90's

Back In The Ninety Now

The mother fucking 90's. Shit was stupid simple. Life required little to nothing. Skateboard, walkman (cassette jump offs) back pack, dime bag, visine, lighter, list of friend's phone numbers (pre cell phone shit)

That was life in 1996.

At least we can still listen to the sounds of the 90's.

Speaking Of Ginger Rappers

Here is one who can rap.

Someone send me a link to this shit.

Don't believe me?

Big L

I've had this for a while.

It's worth having, but I think they could of put a little more work on it. I say that only because if you are a 90's rap dork like myself you already had about half of these tracks.

But you should grab it anyways because we all know that mediocre Big L verses shit on these new jack's best verses any day of the week.

Return Of The Devil's Sonnnnnnnn

The Things People Will Do For Money

Gucci Mane and Talib on the same song.

Listen HERE

via Nah Right

Ha.

This is why I think it is so corny to talk that non-sense about "popular rappers are garbage" and "mcs with real lyrics need to take over" or whatever it is rap nerds argue about while taking bong hits in New Hampshire.

All rappers are equally corny save for Boosie, DMX, and a few others that are just untamable human beings. They are still corny, but also on some looney tunes shit.

What's even better is if you actually listen to the song Talib tries to sound all southern and talks a bit "harder" than normal.

Talib is a dickhead. Back in the day I really liked Blackstar and all that, but come to find out Talib as a person is a huge dickhead to work with. Also he is bald. Yup. Balder than that dude from The Shield.



Why you hating on dude so tough?

I mean dude has more going for him than I do. Dude has paper and I have to rant on this shiteous blog, but I do have a full head of hair. Go ahead and find me a picture of this dude NOT wearing a hat. Go ahead I'll wait...

Yeah.

So, I am not bald and I did not put out over 4 or 5 albums preaching about uplifting the black community and then go and hop on the Gucci band wagon just to get a Twitter bump.

Go ahead and get that money Talib. Ask your boy Common to get you some of those fly hats to wear while you preach the revolution to a bunch of suburbanites that live in freshman dorms.

Keith Murray

I used to fucks with Keith Murray hard back in the day.

I would steam up the bathroom with the shower to hide the doja smell and then I would come out "irie" and put Keith Murray on before going to school. I did that little routine all sophomore year. My first sophomore year that is. All my .9 GPA homies stand up!

KMD

I don't have to explain why 90's albums are my favorite.

They just are.

Bump this shit when you go do sprays and what have you.

Get it:
Link Bastards

Kon and Amir

Back in the day I was lucky enough to find one of the classic Kon and Amir mixtapes at my local music spot.

It blew me away how many samples these dudes were up on.

They had debunked all the classics, new stuff, radio hits, and all of them were presented in the original break and mixed together perfectly.

Remember mixing?

I do.

Anyways, they break down the Top 5o hip-hop samples of all time in this article.

There is some heat in there if you have time to listen to them all.

Kon and Amir 50 Greatest Samples

Casual

I used to really like this album back in the day.

Not sure how well it holds up now, but give it a go.

Durrrrr:
Caaaaaaaaaassuuuuuaaalll

Roc Marciano

I feel confident after one full listen that this album is the best thing that will come out this year. Not some flash in the pan business this is an instant classic. It is an album. A full complete album. Remember those?


Get it.....

Black Moon

I'm a retard.

I used to have a lot of these "Enta Da Stage" remixes that I had downloaded from fucking Napster back in the day and always just thought that I had found some b-side remixes.

Nope.

They were all released in 1996 on this album.

Oh well.

Grab this one for "Six Feet Deep" alone. That track could be the best Black Moon song you never heard.

Duck download:
The moon is looking black....

Rest In Peace GURU

Very few groups have ever made more than one classic album. Gang Starr managed to make 4. You can argue about which ones if you want. I only messed with the main four.

At any rate I think "Moment Of Truth" is probably the most fitting given the passing of GURU yesterday.

Thanks for all the great memories and shows.





Moment Of Truth

Bud Bundy Rap a.ka D' Lil

So no one seemed to care about the Danny Cooksey video I posted the other day.

You guys are fucking dickheads you know that? I hate doing this blog. It's like talking to my fucking self all the time.

Anyways, I went and out did myself this time. I stumbled across the holy grail of white guy nostalgia rap.

Bud Bundy a.k.a David Faustino a.k.a D' Lil

I never saw this until today.

I did see Brian Austin Green's wack ass shit back in the day, but Bud Bundy is sort of a bummer because I was down with all things Bundy.



Above: Brian Green's magnum opus "One Stop Carnival"

What does that even mean? Is there a two stop carnival further up the road? Are you trying to start a monopoly on single stop carnivals or something?

Moving on...

Watch the video at least until D' Lil spits this:

"I don't want no groupie hoochie that just wants my gravy"

Let em' have it D.

SDTW Asks?

Why did dude ever wife up and then proceed to get owned in court for the rest of his life by that thing?

Her tooth to gum ratio is so serious.

Guru Get Well

Sending this one out to the homie Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal.

Get well dude.

I loved Daily Operation and Hard To Earn, but I really enjoyed Moment Of Truth and this track exploded my brain when I first heard it.

SDTW Presents: Dunology

Dunology is a slang system where words beginning with "S" are replaced by the letter "D".

Son = Dun (spelled "dun" instead of "don" because the latter is already a word)
Solo = Dolo

And so on. As long as the word you are changing is not already a word it will fly as a dunism.

How to use dun in everyday life situations:

Example 1:

Dun: "Ay yo dun, where'd you put my Family Matters dvd?
Dun 2: "Dun, I already told you, that dun from around the way borrowed it dun."

Example 2:

Dun: "You want fries with that, dun?"

Example 3:

Dun: "Yo dun, hand me that bottle of Pepto right there, my diarrhea be actin' up like a mug."
Dun 2: "I got you dun."
Dun: "One hundid."

Try for yourself or try for delf.

Nah mean?

CNN War Report 2

After the success of Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 CNN has decided to try and push their luck by making War Report 2.

Is that possible?

Hell yeah.

Like I said Nore is one of the worst rappers of all time, but he manages to get gifted with wonderful beats from good producers and gets great rappers to guest on his records.

I have no idea who Iman Thug is or who the fuck Musoliny is either. Do you think Musoliny named himself that just to try and fit in with Capone and Norega? That's kind of dick riderish Musoliny. Just saying b.

Also why did Noreaga call himself Noreaga? He claims Iraq all the time and the real Noriega was from Panama I believe. So why not Hussein? Also Al Capone was dead by 1947. Noriega was 14 when in 1947. So those two never even kicked it.

I'm calling bullshit on this whole thing CNN.

Quasimoto "Bullyshit"

Quasimoto is clearly an acquired taste.

I've never seen this video before, but it has a lot of cool animation and graffiti homage cues.

Check it out preferably while huffing air duster.

Rest In Peace Big L

11 years ago today Big L was shot and killed near his home in Harlem, NY.

This clip is the often slept on part 2 of his famous freestyle on the Stretch and Bobbito Show.

And I quote:

"You got fucked up state/You cupcake/How many dicks can yo butt take?"

"I was fuckin chicks in the ass/when I was six and a half."

That shit is funny I don't care what anyone says.

Wu Tang St. Ides Commercial

The audio is not the best, but this is footage of the actual commercial.

It's funny what a paycheck will do.

The song is really good though.
