#34. The Fedz (MC Poet & Rockwell Noel) "Taking U Out"
Year: 1988
Produced By: Rockwell Noel
Album: 12"
Label: 11-A Records
MC Poet took it personally when KRS-One shat on his neighborhood, penning no fewer than four records taking shots at the Blastmaster. This is easily the most entertaining, as Poet spends a good portion of this tirade clowning KRS' hefty first wife, Ms. Melodie: "I'll make you and break you, just like a puzzle/Melodie's a Gooney Goo Goo, she need a muzzle/She eat all the chicken, the turkey and the hamburger/If you touch it, you'll get murdered!/That's why you're skinny, puny, and measly/She eat all the food and beat you up easily." Good thing that "Still #1 (Numero Uno Remix)" was on point, huh?

Come On isn't even close to beeing Large Pro's best beat of the decade. It's not even the best beat he gave to Sha.

Wrong cover tho. This was only released as a testpressing, so there wasn't even one. Also this wasn't actually the remix, but the original version.

Love the list, but if you were really running down the top 50, you would've included More tracks from Illmatic (NY State of Mind, Represent) and The Infamous (Give Up the Goods, Survival of the Fittest). You could even argue for me from these 2 albums alone. Cool that you included some white label stuff that is def dop, but we all know what deserves to be top 50.

The closing line is a classic
