I'll take that as a compliment, doll. I'd put up some Billie Holiday, but she wasn't exactly hip hop. Sugar Hill, furious5, melle mel, etc were dope, but I think this is more your style. Lovely.

This thread is missleading!
When you said Old School i thought you meant OLD SCHOOL (pre-1985).
What you're promoting is New School Gangsta Verite, baby!
Speaking of which, it was nice for a flashback...made me remember being hella drunk at Too $hort's "Retirement" Party back in '92. it also made me recall getting bluzzy with Spice 1 in his garage a mere couple of days after it had been shot up in a drive-by (he told this to me after i'd gotten faded and was unable to drive home!).
Anyway, where's the Cold Crush Brothers?
:)

yeah, the title said old school, but 85 (or 93) is pretty old school for me. The post also spoke about having fun. Ya'll need to get some funk going. Who cares who lives on the best coast or if Inglewood is tougher than Compton.
I'm just here for the groovy beats.
edit: one more for the goofy white kids
ok one more.

"You hung out with Shorty the Pimp and Spice motha fuckin' One?!"
yup.
have sipped Chardonnay and 40oz's with E-40, been bluzzed with Cypress Hill, got lost in a hotel after a session with Leaders of the New School, got my voice on a Gang Starr album (Moment of Truth...check the liner notes) after chilling with Primo during the "Know My Steez" video shoot.
got some more stories to tell, as well (watching Wing Chun and other kung fu flicks with RZA and GZA at a posh SF hotel during a rainstorm, eating collard greens with Chuck D., visiting Walgreens pharmacy with Pete Nice and DJ Richie Rich, playing Carrier with Del the Funky Homosapien...)
:)
if you wanna see my punk suburban ass interviewing Ice Cube, go here:
let it upload and then fast-forward to the 7:30 mark for my interview with Ice Cube (Cube also does the opening intro if you wanna see that, at the very beginning of the show).

Anybody ever hear of Lightnin' Rod? I can't stand hip hop, but Lightnin' Rod is a genius.

Afrika Bambaataa was at Garf's on tuesday... slow-ass night, way smaller turnout than I was hoping for. Is he just a dj or does he rap?
