The press photo included with this track is amazing in and of itself: a beaming, giddy Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire posing with a startled redhead in what can only be described as an Awkward Family Photos submission. MME has always been an odd one, and that’s the reason we love him: as we learned in his opus “The Last Huzzah,” his only gimmick is “going in.” And while he doesn’t attack “Now a Nigga Rappin” with quite as much gusto, it’s still a nice offering from the Brooklyn rapper. Over a sparse, panting beat, eXquire waxes poetic about Legos, Monopoly, and, of course, drinking multiple types of alcohol at once. We can almost hear him smiling as he spits his laid-back bars, and it makes us do the same.
