A classic rap track from 1997, "Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)" became Lord Tariq's & Peter Gunz's only hit, but it did go top ten. Despite this, I haven't heard it since it was popular, so it was fun to hear it again. From the opening trumpet flourish which was later heard nearly a decade later in the popular hit "Hips Don't Lie" to the rap over the "Black Cow" sample, "Déjà Vu (Uptown Baby)" is really quite a good track. I don't know that I'd be impressed with it were it released today, but for '97 it was quite solid before this stuff got played out in a major way.
The flip side, "Marmalade," is also a decent rap tune.
