This looks like a proper return to the old skool. I think I’m in on this, gotta love the old breaks in those days and the beats are fresher than anything we hear today. Nice…
That’s getting bought right now.
I’m grabbing this!
Those were the great hazy days of major innovationS in Hip-Hop (sigh).
I blame it hearing on ‘High Drama’ and Shawn J Period’s ‘Simplicity’, after that I was regularly dodging my landlord…the rent was spent on a truckload of vinyl or CDs!
The mainstream’s overdone musical gimmicks and contrived artist image(take a look around today and see MCs mugging for camera/still dressed like it’s 1996/reciting formulaic /A-B-C simple lyrics) makes me wanna break something.
Indy tracks in the late 90’s / early 2000’s didn’t need a video – they simply needed to be dope.
I hope we’re re-entering a time like that again, hopefully even better and longer…
