I Got A Rock

Happy Halloween, Blockheads!

Side One




Side 2

What a career these guys have had. I mean, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik to Speakerboxx/The Love Below. How many hip-hop groups have had an arc like that? This was from their obligatory comic book influenced album.


Outkast - Jazzy Belle (Swift C remix)

Life Begins At 30

WTF ever happened to these guys? I mean, they were kinda big for a hot minute; I remember hearing about their 'get out of jail' rally/party for dude that was in their group all the way out in Cali, and within a year after they dropped their album :poof: gone.


Cru - Bubblin'

You Know The Steez

While I love Gang Starr, this shirt, unfortunately, is from the album that I see as the beginning of the end for them. This album was somewhat hotly contested as alot of fans who had been with them from the beginning didn't like it too much, but the new-jacks who maybe had only been on board since Daily Operation or Hard 2 Earn were all up on it. There were a few choice jams, not the least of which is this non-album, b-side cut.

Gang Starr - So Wassup?!

Come And Get Some Of This

Oh man, it was so great to be a white guy into hip hop when these guys came out.

House Of Pain - Put Your Head Out

All Hail The Thief

Ironically enough, this was from George H.W. Bush's administration. My dude Tragedy had some prescience, no?

Intelligent Hoodlum - Arrest The President

America's Pastimes

Another tragic victim of label politics, these dudes had a flippin sweet debut album, that unfortunately sat on the shelves for a couple of years, and by the time it did drop, their sound had already been overdone. These guys were from Texas, and had a very Cypress Hills sound to them, and they could have done a lot better if this album had come out during the peak of that sound.

Mad Flava - I Like 2 Smoke Weed And Listen 2 Hip Hop
