Ortiz tries his hand at discussing the debilitating circle that is drug abuse: As a down & out dealer’s progression to a forlorn addict. As I listen, all I’m sitting here thinking is “Hmm…interesting. He made a song about Jean.” My Aunt Jean, the former junkie, who I’ve alluded to & written on over the years.
Truth be told, Jean’s been sober for almost a year now. She’s gaining weight, skin got back some of it’s previously lost color & just last week, she got a new set of teeth. False teeth of course. Yes, all those years of smoking hot metal had been eroded her teeth & she was walking around all gums. Just talking too, like it didn’t even matter that she had nary a snaggling tooth in her mouth.
Since she’s been sober, she’s held a variety of piss poor paying jobs before finally landing one more stable, paid her PO & managed to get a bit of health care. So last week, she copped them porcelain dentures baby. She’s been sending pictures to everyone via her phone’s camera.
What’s even funnier is she had to call my dad to find out how to get them out at the end of the first day’s wear.
Anyways, this video features Mr. Probz on the hook. From the upcoming Pre Agent EP.

So much music glamorizes the co-caheena but few keep it funky. Ortiz is my nigga right now out the BK boro!
No Killa Cam yet?
I just watched this joint. This shit is hot son.
Whatever happened to that mixtape with him covering the classics?
Definitely some real ish..pretty dope..
I was under the impression that i couldnt be a bigger fan of Mr Ortiz than i already am…this song changed that.
This dude is what hip hop needs and has been missing since before he burst onto the scene.
I cant wait til i see that dripping faucet pic on TSS one day, hopefully soon.
I’m still waiting on that Covering The Classics too. I was actually thinking about yesterday.

You can always count on mr. Ortiz to deliver that clever/real hip-hop.
+offtopic:
True story, a couple years back somebody I use to run the streets with came home from a 5-7 year bid. He went straight to the block to see who was out there doing what, yea even before he checked out his peoples. Niggaz was still out there, but his man (his ACE!) was fuckin with that shit on the low. He aint know, but he knew that he only had a couple days to get high before the first month he had to see his p.o. So he told that nigga to roll up some bud so they can get high, & his man laced that shit with some rocks without telling. Now that nigga is back in jail for another 2-4 for violating his probation, possession, & robbery/extortion charges. First they put that nigga in rehab, before he can even start to serve his new sentence. It is a dirty game!!
God Bless ya aunt, my nig!! Make sure you tell her that she is that shit every day, holmes!
good post i too have close family struggling with addiction issues daily.
That shit seems to get a hold on females even stronger than on males, but either way it’s nice enough for people to throw their life away for. It’s a fucked up world.
@ Gotty – read that link about your auntie singing and all, don’t suppose you still have the mp3 of that Jerry Butler and Brenda Lee ‘ain’t understanding mellow’ that you could put up in the comments here?
This is the realness, what hip hop is about, forget all that silly 3AM stuff, this is real.
Anyone from the ghetto got friends or family that got out there bad.
So all you young cats who stay smoking weed, popping pills, sipping drank, remember, just like that you can go south.
Ortiz is the freshest thing out now, and the video is perfect.
Gook look from Joey…
hook is ill…who’s that Mr Probz dude? that dude from Holland that was on Mood Muzik 3?
That beat is sick!
real hiphop
