    AND, can anyone clear up the whole "random rap" tag for me?

    Sorry, but I'm pretty

    These days on eBay people seem to think that any private/small label hip-hop can be labeled random rap. My understanding of the term originally was pre-1990 non-electro sample-based hip-hop on small or private labels.

    Well, then these definently arent "random", with the exception of the
    OkeyDoke 12. Most of these are quite electro-centric.

    Ameer Stein is from Detroit.

    Also, I'd like to hear the electrocentric NO and Houston shit.

    Detroit, huh?
    The Ameer Stein was the only record in the stack
    I bought that wasn't specifically labled from TX or LA.

    As for the others, I'm just gonna slap em up on the
    bay with a $2 starting price and close my eyes tightly.

    I will be rippping mpfrees of them as I put them up,
    so I will PM ya with some snippets.

    ADDITION:
    RCU- S/T EP- 3 tracks/Inst. -RoeCityRecords, Monroe, LA(???)
    -Now this one sounds "random" enough, samples/808, 1989.
    Anyone?

    That RCU shit bangs you should put it on your turntable and enjoy it.

    You probably cannot sell it for a lot of money if that's what you're asking. $30 tops unless you catch an ebay madness moment.

    The RCU is a double.
    I definently enjoy it, and it has been
    in my crates for years.
    I was just asking who else knows/enjoys these
    records.
    I'm not looking for a cash cow.
