    admittedly not everyone's jam, but brooklyn academy's "blind fury" with "unusual jam". red vinyl. hot. one of those late 90s indies that i find myself returning to.

    Yeah, I don't think it makes the cut for this thread, but I'm glad you mentioned it. I thought I was the only one that bought this back when it came out! I doubt there's more than 1000 of these floating around, but it's some hot late 90s NY indie shit.

    been noticing a ton of old hip hop 12s turning up at used record stores and salvation armies lately. starting to things in the dollar bins that wouldn't have been there 4 or 5 years ago

    Yep - 80s/90s DJ collections are definitely getting unloaded these days, which is nice for filling in holes... but once a couple of them are around, the stores (here anyway) are basically flooded so it could be a while before they'll take another...

    On the Wreckshop's Greatest Hits 12", you get Fat Pat's Tops Drop, Fat Pat's Ghetto Dreamz, Big Moe's Mann, and the Wreckshop All-Stars Power Up...all certified Texas rap classics/club-bangers.

    Correction:

    Instead of Power Up, it's actually Big Moe's Barre Baby...even better!!!

    Ego Trippin may be my favorite single ever, because its basically an EP. At leat one of the "remixes" is basically a whole new song, and theres the track with Biz, and the cover is a dope old-school flyer tribute.

  • Funkdoobiest - Rock On[/b]

    3 different versions,.. ALL BUTTA!


  • I dont know if anybody mentioned Ultra's "poppa large" 12". I know the west coast mix is unlistenable but the east coast easily makes up for that and since its only available on that 12" I believe everybody should own it.

    Peace,

    woah woah woah.
    I love the west coast mix. It's a perfect silly beat that matches Keith's silliness.

    Im sorry but as classic as that song is, the West Coast Mix cant hold a candle to the BeatMinerz joint.
    Plus u never hear the WestCoast version anymore and never heard it when it dropped.

    I was gonna say, if you are playing at a spot I happen to be at and you play the OTHER mix of this record I will straight up leave and never patronize another one of your joints. Listen to and like whatever you want in the privacy of your own home but that is fucking criminal.
