RATE THE BARS 🧐 EP #6: YOUR OLD DROOG & VOL. 3 JAY-Z

Rate the Bars Episode #6 features Your Old Droog from DJ Preservation’s “Correspondence” song, and Jay-Z from his 1999 song, “There’s Been A Murder”.

Your Old Droog “Correspondence w/ DJ Preservation” – 0:04 | RATE THE BARS!

Droog lyrics:

“Don’t think I’m hating/

My legacy never fading/

Got more classics than Puerto Rican women got sons named Aiden/

Or Jaden”/

★★ – ★★1/2: Unexceptional

Jay-Z “There’s Been A Murder” – 1:30 | RATE THE BARS!

Hov lyrics:

“My infatuation with autos led to autos gettin’ sprayed/

Houses gettin’ broken in, quarters gettin’ trayed/

Bricks gettin’ chopped, mom’s pots gettin’ used/

One thrown in that water, try to soda it to two* (bring it back)/”

*Thank you for the lyric correction @Jiggs285 on Twitter!
