C/D : "No Flow for the Ho's" by Black Tea

Black Tea's amazing freestyle that revolutionized the rap game back in 2000!

I say it's a stone cold CLASSIC; how else can you explain the crazy word-of-mouth publicity that brought this jam pumping in sound systems all across the West Coast, and the unparalleled lyrical wordplay that has gone unrivaled since its release??

Genius. Where can I get the album?

Oddly, Black Tea was never heard from again.

Actually, does anyone have any information on Black Tea besides this song?

It's time
That I talk about the ho's
Over the rap, 'cos ho's these days
Ain't nothin' nice. Remember that phrase?
Nine out of ten get socked in the nose.
That's some true shit. They only
Come out for the money,
But Black Tea can't be played for no dummy.
I'm from the EPA streets. I got much game.
To them, it might sound the same.
But if there's a woman that will be there for you,
And not for the money, then maybe Black Tea will be there for you. [Huh?]
But until then, No Flow For The Ho's.

...(continued)
Chillin' at a club
Watchin' this ho spittin' game to a brother
I see it unfold 'cause I know the deal
You took her hand, and you are on the way
So she had a friend, with her, she asked if she could come
You didn't wanna be rude, so you said "OK," to them, to the movies
And then to a motel, you got butt naked, and fucked them both,
Until you fell asleep
The next day you woke up and they were gone
They took your money, you fuckin' dummy
That's why there's no flow for the ho's, I'm out (unintelligible)

one year passes...

This is definitely a classic.

Not sure why it's not more canonical on the internet.

Also, the other two tracks on the EP are just as good.
