The beginning of the end for the Pharcyde, the beginning of the beginning for Jay Dee.

The Pharcyde - Runnin' (Jay Dee extended mix)

Ruff And Stuff

Back on some west coast shit now.

The Lady Of Rage - Afro Puffs extended remix

Simplicity

Okay, so I spoke a little too soon about my west coast parade, but I really can't pass some of these classics up as I record them to digital format. Classic DJ Spinna production, awesome instrumentals for mid-90s turntablist juggle routines, nice rhymes. 'Nuff said.

Mr. Complex - Visualize

Just Riden

Sheesh, it's been a minute. Anyways, I'm gonna be on some west coast shit cause people here in NY are STILL hating, and just kinda boggles my mind. So without further ado:

Saafir - Battle Drill

¡FUEGO!

This was a great little sidewalk find. I didn't know anything about it, and there's not a lot of info on it online, but it passed the smell test and was well worth the $2. After a little poking around, come to find out our man Jimmy Sabater was one of the group of musicians that helped to bring latin music to light in the US, and has been called the 'father of salsa' by some. What we have here is a disco version of a song he originally did with Joe Cuba back in 1957. The vocals are kinda whatever, but god damn if this shit isn't hot.

Jimmy Sabater - To Be With You

After listening to this song a bunch of times this last week, I'm convinced that the reason Paula is so batshit crazy from time to time is because she's just a simple girl who needs some good loving in the heat of the night. And she STILL looks good.

Paula Abdul - (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me dub

Wednesday Remix Club #13

Trying to find a picture of Natural Resource is like trying to find a democratic presidential candidate in 2008. They only put out 2 records, and only one of the group really went on to do anything major - What What aka Jean Grae. But those two records were pretty slamming.
