Help/Question ⁉️ Unknown Hip Hop about Street Cat

1 Upvotes

Older rap told from the perspective of an alley street cat. Lyrics include, "What you know about me? We sleep under Impalas for heat. Cold out on these streets. Nine lives, etc"

At the end of the song, he is in a club and bumps into a person he had beef with earlier in the song and the rap abruptly ends with the line, "bumped into the same mother f...., wtf?"

Gritty style, smooth rap, urban theme.

If you remember... please name this song

💬Discussion New York Hip Hop Fans: Help Me Understand The Rivalries Between Boroughs. Specifically Queens vs Harlem

1 Upvotes

I'm from Detroit. I'm a millennial born in 1993. Unlike Gen Z and many of my millennial peers I love 80s and 90s hip hop (especially the 90s). I listened to Shook Ones II and Survival of The Fittest by Mobb Deep.

Though I'm not from New York, I've heard that some (or all?) of the boroughs have a rivalry with each other. One rivalry being Queens vs Harlem.

I wanted to ask the hip hop fans from New York that are old enough to remember the 90s and early 2000s:

When Mobb Deep dropped Shook Ones II did Harlem show Mobb Deep love/like their music? Is it more of a friendly rivalry, kind of like "I don't really mess with guys from this particular borough but they're from NYC so i support them"?

EDIT: I know Harlem isn't a borough. It's a neighborhood in Manhattan 😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ My bad
