F.T. – “Metal Thangz II” (Nature & Fat Joe) vs “Metal Thangz” (OC & Pharoah Monch) – IN HIP HOP WE TRUST
April 29, 2025

F.T. – “Metal Thangz II” (Nature & Fat Joe) vs “Metal Thangz” (OC & Pharoah Monch)

metal thangz 1 & 2 covers

FT from Street Smartz came out with Metal Thangz in 1996.  We cherished that joint for years, both for O.C.‘s and Pharoahe Monch’s collabo and for the promising newer artist FT, who’s bars were crazy, plus he had a co-sign from two already established giants. I still have the vinyl. All 3 verses on the original could get a hip hop quotable, in my opinion.

I don’t know about the new one yet, I just listened to it once and now I’m throwing it up here. I’ll let you all decide.

First up we got Nature & Fat Joe’s version. This is off FT’s newest mixtape “The BROOKLYN BEAST”
