Can't say this is a back to back classic, but the title track is worth the price of admission.

The artwork is the nuts. Krum is that dude.

J i m s t e r said:Come on. HMWYRS is not rap. The rule should be it was intentionally and obviously a rap rekkid. Like pr0n, it's hard to define accurately but you know it when you see it. Not wanting to debate semantics here, bu…

This has got to be a contender

YES, wondered when these vids would turn up on teh Strut radar. Been following these for a minute now, the enthusiasm shown in these vids is really infectious.

I rep the Traktor camp, but kinda wish I went Serato only because it's a pain in the ass rigging up the Traktor box when taking over from a DJ rocking Serato. I opted for Traktor Scratch Duo because it was the most affordable option at the time, and…

Dancehall and hip hop sat side by side in London since the mid eighties. As far as I can recall, Asher D & Daddy Freddy got the ball rolling on wax with Raggamuffin Hip Hop in 87, but first time I heard Bam Bam was on Sindecut's 'Can't Get Enoug…

mannybolone said:I hit up Joe "The Butcher" and he said, "I remember it as a replay." Wow, this leads me to wonder how much else on that album is re-played, and also why they felt they needed to on Real Estate as there was still quite a Wild W…

It's all gone pretty quiet on that front. I used to post regularly on the CK forums, but it started to get pretty tedious with the same topics going into general rotation. Morbid curiosity leads me to Future Producers on occassion but I make a hasty…

Egoflippin just put a big smile on my face!

She was also a presenter of kids music show Razzmatazz in the early 80's (see begining of video): As far as I recall, she was pretty firmly footed in the pop mainstream, despite having a great set of lungs. I remember hearing about …

this is my kind of old DJ:

Definitely too low on the list. This and Daily Operation are interchangeable to me. I did fell it was slightly compromised by the inclusion of DWYCK which already had classic (borderline played out) status at the point this dropped. I always liked t…

What's the Strut's definition of short? I met Jeru last year, and I don't recall being struck by his miniature stature, but I'm only 5'11". Guru did state that he was 5"8"on DWYCK, and I saw Chuck D and Prof Griff doing a meet and gre…

Rode hard for Black Moon (still do) but in all honesty I can't say I played the entire album start to finish on more than a couple of occasions. The pressing was mad quiet which didn't help the cause, although I did play the shit out of all the 12's…

I wish I could say my daughter (nearly 15) had cool as fuck music taste, but truth is, it totally sucks. Right now she rides hard for The Wanted and JLS, and is showing real signs of proper fandom (treks up to London to get a glimpse of them enterin…

What about that joint on UD's Taste The Secret that used Brian Bennet's 'Name of the Game', that surely qualifies. Oh yeah, just thought of this one too:

This is the only one that springs to my mind:

DIdn't Akai do something like this years ago but it didn't catch on?

That Smug dude is fresh! Where does he write? Looks like Bristol to me. Aroe from Brighton:

Damn, really sad to hear this. 'It's Just Begun' was the first original break record I ever hunted down back in 88. I also used to do a club night called 'Troglodyte' in honour of the dude. RIP.

Just thrown up an album on Bandcamp for what it's worth: www.stashsounds.com Here's a vid we shot for one of the songs:
