K-SKILLS-PATIENCE & PERSISTENCE 2000
THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND 12" I'VE POSTED THAT HAS A RELEASE DATE FROM THE CURRENT CENTURY,THE BEGINNING OF WHICH IMO WAS 1/1/2000-NOT 1/1/2001,THE FIRST RECORD BEING "VERBAL LEVIATHON" BY BBR.K-SKILLS HAS ONE OTHER 12" THAT I'VE HEARD CALLED "FIRST CLASS" WHICH IS ALSO REALLY GREAT.IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE POSTED SOMETHING FROM THE LATE 90S/EARLY 00S (KUKU PRODS.,I THINK) BECAUSE I HONESTLY KINDA LOST MY TASTE FOR IT.THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF GOOD RECORDS TO BE FOUND FROM THAT ERA,THEY'RE JUST NOT THE THINGS THAT I'M PURSUING ACTIVELY THESE DAYS.THIS IS A NICE CHANGE OF PACE THOUGH,AFTER ALL THE ELECTRO I'VE POSTED RECENTLY...

M-D-L-T- WILLIS-WHAT'S YOUR GAME 1974
IT'S SO GODDAMN COLD IN NYC THIS YEAR.THIS MORNING THE TEMPERATURE WAS 6DEGREES.THERE'S A POEM BY ROBERT HAYDEN-I THINK IT'S HIM-IN WHICH HE WRITES ABOUT THE "AUSTERE AND LONELY OFFICES" OF RESPONSIBILITY AND HIS FATHER WAKING AT DAWN TO GO TO WORK IN THE "BLUEBLACK COLD".THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS THINK OF WHEN THIS SORT OF WEATHER COMES DOWN-IT'S FUCKING PAINFUL.I SWEAR I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW THIS TOWN GOT TO BE SO POPULAR,THE WEATHER SUCKS,IT COSTS ATHOUSAND DOLLARS A SQUARE FOOT TO LIVE IN A CUBICLE A HALF HOUR FROM ANY KNOWN TRANSPORTATION,AND NOBODY,AND I DO MEAN NOBODY, GIVES A RAT'S ASS ABOUT YOU,YOUR INTERESTS AND ESPECIALLY YOUR PROBLEMS.AND WITH ONE MORE WEEK BEFORE THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY IS UPON US MEANS THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE DEAD OF WINTER.IT'S A SMALL,GOOD THING TO HAVE A RECORD LIKE THIS ON DAYS LIKE THIS.THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING,I DON'T WANT TO GET CHEESY...AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH ENOUGH COMMON SENSE TO LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER PLACE WHERE YOU CAN WEAR A T-SHIRT AND SHORTS RIGHT NOW...

F.Y.E.- HYPE 1988
THIS 12" WAS TOTALLY UNKNOWN TO ME AT THIS TIME 2 DAYS AGO.IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT,PLEASE DROP ME A LINE...AS FOR THE RECORD-THE FIRST TRACK "HYPE" IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF DOPE LATE 80S BROOKLYN INDIE RAP,THE KIND OF WHICH I'M STILL AMAZED NEVER REACHED A BIGGER AUDIENCE.AND BY BIGGER AUDIENCE I MEAN 100-200 PEOPLE...GREAT RECORD,CHECK IT....

PRINCE B-ODE TO A FORGETFUL MIND (IT'S A SHAME) 1989
ALOT OF YOU PROBABLY HATE THIS RECORD AND IT'S CREATOR,PRINCE B,BEST KNOWN FOR BEING THE CHIEF PUSSY FROM PM DAWN.OF COURSE PM DAWN IS MOST FAMOUS FOR GETTING BUM-RUSHED OFF THE STAGE BY BDP DURING A SHOW IN 1992.WITH KRS-ONE LEADING THE BEATDOWN...I FORGET WHAT THE BEEF WAS BUT I THINK IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH PM DAWN BEING COMPLETE AND UTTER PUSSIES WHO HAD IT COMING FOR RUINING A PERFECTLY GOOD SPANDAU BALLET SAMPLE... AMONG OTHER THINGS.THAT'S ALL FINE AND GOOD BUT FELLAS,I'M HERE TO TELL YA THIS RECORD IS REALLY KINDA EXCELLENT.ONCE I GAVE IT A CHANCE I COULDN'T GET THAT MELODY OUT OF MY HEAD.IT'LL NEVER BE CONFUSED WITH 100 MILES AND RUNNIN' BUT FOR WHAT IT IS,IT'S A NICE CATCHY,POPPY RECORD.TRY IT,IT WON'T HURT YOU...

