In 1995, Gangsta Pat out of Memphis, TN dropped one of the dopest 90’s rap tracks to ever come out with “I Wanna Smoke”. He produced the track. The samples are fire. The flow and cadence on the verses are next level. The chorus? Fire. But deciding to take the 1st verse and just run it back as the 3rd verse? That’s flexing on so many levels. Gangsta Pat paved the way for many Memphis rappers today to be where they’re at now. Along with Three 6 Mafia, 8Ball & MJG, Tommy Wright III, and more out of Tennessee in the early/mid 90’s, Gangsta Pat was was a major part Memphis Rap scene in the 90’s that’s treasured by rap listeners of all ages.
