tha jimmy spicer is ridiculous. ive been looking for that too, without success.b,121b,121i heard that for the first time on one of delay's mixes on soulstrut. another banger from that mixm that is usually financially accessible is constant deviants "competition catch speed knots"...about as good as it gets IMO.b,121b,121theres a joint i heard on a stretch and bobito show in 94-95 that ive been trying to identify(again with no success)...people told me i could email stretch through his blog, but i forgot how to go about doing that. in the intro the mc's are saying "pure renaissance madness" (for a while i thoguht the group was called renaissance..but theres another 12 with the same name) and then in one of the verses, they say "landover...maryland". not much to go on, i could say more, but it might be offbase due to the time elapsed since i heard it. anyone have any ideas??? the shit was dope.b,121b,121more good 12s:b,121tony tone and moe crazy on blunt records
dang....which back to the lab? theres a couple randoms with that moniker and hefty price range. the one from carolina maybe? cause theres one from philly too. and both have been sold for over a g. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/oof.gif" alt="" 21 b,121b,121id like to hear the carolina joint
well i think "random rap" refers to the late 80ties/early nineties indie rap.. i cant listen to most of this stuff (beats are a bit on the too high side of bpms for me) but im always searchin for mid90ties indie joints..sadly i started too late in this genre so i had to pay fucktons of money many times..only to receive a record with the original 4.99$ price tag on itb,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/WHYMUSTICRY.gif" alt="" 21b,121b,121that sons of sam is really niceb,121i also like sick lunatix - if it aint rough b,121b,121czech it out hereb,121a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/1908314146f75d87/" target="_blank"1http://www.zshare.net/audio/1908314146f75d87//a1

font class="post"1b,121b,121I gave it a shout, Def Rhythm Productions. Compilation produced by Ski & Rhythm Fanatic who did the Payroll stuff earlier. 11 tracks, all face melters
thats a crazy genre never got too deep into it. record prices are too high and average records get overhyped just because they're obscure too often for my likes. here where im from i cant just dig through thrift-stores to find shit like that. but there is definitely some dope stuff out there. b,121b,121N-Tense - Raise the level of the boom is a good 12" b,121strange behaviour - speakers on the fritz 12" is another one that comes to my mind. but it wasn't all that. one aight song and one bad i think.b,121i like the people without shoes stuff that was nice chill hip hopb,121b,121a href="http://profile.myspace.com/recordinspector" target="_blank"1http://profile.myspace.com/recordinspector/a1b,121this is a friend of mine who releases mix cds every now and then with that stuff. i dont know if he still has some but you can ask him, they are really great
yeah i thought so. havent been on there forever. when vinylexchange got shot down it seemed everyone from there went to dwg. but i somehow didnt hang along there for much, ve was more fun.
