Did people ever play this in the clurb? not in '88, but I mean more recently, when the whole random thing took off. Or was it strictly limited to mixtapes and ebay sales?
I have a live recording of Edan djing at a club in Boston and he drops some more known stuff but also was playing stuff like Freestyle Professors and Blvd Mosse.
I'm tired of MLP talk taking up all my time. Record talk would be kewl...
Fuck the Random title. I just wanna know if anyone still likes shit like this. 88 is probably my fav year. I can remember hearing shit like this all the time on college radio.

Back then, it was really a radio thing. Or tapes of radio shows.
Hahaha, no doubt. And hell yeah, I still play that stuff out. I'm not in das clurb as much as I used to be, but still, when I am, I'm definitely gonna be throwing some of that stuff on.
Didn't know anyone else was really up on X Rated lynn.
What loop is that? Between the Sheets? I remember wishing that record was mixed a bit better. I found my copy in a BBoy Records sleeve. Was it distro'd by them ?

If yall are curious about what Gee and Jay's "Get Some" sounds like:
"Because I'm a Pro" is definitely that shit. busy boys and nyborn were from greensborough, nc and definitely sold plenty of records in the south. i used to find them in VA regularly.
Tuff Crew is still in my iPod. Both LPs. DJ 2Tuff was so ahead of the game back then...Pretty much like DJ Scratch. Supreme Nyborn used to be my fav party starter. The whole Next Plateau LP is dope. What about Lakim Shabazz?? Any client?? If my memory dont fail me, "Black Is Back" was out in 88...or was it 89. I don't remember. Too much weed...
So dope. I picked up a sealed copy of this on my very first flea market digging adventure about 12 years ago, so it's partly responsible for pulling me into the game. It's been in constant rotation lately too, because I just threw it on a mix.
"Treat you like the farmer went and did the potata/plant you now and dig you later"
I used to love playin this stuff when it first came out. A lot of the "random" stuff I didn't get or know about. But if you're talkin about tuff crew, 3xd, mc ez, sugarbear, all that stuff that red and marley played(well not all, just the stuff i could find) well then that was my thing. Now ask me if people were feelin it and that's a whole nother story... to me random rap is just another term for 2nd rate old hip hop shit.

until you here brainfood, pelon and BQ in Effect and you realize that you just straight up DIDNT GET TO HEAR THESE RECORDS CAUSE THE ARTISTS DIDN'T HAVE THE PAYOLA EAGLES, NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION, HAD SUN-PAR TALENT OR WERE STR8 DOO-DOO.

Maybe I should post something like this.

It's about half way in the mix.
Also, if i'm not mistaken, they went on to be Greyson and Jasun.
Damn really??? I did not know that.
I can post both X Rated Lynn & Got To Get Some. But not from work... L8r tonight maybe.
who played this shit when it came out?
"Because I'm a Pro" is definitely that shit. busy boys and nyborn were from greensborough, nc and definitely sold plenty of records in the south. i used to find them in VA regularly.
Well, I wasn't looking for the usual shit. Stuff that was off all the main 88 albums...

Lots of dudes I knew back then were playin' many of these back then. Really, you didn't hear Don't Scandalize Mine anywhere?
People aceept it relay quick, they dont know the tunes, but they know all the UBB originals, so the can accept a 808 under it and rap on top of it.
So my audience is consiting out of funk lovers, breakbeat lovers and so on.
