Baby Sham - The Best of Baby Sham Mixtape



For all of us that dearly miss the super group Flipmode Squad, that was comprised of Rah Digga, Rampage, Lord Have Mercy, Roc Marciano, Serious, Spliff Star, Baby Sham and led by our then dreadlocked hip-hop hero Busta Rhymes here's something that should help you through your tough times. It was the late 90's. Busta had already experienced a heavy amount of solo success and had begun ushering his crew more toward the spotlight and tried developing them all into being more acceptable toward the mainstream. By Busta's direction or maybe an outside force the collection of polished and decent emcees began a deconstruction process. Before you knew it Rampage was out of the picture, Roc Marciano, Serious and Lord Have Mercy left the group, Digga was tryin to break into Hollywood and the young, promising, prospect known as Baby Sham was never really given an equal opportunity as the rest of his peers to show what he could do. For everyone like me that was a fan of the young man's wordplay here is something to smile about. The good DJ Sylent has decided to throw together an official "Best Of" mixtape for Sham, cementing what I had known for years; that he was a special talent that due to the cut throat nature of the business got the cold shoulder right when he was primed to make big things happen.

It might seem like I'm just hyping Sham up, but in all honesty I felt he was a more than worthy lyricist and a nice compliment to the Flipmode picture. A lil' bit more than a mixtape rapper and a lil' bit less than a great lyricist and song writer. He routinely found a way to stand out amongst his highly capable crew and had a tremendous flow. Mainly remembered for his dynamite verse off "Cha Cha Cha" (and his matador outfit he wore in the video, lol) Sham was considered one to watch from the jump. The youngster from Queensbridge with the distinct New York accent has done a little bit of growing up since the days of Flipmode's only decent group album "the Imperial". Sham has survived the dismantling of his once dominant team and managed to work his way up from a qualified 6th man, to a starting position. Sham is now one of the general's in the Flipmode army and has earned his keep quietly. While he's been busy many have slept, but just in case you aren't a huge mixtape connoisseur and your not on the net much, here's a new mixtape from Sham that contains everything duke has been working on. A nice mix of Sham's finest moments and some joints that prolly snuck by you at some point, this is sure to get you reminiscing about those good ole' days and what could have been had the original Flipmode Squad stayed intact.
