Isn't it sad that hip-hop records now are so cluttered with producers these days? there's no cohesiveness...

Yeah, I thought as much.



Yo, Mark told me you stopped by his store. How is it? I still haven't made it up there to check it out. He told me some fucking C R A Z A Y stories of cracked out and insane people running up in there and acting a fool.

He said some dude came in and started telling everyone a joke and then bent over and spread his buttcheeks for no apparent reason.

Glad I didn't go on that day.



I guess you're gonna get that when you're in downtown LA. He had some raers last time I talked to him, though.

Premier- Moment of Truth

Premiers best beats ever! and..

Group Home - Livin Proof (Dj Premier)

Lootpack - Soundpieces: Da Antidote (Madlib)

9. A Tribe Called Quest-"Low End Theory".

CoSign(iwouldnt say WAAAYmore),but Low End Theory is the poeple's choice. LETheory was more "street"and minimal compared to the first joint.

yea i did visit that store one time. he did have some raers on the wall, but to be honest the location isn't very ideal for running a record shop. i wish him the best of luck though. oh and he seemed like a good dude.
