ReplyDeleteStrong start of the year!
ReplyDeleteHonourable mention:
ReplyDeleteThe New Style - Scuffin' Those Knees
(The New Style AKA Naughty By Nature before they changed their name.)
Naughty by Nature & Digital Underground are two underrated groups that I feel “Old Heads” never talk about on Twitter.
ReplyDeletenice to see someone up on melle mel freestyle. there should also be a queen latifah song in here. all hail the queen is a low key classic
ReplyDeletealso missing some new jack swing rap like pump it hottie or wild wild west
Melle Mel's Free Style was the bizzirth of thizzatt stizzyle of rizzapping before E-40 or Snoop.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of Moe Dee's solo shit. Favourite New Rap Swing song of '89 would be Heavy D's Let It Flow.
Robert Davi should have played more central villians.
ReplyDeleteOr was the bizzirth by Frankie Smiths' Double Dutch Buss? "dizzouble dizzutch"
ReplyDeleteand while we're at it the Johnny Rap presents The Martorialists 80's Rap Parts 1-3 are still up.
