"Bottomz a Gang" by Ghetto Souljahz

This track is from the Ghetto Souljahz album Graveyard Shift from 1996. The group includes Kazz, Lil' C, Mynd Ryte, and Syco, who handles the production. The album also features Havoc & Podeje (wonder if they'd heard of Mobb Deep) from the South Central Cartel. Hailing from Nashville, TN, the Ghetto Souljahz have ruthless and brutally violent rhymes. "Bottomz a Gang" is probably one of the most subdued songs on the album, and it's still mostly about murdering people and not giving a fuck about it. Many of their beats are G-Funk influenced, which is especially apparent on "Bottomz a Gang" with the sample of Ice Cube saying, "This is a gang, and I'm in it" from N.W.A.'s "Gangsta Gangsta." With that said, the beat still has a very Southern feel to it, reminiscient of Goodie Mob. Also worth noting is the inclusion of the synth line from the beginning of Roy Ayer's oft-sampled "Everybody Loves the Sunshine."
