Generic list post: 2018 late pass! (thus far)

"Ten four! Ten four!
The Martorialist has been spotted dropping a list of legit jams™ he'd slept on until 2018!
Officer required! Please bring heat-resistant gear!"


We got De La Soul samples by The Outlaw Blues Band; 70's synth-pop by Squeeze before Jools Holland discovered his boogie woogie piano; L.A Chicano Punk by The Brat; various Bay Area shit by Mac Dre, Father Dom, Z-Man, Ghost8800, and Calvin T; an unreleased Pete Rock & C.L Smooth which saw the light of day in 2009; an early Devo song Jason Jessee used in a skate video; a killer single from Ice Cube's equivalent of Knoc'turnal & Kokane; a proper saucy sitar Grip Plyaz joint; an electro-boogie cover version of Steely Dan's Peg by Brian Ellis; Nigerian semi-Grime from DJ Consequence & YCEE which bodies the British stuff: and a 70th Street Carlos loosie from the biffin's bridge of 2017.

  3. De La used it better even though they didn't actually rap over it, imho.

  4. 70th Street Carlos is bizarrely slept on. Should be so much bigger than he is.
