    Oh, one other thing that deserves its own poast: To this day, Heatrocks for Katrina remains one of the most amazing things I've been a part of (and I even still have some of the records I won in those auctions). To see a fractious community immediately come together, get on the same page, and step up like that was  Huge props to everybody who made that happen.

    As a related note, the story of Sween sending his Stark Reality heatrock (wasn't that the origin of the term "Sween" meaning "a thousand dollars?") back to Matthew Africa's family after MA's passing is some of the realest shit ever.

    Well, damn. I'm clearly one of those guys who faded away a while back, but to say the 'Strut had an impact on my life would be understating it. The people I met (or maybe only e-met) here, the ridiculous amount of knowledge I got to soak up from the certified Big Dudes, the incredible stories, the legendary threads, and of course, the in-jokes and phenomenal graemlins that I still reference to this day...man. This community was a big part of a really exciting period of my life. Social media is some bullshit, but Teh Strut is

    fuck the previous dj...run the needle across whatever bullshit record he was playing..(that way you'll get the crowds attention)...grab the mic and say "YA'LL MUTHAFUCKAS READY FOR THE REAL SHIT SAY HOOOOO!!!!!" at this point drop a loop of Flash's theme by Queen on -8 pitch then lead the crowd in the call/response of your choice
    something like "when i say dj...yall say ... (insert dj name here) ...dj ... (name)... dj... (name) "

    then say "big shout to (fake celebrity who really isn't there) in the house..i see you dog...imma bout to do this....here we go "

    then transform scratch into whatever song you choose to play..

    YUSS.

    My fave Tribe LP. Front to back heat.

    Yuuuuuuuup.

    Also: I enjoy the sloppiness of "Check the Rhime," how the Grover Washington snares fall out of sync with the snares in the Minnie Riperton loop.
