09 til Infinity (part 4)

TM88 ft. Sosojuicy & Strap Da Fool - I Want That
(From F.I.L.A 25 (Forever I Love Atlanta) album; 2025)


Hat tip to N-Sky Valley for this one. File this song under 'they don't make 'em like this anymore... except when they do.' Back to the Futuristic Swag era again with this battle-of-the-sexes song. I don't believe there were any battle-of-the-sexes songs in the original Futuristic Swag era, but there have been two killer jams since: I Want That here and This Or That by Mr. 2-17 & The Ratchets.

(From Know What I'm Sayin 2 mixtape; 2014)


Rock the jingle bells to all Martorialist readers. It's that time of the year to revisit Kurtis Blow performing Christmas Rappin' on British TV in January 1980 wearing a hideous 70s shirt & suit combo.

Dont mind me...

(It was irking me that this was an edited bolt-on to my 2023 late pass list so I decided to tidy house by giving it it's own post. By name I'm Messy Mart, but by nature I keep 'em clean tho like Lil' Fame. Me & this song are already in too deep together, and when I say in too deep I ain't talkin' about Sum 41's best single, boiiiiiiiii.)

Yohan popped up in my comments to skool me that there's a CDQ version of Jay Tee & Mac Dre's Do The Crew. Now THAT'S a magical Mac Dre manifestation for my ears. Proto Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None) freaky telly tales. Jonny Z, yous a fool for this one.

Jay Tee ft. Mac Dre - Do The Crew
(From Sig Tapes; 1990/Do The Crew single; 2018)


The Sig Tape joint I really want a CDQ version of is Ride To This by The MAC. Best song he ever recorded no IMHO necessary. Pretty sure a semi-CDQ version exists already because Khayree played a snippet of it during the This Is The MAC interlude thingy on Dre's Young Black Brotha compilation.
