(From M.I.A/Lock'D 12"; 1998)
Two things I never saw comin' when Missin' Linx's M.I.A was one of the hottest underground singles outta New York: that the song would have its thunder stolen by a Dr Dre comeback single, and that Missin' Linx would record a song with British producer Mark B which samples some incidental music from the Are You Being Served movie. Fair play to the late Mark B - he may have wasted a buncha nice beats on boring-arse British rappers, but Can't Be Stop is up there with M.I.A, Verbal Attack and What It Is as one of the best Missin' Linx jams.

ReplyDeleteThere was an EP recently of Smoked out Production era Missin Linx tracks remastered.
ReplyDeleteO rly?!
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting coincidence considering i finally checked out Al Tariq's God Connections yesterday
ReplyDeleteI feel like his flow improved from his Beatnuts days

ReplyDeleteYeah, hotbox mentioned that + the song with Cold187um in the comments of the Ballout post. I'm flabbergasted that there's a Kokane & Kool Rock Ski REAL HIP HOP song, and even more flabbergasted that Kool Rock Ski looks younger than Kokane
ReplyDeleteSacrilege but Tariq kinda ruins early beatnuts for me w that flow, he was way better later. That style aged like milk. Stone Crazy >>>> street level
ReplyDeleteProblemz is as gr8 a rap name as Black Attack is bad
That later Collab album w Tariq psycho Les n problemz is good man
Black Attack is a good name IMHO. Monikers that rhyme >>>>>>>>
ReplyDeleteSide note, Black Attack's 3rd 12" Rep Da R.I is underrated.
