Those Were The Days

The first rap song ever to attempt to make playing Knock Down Ginger round Wembley while being chased by the estate pit-bull sound like riding a bitch-ass pimpmobile around South Central in a heatwave. ‘Those Were The Days’ finds The S-O-Veeee sucking on some deeply gangsta gin’n’juice vibes despite the fact that the closest she’s ever been to living the Snoop is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Da bling, in this case however, is indeed quite da fing.
