these have aged so well. redman in particular is so underrated bc of the nas-centricity of the convo

Is there another mc as fun as Redman, past or present? (not rhetorical. wondering if there's someone I've missed out on).

been going back to old raps all morning now and speaking of fun raps currently bumping Tha Alkaholiks

first two albums

yep good call

wtf no The Beatnuts - Street Level on spotify? have to dig that CD up when i get home

ahhhh this will work !

so good

man this is def my hip hop sweet spot and my main old-man gripe about modern stuff. there's gotta be someone coming with playful fun shit now right??

a lot of the beatnuts stuff is missing (or missing certain tracks) on streaming bc of sample clearance issues, same as w/ de la soul

as far as stuff in that redman/beatnuts vein today I really like the Chris Crack and Vic Spencer albums from this year & the year before, though they're maybe a little more vituperative (Redman) than the more brolic party rap beatnuts style

thanks deej, will check them out

deej otm and right on cue

#NewProfilePic because Redman is my idol and I’m keeping this picture up until he hears my music. Somebody has to help me make this happen. I don’t want to leave earth until it happens. I think he’d love my shit. #fan #idol #hardcore #legend pic.twitter.com/gImlBQgR8r

just came across this 12 inch, Musab - "Where My Mama Chill", he was one of the original Rhymesayers guy (known as Beyond) but I think it was kinda "off brand" for what they evolved into in terms of being more street than emo rap, works as Sab the Artist now and lives in Vegas I think...

I am pleased at the recent love and respect Redman has been getting from younger cats

So do you know where you're goin' to?

This one gets in my head all the time. Which I guess makes it not random cuz it's ingrained.

kinda interesting using two big east coast references (slick rick and tribe) on a west coast song then

good tune

that dude's outfit is unreal

that song was huge

carne your link is broken

romeo & juliet is a classic

such a memorable chorus

THis is what Carne posted

oh didn't realize i screwed that up . thanks deej

ras kass was so ill on this

Someone posted the phrase "bro down" and it made me think of Crucial Conflict - Showdown, which I perennially return to:

Going through my old CDs recently and fired up the I Got the Hookup soundtrack, had forgotten about this ugk track

King Tee - Black Togetha Again

he's such a legend imo

he's also wearing one of the all-time classic gold chain links in that video

this randomly popped into my head recently after being nearly erased, actually sounds better than I remember

MOOD - Info for the Streets

Yaggfu Front - Busted Loop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xq6yWtUuDI

that is awesome

haha had never seen the video. the yellow jeep with massive tower speakers attached to the sides >>

the post-hit squad/scenario type super hyper bugs bunny rap genre is one of my favs

I listened to fila fresh crew and gucci crew II today.

god i love this song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX481mDqXTo

p good!
never even heard of it before

he's like X-Clan's little brother or something

I guess he's from Cincinnati! which is weird how few rappers have ever been from there, Hi-Tek the producer for Talib is the only person of note I can think of

https://www.citybeat.com/home/article/13028185/cover-story-the-life-jibri-built

huh, interesting! all wiki turned up was the MC Breed connection

Hi_Tek had a group in Cincinnati called Mood who released a decent LP in '97. RJD2's crew, MHZ, spawned Camu Tao and Copywrite. Though that's Columbus.

Justin Warfield - K Sera Sera. Underrated '93 jam produced by Prince Paul.

sweet 2 picks, hadnt either of these from the revive

I remember really loving that Justin Warfield album at the time and being totally baffled that it was slept on since, after all, Prince Paul produced it (lol)
