LargeUp TV: The Toppa Top 20 Weed Anthems, Pt. 2 (Hosted by Carlton Livingston)

April 20, 2013

Words by LargeUp Crew, Photo and Video by Jason Zucker—

Sure, hip-hop has The Chronic, “I Got 5 On It,” and Meth and Red’s entire catalog, but when it comes to weed-smoking anthems, reggae is king. With literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of reggae weed anthems to choose from, we selected some of our favorites and tapped the artist behind one of ‘em, Carlton “100 Weight of Collie Weed” Livingston, to run down the best of the best. Earlier this week, we rolled out numbers 20-11 in our first video. With 4/20 upon us, here’s the Toppa Top 10.

50 Kalonji: 50 Cent Samples Sizzla on “My Crown”

Last week, 50 Cent dropped the mixtape 5 (Murder By Numbers). It took us a few days to get around to listening to our fallen old favorite‘s latest release but when we finally did, we were in for a pleasant surprise: the album opens with the sound of Sizzla’s “Solid Like A Rock.” The triumphant, defiant Da Real Thing single is the basis for “My Crown,” the first and pretty much best song on the 10-song set. And it’s not the only reggae sample on Murder By Numbers, either. Interestingly, “Solid Like A Rock” was sampled in a very similar fashion by 50′s old ~~rival~~ whipping boy Ja Rule. Hmmmmm.

Sizzla sure likes telling women that they’re lovely. The latest single from Mr. Kalonji, “So Lovely,” is by our estimation his third song with a variation on that title/theme. There’s “She’s Loving,” from 2002′s Da Real Thing, which contains the chorus, “You’re so lovely I love you so-oh” and is often referred to as “You’re So Lovely,” and then you’ve got this “So Lovely” on 2009′s Waga Waga riddim.
