Big Hus "I Don't Even Know" (Ion't Een No) 2004, CHI-TOWN PT. 1



First up is Big Hus with his single "I Don't Even Know" (or ION'T EEN NO in Chi-Town slang). This song reminds me of Juvenile's "Ha" song from the late-90's/ early 2000's but was made around 2004. It is catchy in the "say the title a hundred times" way that most of Cash Money's singles often are/were. I came across this CD when I met a guy I worked with on his first day and we got to talking about rap/hip-hop and he mentioned that his brother was a rapper. This claim "my brother raps" is something I come across often and although I am open minded about the substance of their songs, I often end up hating the results upon first listen. This song came out mildly professional sounding, down to the fake call-in show intro.

Overall, this is one of two songs on a burned CD that my co-worker Kevin gave to me for a listen. The unprofessional presentation is consistent with most every "rap cat" that I meet who works so hard to craft a song that they ill consider their presentation when handing out CD's (CDR with name scribbled in sharpie). I will post both songs for anyone's listen, but for all of the hand-to-hand CD's I have gotten, this one surprised me a bit with the clarity of sound, as I usually can hear the hiss of open-air bad recordings on a lot of these demo's.

Give me some feed back people!

Peace
