yeah, the underground rap scene is pretty solid right now. MPLS i guess has some cool shit going on. i've just never checked it out myself

Yeah, a guy I work with's been playing an album by...shit I can't think of who it is wright now, but they're from MPLS, and the tunes are great. Kind of a Pharcyde/J5 vibe. I'll think of it...four letters...something like "Golf"....

The single and B-side of LaDiDaDi / The Show by MC Ricky D (Slick Rick) and Doug E. Fresh.

 

Singles bring in a whole other level....some of my favorite hip hop songs were, to my knowledge, not originally on any LPs. Or at least any LPs that stood up to their singles.

 

"LaDiDaDi" is one of the greatest songs ever

"Roxanne Roxanne" by UTFO

"That's The Joint" by Funky 4 + 1

"Sally Walk" by Stetsasonic (may have been on an LP)

"Have A Nice Day" and "Roxanne's Revenge" by Roxanne Shante

Man, check the backpackin' in the Yo! clips. Seriously, that show was a staple of my life from High School through college, you can't get much better...EXCEPT for the Arsenio clip I found, which is fatter than Rerun. Another show that could be totally suckass, but had all the hard rock and rap artists that Carson and/or Letterman wouldn't have on. I think I need a tissue.

No doubt. Man, the music clips on that show were just as much of a reason to watch as the comedy bits. The Roots owned and Big Boi's performance of Rooster fucking smoked as well.

 

Didn't Kanye and Common perform on there? I couldn't find the clip, but I could've sworn they did.

While you're at it, can I have your YSI exchange mix from when we were partners? :ninja

 

Was this directed at me?

 

I always thought it was freestyled, but I'm pretty sure it's not. I'm not sure though.

 

It's not, I recently found that out.
