Music Review: Big Pimpin - Jay-Z ft. UGK

Speed: 69 bpm

Mix this one with: Day N Nite - Kid Cudi

The DJ’s Take: The video may be a little inappropriate for the youth, but this is one of Timbaland’s greatest beats ever. Around 2000, there was a mini-movement in hiphop towards Middle East influences (remember Oochie Wally?), and this track is like a historical landmark that people can still get down to.

fyi, Interesting youtube video on Timbaland’s liberal Middle Eastern sampling through the years.
