Consequence ft. Q-Tip, Large Professor & Havoc - Fake I.D.
- Artist: Consequence
- Track: Fake I.D.
- Feat. Q-Tip, Large Professor, Havoc
- Producer: The Produce Section
- Album: Movies on Demand 2 Mixtape
I know what you're thinking: aren't Consequence and his cohorts a little old to need Fake I.D.s? While it has been a minute since the Queens vet had to enjoy his liquor illicitly, this new mixtape leak finds Cons addressing a topic slightly more pressing than booze: authenticity – specifically, the shameful lack of it in today's game. Over The Produce Section's appropriately retro, Chipmunk-sampled beat, the rapper takes us back to an era when realness was more than just a word. With the help of Mobb Deep heavyweight Havoc, the headliner gives modern-day wannabes a sound thrashing, exposing such common practices as fibbing about one's past, biting styles and hiring ghostwriters for what (he argues) they are: a betrayal of hip-hop's roots. Though some may be bummed to hear Q-Tip and Large Professor, two vets who could undoubtedly drop some knowledge on the subject, confined to the hook, the record should nonetheless leave old-school heads nodding in agreement. For more fresh (and certifiably real) tunes, check out Cons' long-awaited Movies on Demand 2 mixtape, due out “soon.”
