Old School Sundays: Do Or Die 'Po Pimp' f/ Twista

One of Chicago hip hop's most influential groups, Do Or Die, deserves an Old School Sundays look, so why not bring back the video for arguably their biggest song "Po Pimp" f/ Twista. For one, the video illustrates some of the styles from nearly 15 years ago - the Cadillacs, the fashion, even the video direction. Just a trip to see because of that. But also many of our younger readers may not be familiar with Do Or Die and as you can tell upon first listen, they rhyme at a break-neck pace right alongside Twista. Even though the song's concept isn't my preferred taste, its verses and flows are straight up lethal and the chorus has that nice 'ride factor' to boot. Definitely a record that captures the mood of the summer that is oh so close. "Po Pimp" catapulted to #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time, proving just how national this single was at the time. So check up on this one whether it is your first listen or your thousandth. After all, you can always use that good refresher of some true Chicago hip hop. Enjoy!
