As you may know, speed rap kingpin Twista will be dropping his mind-bogglingy fast flow at the Croc in a few short hours. You may also recall (if you're a level three hiphop nerd or higher) that in the mid-90's Twista briefly rolled with a crew called Do or Die, fellow Chicagoans with a similar penchant for triple-time rhymes. Though their breakout hit was "Po Pimp" off of 1996's Picture This, the finest Do or Die cut remains "Playa Like Me and You," from the same album.
The dusky, gorgeous production provides the perfect backdrop for some mellow, low-stakes tales of weed and expensive clothes, with the bed of chiming keys, subtle guitar licks and finger snaps swelling up all misty-eyed at the end, as guest vocalist Johnny P soulfully pleads to "smoke and ride" with him, baby. And who can say no, with a beat like this?

P.S. The sound quality on this clip's sort of garbage, but it's worth it for that sweet, sweet old-school rap video lovin'.
