God bless YouTube part 69

Courtesy of Billy Jam's channel and taken from a local Bay Area TV documentary called Rap City Rhapsody, live footage of Too $hort plus an interview where he defends his right to say whatever he wants on his own records. $hort might have had the Shane McGowan teeth during this era, but he also had the supa dupa fly custom Life Is... Too $hort varsity jacket. I've said it before and I'll say it again, old NorCal rappers had the best clobber. Life is... too short to dress square.

Speaking of Billy Jam, there must be something in white mother's waters because all Rap fiend crackas have rocked the Billy Jam hairdoo at some point. Peep ya host Messy Mart circa 1989 probably listening to Run-D.M.C or Ice-T.

Scope the civilian wardrobe. I got my folks to buy me that Nike sweatshirt because it sorta looked like the blue sweatshirt Corey Haim wore in The Lost Boys. Pretty awkward... for a fashion victim.

Late pass!

C-Funk - Lime In Ya Coconut
(From Three Dimensional Ear Pleasure EP; 1995)


Billy Jam's YouTube channel stays bodying the Rap Internet. Sum shit I learned today: Cap'N Crunch from Rated X changed his name to C-Funk to go solo and released an EP on Paris' record label with a lead single which kinda sounds like Bone Thugs as written by Humpty Hump/produced by Shock G. Add a little Kokane style croonage and you've got some major choonage right here.

**EDIT** one of the unreleased bonus tracks on the EP's digital reissue is the best Digital Underground song never made by Digital Underground. Why why why did this shit not drop in 1995?
