We (SDTW and IMNOTATOY collectively) felt that the internet needed a collection of rap that is worthy of that durag caliber. We put together a collection of 90's rap gems that posses qualities worthy of the durag.
The end result is 18 tracks plus a little intro of cape flowing rap shit.
If your city or region did not make the cut don't trip because this is only Vol.1 plehbwoy.
No turntables were used or harmed in the making of this iTunes mix.
For those of you who did not grow up listening to Lynch my condolences.
I was your standard backpacker nerd growing up. Literally, I wore a backpack to most social events with the standard contents of: Bic lighter, a pack of Kools (wow), weed, glass piece, tape walkman, and the like.
I wasn't really having anything that didn't fit into the 90's hip-hop pantheon. I stayed with Pharcyde, Souls, Gravediggaz, Wu, Redman, Tribe, etc. When I started hanging with some kids from The Bay things changed sonically for me. All of a sudden I'm hearing dudes rapping over g-funk whistle style beats talking about eating dead baby guts, smoking "hella" weed, and getting stupid doo doo dum. A few dudes were even rapping from jail (well before that ever became vogue).
Anyways, my favorite album from the era was always "Season Of Da Siccness". It's a no brainer for must have Bay Area albums, but if you don't have it or haven't put it on in years I would suggest you do and start gettin locc 2 da brain cuz.
