Rich Kidd Talks Brigante in Eye Weekly
On the recent third volume, alongside major Rich Kidd–produced singles like k-os’ “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman,” sick rhymes of his own (“breeze and sunset / roof open, breathe the ’sess, smoking ease and catching that release”), and “Undescribable,” a track by Billy Danze of M.O.P. and featuring none other than Busta Rhymes — we’ll be coming back to that — one particularly clever track stands out: Bishop Brigante’s “Lost My Money,” an odyssey about the highs and lows of gambling with more tension than a high noon standoff in a John Wayne movie.
“For that track, [Bishop] was just telling me, ‘I got a sick idea for this,’” he explains, chuckling slightly as he explains the MC’s tendency to take his time in the studio. “But when he played it for me, I was, like, this is an actual sick track. People are gonna feel it because ’nuff people lose they money at the poker table.” Online reactions to the song came swiftly. “People were like putting pictures of the World Poker Tournament thing on the internet, like, ‘yo, I’m losing my hand right now and I’m listening to this song!’”
