ah yeah a true exemplar of the form

thought this pharaohe monch line was the most brilliant lyric ever when i was 18:

"still get it poppin without artists and repertoire / cause monch is a monarch only minus the A&R"

I still think that's a dope line tbh

I live large, caviar and limos
Spent most of my time refusing bullshit demos
Can you understand, do you understand
Well let me explain I'm the A and R man
Dave Gossett. Yes I rock it
I rip the mike and I stuff pockets

Black Sheep - 'Pass The 40' has a pretty decent freestyle from their A&R man Dave Gossett (above) and a dodgier one from Chris Lighty who ended up managing most of the big NYC acts in the 00's
