibing, "Remember When" will take you there.
Press play — and go back to the era when hip-hop hit hardest.

Remember When

I'm into all kinds of genres, Hip Hop, Afrobeats, Reggae, R&B, EDM, you name it.  My style is eclectic. Some of my beats have no genre to be honest. Some of my beats expand the genre. I like feedback, so take a listen and let me know.

Lyricist & songwriter, looking for artists to collaborate with.
