Other notables: played Nef The Pharoah's Back Of The Class freestyle a buncha times; for some bizarre reason the biggest U.S Rap song in the U.K right now is Goated by Amani White & Denzel Curry.
Other stuff: Okay Player ran a great piece on how Above The Law #actually invented G-Funk; Party Sparty did a Desert Island Disc movie list which has inspired me to have a go at it too; the artist formerly known as Juiceboxxx did a great interview with the director behind the We Were Hyphy documentary and all I'd add is that Mac Dre's Hy Phy and Off Tha Rictor are the two songs on which the foundation for Hyphy was built.

Looking forward to that movie list. 👍
Difficult to whittle down to 40 innit?
The way I see it, if you you’re gonna spend what’s probably the rest of your days on a deserted island, it’s kind of easy choosing between Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) or Robocop (1987).
That trifecta of Valentine, Let There Be Light and Nothing Left To Lose has received heavy rotation in the past month.
Unrelated, saw Yayo wear this hoodie on Vlad and now I want to wear it once before hanging it in my closet to never take it out again: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1155429355/paid-in-full-friends-hoodie
Spart, natch. What's difficult is deciding whether I need 3 Christian Slater in my top 40 and whether I prefer The Thing to Escape From New York,
Yohan, gotta love Paid In Full inspired clobber. Also, nice to know that my fellow Brits are all up in your speakers.

�� Experienced both of those very same conundrums, too. Along with not being able to make room for Carry on Screaming.
Carry On Screaming will 100% be making my list. Standard once a year watch.
Nef getting in a groove again
There is only one "Bionix" album. There are two "Art Official Intelligence" albums. Cold 187um may well have invented G-Funk but first isn't necessarily best. Above The Law are boring as fook.
Might need to have a go at this movie list but already struggling with my John Woo, Kubrick and Lynch picks so maybe not. 😆
Bob, Hard Target and Blue Velvet FTW for Woo and Lynch IMO.
Anonymous, anyone who dislikes Above The Law has dodgy ears.
If you go back and listen to Dre's production on 'Let The Bass Go' & 'No One Can Do It Better' on D.O.C's debut album I always feel you can hear elements of that G-Funk sound. Not taking anything away from ATL, and the article about the use of 'G-Funk' by Pac but I think that kind of sound was always there in Dre's capacity, but that lower tempo BPM wasn't being given a lot of play by most heads back then.
On a related note Dre's remix for ATL's 'Untouchable' is one of the greatest beats ever made.
Great picture on that 12" too.
definitely not making anybody's top movies list BUT, in a deep depression last week i watched the truly stupid and pretty gross chevy chase movie "Nothing But Trouble"... only to feel dan akroyd's insufferable, proto-norbit, multiple-fatsuit-prothesis characters were all worth it when humpty hump and all of digital underground (including young 2pac) showed up AND performed a song :')
hope there's a "best rapper movie cameos" section on your list
I posted that very scene a couple of years back.
Will listen to De La Soul on streaming and report back what samples they changed or replayed
Saw Souls Of Mischief live last night and they did a good tribute to Dove over Potholes In My Lawn and T.R.O.Y.
ha i am not surprised you already knew!
RIP shock g forreal man he was so positive
i bet souls of mischief still rip it live... are they touring a new album anything? i have basically only listened to their first album. glad to hear they are beatjacking in old age
