Again, these beats belong to classic songs from Hall of Fame MCs, and a host of other respected spitters have tried their hand at them since. That verse has quotables I still mutter to myself while brushing my teeth. But just as I was about to hit the Lou Ferrigno, the beat drops and Cole tries to double-time flow over it, and it just doesn’t work. “Golden Goose Freestyle”The toughest beat assignment of the four, in my opinion. (That verse would later be crystallized on wax as “Dear Summer” over a shimmering Just Blaze beat, but real heads know the “Can I Live Hot97 Freestyle” is its superior form.)
