Late pass! Michigan & Smiley's culture

And there was my uncultured arse thinkin' that the ultimate remake of Suzanne Vega's Tom's Diner is the Shock G remix of Dopefiend's Diner by 2Pac...

WRONG!

This Dancehall refreak by Michigan & Smiley of Nice Up The Dance fame takes the crown. Jah's greasy spoon uptown ranking which almost certainly woulda been banned from the jukebox in Tom's IRL diner if Kramer's racist arse was in the building.

Michigan & Smiley - Tom's Diner
(From Tom's Diner single/Gunman Riddim; 1990)

    Shock G is so underrated. One of my fav Shock G remixes https://youtu.be/1vw9GqiAOv8

    yeah I liked this one. And the typo on Youtube that has it as Tom's Dinner :)

    Other re-licks include this UKG version from '99 which was pretty big (although I was never too into it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBm9dZL7m1g

    and of course, the Ratpack's Searchin For My Rizla
