Forgotten Hip Hop ["Jingle Jangle" by the Legion Ft. Dres of Black Sheep]
Posted by Mighty Flipside Esq. | Filed under Random Stuff, Tracks
The Legion was a group that only made noise with a couple of singles, a track called Legion Groove, and this gem “Jingle Jangle.” This song is special because it has one of the best verses from a general of the game back then, Dres of Black Sheep. (I honestly think this may be one of his best verses ever!) This is right around the time where Andres “Dres” Titus and William “Mista Lawnge” McLean (Black Sheep) were trying to shed their “Native Tongue” hippie-hop influence and get more hood by doing more appearances in the Keep it Real groups of that time. Dres says in the track “Bounce to This” From Show biz &A.G. “I’m from queens and I roll with Bronx n****s. “I guess he was talking about Showbiz and A.G. and this group, The Legion. Although the Legion was not known for their lyrical prowess or anything really, they had a couple of cool beats, and they were the last of the real New York golden era Hip Hop sound circa 1993.
