  • can't forget Fearless 4-It's Magic, one my all time favorites for sure!
  • this is my kind of world....some of these have already been metioned but here are some of my favs from '80-'87 with ill beats and rhymes: Trickeration-Western Gangster Town Ray Rock & KC-Incredible Ray b/w Freestyle (so hardcore!!) Ultimate III…
  • I like Hurby, but he tends to fall in that category of producers who make dope beats and throw some cheese on it. By that I mean that there are elements there to make it a classic and then all of a sudden...boom, cheesiest keyboard riff. I'll ride…
  • I wish these dudes had instramental versions of The Platform and Expansion Team. Sometimes they tend to babble a bit when it comes to the mic. there are instrumentals to "The Platform". I have the vinyl...
  • And here I was thinking this thread was about the Billy Paul song! me too, because I used to play that 45 like crazy and then filed it away...just pulled it back out this weekend!
  • That's another thing that stands out about the T.O.P., compared to other funk bands - they could write songs, not just vamps. I mean, nothing wrong with chants over vamps, like War, Mandrill and all the rest, but I kinda like the fact that Tower of…
  • Anyone got any funny stories of the dude? seems he was pretty notorious for being a nut. i saw that interview with him talking about the best way to stalk a girl Im a big Don fan, he is ill on the mic and beats. I meet him in '94 thru Kool Keith.…
  • No, All Natural is from Chicago. I put a couple volumes of the rare CD stuff. There was: Time Travel Vaults (1-2) that had rare stuff and exclusives from a bunch of New York artists and some West Coast and Midwest too. Then There was Shoebox Clas…
  • loose association at best. I worked promo for Select records when his record came out and then did stuff direct with his label as well. I remember I got him some promo dates in Chicago and addded to the bill for the Wu Tang concert at Operation Push…
  • yeah, I got mine cheap too. One like $3 and the other I "aquired"....
  • the Vanguard is the original in '84 w/two tracks + inst/dubs. The Hollywood Basic is just because they used that song on a soundtrack they did then, forgot which movie. I was lucky enough to scoop up doubles of the Spectrum City 12"...haven't seen i…
  • Plus, honestly being the "worst" group on Motown isn't all that bad really when you think about. They just had some amazing talent. So Diana Ross is better than Levi Stubbs?!? I can't think it thru completley right now so I don't know if they are …
  • i completely agree with "i can't help myself" and i cosign bernadette and standing in the shadows of motown, but i don't think i will ever get sick of reach out, baby i need your loving, and it's the same old song. i blame martin scorsese/deniro …
  • I just paid tribute to them on my radio show for my special on artists who only dropped on LP. I first heard/saw them on Video LP with Donnie Simpson (i'm pretty sure that is right). I bugged off the video to off n on which is what they were on prom…
  • i gained new respect for him after listening to the 20 minutre freestyle from big daddy kanes birthday (1990). not only was his verse the best, he basically dissed the man of the hour right to his face. you may be able to grab it at stretch armstron…
  • just put out the call, he'll come... You: "where my homies?" Ill: "..........chillin in the hood." Ill: "What's up dawg? NIce to know someone's thinking of me." already tried that, didn't work... this post was my last resort...
  • word. the hunt begins... thanx
  • I guess my next question would be, is it on it's own 12"? It's not on the regular "West Coast..." single right. I don't own it now but have owned it before and I don't remember that being on there...
  • that makes sense, he said it sounded like the same voice... thanx
  • this is a good one. Man, I can't even call it. I worked with so many talented cats that I thought had some much potential. Particularly the stuff I was doing in the early 90s. I can't narrow it down to one but to three: Black Man Zeke: He had some…
  • I believe that Jaz O was the inventor of the Triple rhyme style that Jay Z , Twista and many southern rappers have become famous for. Well, that is what the song "The Originators" is all about. There's definitely others who lay claim to it or coul…
  • sorry about the bad link, glad you were able to get it.
  • almost forgot here are those freestyles from '95: Big Jaz-D&D Freestyle #1 with Evil D (Halftime Inst) http://www.sendspace.com/file/wg1z69 Big Jaz-D&D Freestyle #2 with Evil D http://www.sendspace.com/file/ycci76 as an added bonus, here'…
  • Also, I would guess that Jay Z is trying to "find" that next "guy". All of these guys (jaz, sauce, etc..) are established in the game and I suppose he is just trying to find the "next" thing. I dont think that means abandon your team but this is pro…

  • Ok, once again this post brings me to this question. What the hell HAPPEND to the original crew of: Jaz O, Sauce Money, Tone Hooker, OC, and Jay Z? This honestly had to be one of the best crew of rappers of all time. Then Jay runs off and starts …
  • '95: Stone To The Bone (prod.. by showbiz) on the D&D Compilation "stone to the bone barrell to the marrow, these streets are narrow, full metal jacket's part of my apparel" I have his first LP, classic shit! on the D&D sampler there a…
  • Yeah, Jaz is a very skilled mc and pioneer who doesn't get his full recognition. Here's some tracks to check The Jaz-Pumpin ('89) [Word To The Jaz LP] The Jaz-To The Soul LP '90 (key tracks: To The Soul, The Originators w/ Jay Z, Doped Up, Abnormal…
  • I just uploaded this for someone else so I figured I'd throw it in here to. It's a link to the first C.P.O single. It has "Ballad Of A Menace" B/w Ren's Rhythm also include radio versions of both and a remix to "Ballad..." with a bonus verse.... …
