Homage To Pete Rock: Focus feat. Big Pooh / Sha Stimuli / Kurupt

by Kevin on March 5, 2009

Pete Rock

Sound with out Focus is just noise… in the third installment of Focus‘ Pay Homage series, the producer pays respect to the great Pete Rock. So far, this one is my fav out of the three. With Rapper Big Pooh, Sha Stimul, and Kurupt on the track…. damn! Focus is really doing his thing with this Homage series though. Grab the track after the cut…

    This joint is hot…..this is running neck to neck with the DJ Premier joint. I wonder if Focus is planning on a Dre joint. If he is watching please give RZA and Havoc some props.

    Kurupt murders this joint.

  • Phil N. Deblanc

    There are three of these?!? Damn which one was the first one. I know about this one and the homage to Primo. Kev I know about the sample sets, but what about doing a quick homage set since he has the series going already.

    Just putting it out there….

  • drewj

    YO FOCUS IS KILLIN’ IT RIGHT NOW. DUDE IS SHOWING THAT HE CAN DO ANYBODY’S STYLE AND RUN NECK AND NECK WITH ‘EM. I MAKE BEATS MYSELF AND THAT’S SOME HARD SHIT TO DO. DUDE GETS MAD RESPECT FROM ME. FOR REAL.

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Kevin

    focus is very good….

    next 2 on the list have to be RZA and Dr. Dre in my book….

    I wonder what his own style sounds like tho..

    @C-Villian

    Check Focus’s production on this joint….http://kevinnottingham.com/2008/09/16/fokis-focus-2020-ep/

    He is Dre’ish with that Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit sound.

  • http://kevinnottingham.com Kevin

    Yeah, I always figured Focus as a Dre protege, so these new beats are blowing my mind!

  • Brain

    yo, i agree that this beat is dope, im feelin everything Focus is doing, but i cant stop thinking of the y-society song “this advice” that used the same sample first. damu pretty much recreated the pete rock sound on travel at your own pace, which is still to date one of the most slept on albums of the past couple years.
