  • The man is poorly represented on youtube. Such a great unsung producer, though. I always thought he was a fun MC too. I threw on "We Love The Hotties" and some YZ yesterday in his honor. R.I.P.
  • one of my favorite Soul Train clips ever:
  • in the end, its up to the owners. What sucks, though, is that often what the owner, promoter, or whoever booked you wants is not what everyone else in the room or on the dancefloor wants.
  • This is a good introduction:
  • I have the 'You Got the Stuff' 12 with the long breakdown everything else is unnnecccescsarry The LP version pales in comparison. I must say that, at least on the underappreciated tip, I'm also partial to "All Because Of You" from the 'Bout Love …
  • Only one keeper today but its a long time white whale. Mint yellow-label promo too! (not the one pictured) Nice!
  • for me it's all about the LP verison of "everything she wants" A perfect entry for a thread about LP versions that are way better than the 12" version.
  • Nevermind the Tunnel...I need to hear this through a stadium sound system. So massive.
  • At least on a production level, I respect the dude immensely. He played a major part in developing and popularizing reel-to-reel tape recording. Also pioneered close-miking of vocals. I grew up listening to a handful of his audio books for childr…
  • The track to play on this record is Yup.
  • I remember how stoked I was about my first Design markers. The first couple drawings I did bled through two sheets of sketchbook paper, messing up the older drawings underneath. And,even with my door close and a window cracked, my sister used to c…
  • I never understood what was good about labtekwon. Have you peeped early 90s stuff like the Ghetto Gospel EP? Don't know what's not to like there. Dude had the tongue-twisting stamina of a Percee P, but with way more versatility, compelling conten…
  • ex-GF is a drugs counsellor. 95% of folks on the street are on heroin or worse. I don't know what your ex is telling you, but this statistic is wildly off-base, or at least rife with bias and lacking multiple key qualifiers. Is she talking about p…
  • Virgin sucked for many years. ha ha.
  • I was hoping this would be a list of Marilyn Manson's top ten songs he's feeling right now. I have no clue what he must listen to. Private press boner jamz like everyone else?
  • Worst - EPMD "You had to much to drink." So bad it's just bad. Seriously. How the F*ck did this ever happen, nevermind get released as a single? Has anyone ever gone on record with the story behind this one? There are so many good drug burno…
  • They were one of the first hip-hop bands to take up instruments
  • pretty sure this was a throwback, she had an OE on conan like 10 years ago maybe? Yeah, they definately did the OE and Taco Bell bit with her about 10 years ago. I didn't know, I haven't watched Conan in years. Me neither. This was probably one …

  • It's so hard to disentangle U2's music and production from their righteous bullshit, but in the rare instances I am able to come close to doing so I think they are amazing, and am kind of in awe of their sound.

  • Admittedly it's hard to put this quality to words, and maybe "universal" is not the best term for what I'm talking about, but it has something to do with the combination of more three-dimensional use of sonic space, exotic instrumentation, wildly…
  • In general, I think The Neptunes and Timbaland blew open the door for new rap sounds coming from anywhere, and the south was just the best positioned to rush through the door once it was opened. This couldn't be any less accurate. How so? Maybe …

  • BTW the song that should of convinced the East Coast was "HA" Juvenile! I don't think that would be too off the mark. I definately remember that one getting a lot of peoples' attention. In general, I think The Neptunes and Timbaland blew open …
  • Incidentally, if we use BET as the gauge, the South was at least on equal footing with, if not dominating, the East Coast by the mid to late 90s. I do remember rap city at the time being a somewhat even mix of like juvenile/outkast etc and pun/…

  • i recently picked that chet nichols up and was very happy to find it was excellent loner folk. he was a good songwriter. its also gotta be one of the scarcest kama sutras. Huh. I found that one earlier this year, gave it a listen, and thought it …