VA-PAY-HILL ALL STARS 1988
YESTERDAY I SAID THAT I WOULDN'T RATE ANY RECORDS HIGHER THAN THAT IZOD AND BIZZY BEE 12"...WELL,THIS ONE'S BETTER..NOT BY ALOT,BUT WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THEM SIDE BY SIDE I THINK THIS ONE MIGHT STAND UP A TINY BIT BETTER.THEY'RE BOTH SERIOUSLY INCREDIBLE RECORDS FROM A PLACE YOU COULD ARGUE WAS EVERY BIT AS GREAT AS THE NYC SCENE.ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO PUT A LIST TOGETHER COMPARING THE TWO...HERE IT IS-COMPLETE @256K...

IZOD & BIZZY BEE-I AIN'T TAKIN NO STUFF 1988
IN THE ANNALS OF LATE 1980'S INDY RAP THIS 12" IS A LEGEND.THE FERTILE GROUNDS OF PHILLY RAP PRODUCED CLASSIC RECORDS BY CLASSIC CREWS-THE TUFF CREW,POISON LADD SLR,TOO DEF CONNECTION,LEGION OF DOOM,PHILL MOST CHILL,DOMINATING MCS,AND LITERALLY COUNTLESS OTHERS-BUT NEVER ONE GREATER THAN THIS SLAB.I'D RANK SOME INDY 12"S ON AN EQUAL PLANE WITH THIS BUT NOT AHEAD OF-IT'S JUST SO TASTY,SO THICK.TO MAKE A LAME FOOD ANALOGY-IT'S A PORTERHOUSE FROM PETER LUGER'S.THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE ONES THAT YOU HAVE TO OWN REGARDLESS OF EXPENSE,ON THE SAME SHORTLIST AS THE BQ IN FULL EFFECT COMP AND THE SPORT G & MASTERMIND 12"S.A PERFECT RECORD...

VA-THE INTERNATIONAL RAPPERS 1991
NICE COMPILATION FROM KENTUCKY THAT SOUNDS ALOT OLDER THAN 1991.5 TRACKS ARE OMITTED BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT GET THEM TO SOUND RIGHT AFTER RECORDING AND RE-RECORDING FOR 3 HOURS.I'M NOT SURE THIS RECORD WAS EVER MASTERED.IN FACT,I'M NOT SURE IT WAS EVER MIXED OR EQ'D.AND IF IT WAS THEN THE ARTISTS ASSEMBLED HERE (EACH CREW SELF-PRODUCED) WERE REALLY NOT ON THE SAME PAGE TO SAY THE LEAST....

MC TONY RONE-THIS IS OUR GIFT 1986
THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD A HIP HOP RECORD AS ONE COULD HOPE FOR.I'M NOT SURE WHY-IT WAS NEVER PRESSED AS A 12",MAYBE-BUT THIS NEVER REACHED THE INSANE VALUE LEVEL THAT ALOT OF IT'S CONTEMPORARIES HAVE IN THE EBAY AGE.THAT'S NOT A BAD THING,BUT IF ONLY 200 OF THESE EXIST,I'M CURIOUS WHY IT'S STILL SO OVERLOOKED/NOT IN GREATER DEMAND.

BIZNESS PARTNERS-WECAN DO IT 1991
I'LL FORGIVE A RECORD ALOT IF IT COMES UP WITH A SAMPLE THAT HASN'T BEEN USED 100 TIMES BEFORE.I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS S.O.S. BAND SONG USED BEFORE (OR AFTER) BUT MAYBE SOMEBODY CAN SET ME STRAIGHT ON THAT COUNT.THE FLIP IS NICE TOO BUT IS CRYING OUT FOR A HOOK,OR A DECENT CHORUS OR SOMETHING.SOLID RECORD THOUGH,I LIKE IT...

KEYLO-SD-THE MASTER PLAN 1993
I GOTTA BE HONEST,I HAVEN'T REALLY MADE UP MY MIND ABOUT THIS RECORD.JODY IS A STRANGE LABEL,REALLY ALL OVER THE MAP IN TERMS OF GENRES AND QUALITY.THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT CERTAIN RECORDS-AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM-THAT I JUST CAN'T FIGURE OUT.NOT BECAUSE THEY'RE SO COMPLEX,BECAUSE THEY'RE...I DON'T KNOW...CHECK IT OUT,YOU MIGHT HATE IT...

AZ-WHAT'S GOING ON BLACK 1991 (SUGAR HILL)
THIS IS THE HARDER TO FIND SUGAR HILL RECORDS PRESS OF AZ' CLASSIC 12".THE 2ND TRACK ON THIS IS NOT ON THE RACKETEERING COPY AND IT'S WHAT MAKES THIS RECORD WORTH HAVING.

NITE DAYY & THE MONEY PRONE POSSE-MOVING UP 1989
I REALLY LOVE THIS RECORD,IT'S GOT AN EXCELLENT MICHAEL JACKSON SAMPLE AND IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST CREW NAMES I'VE EVER HEARD.I CAN IMAGINE PEOPLE ASKING MC NITE,"YO NITE,WHAT'S UP WITH YO' POSSE?"
"MY POSSE?!BOY,ARE THEY PRONE TO MONEY!!YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT THEY'RE SO PRONE."
ILLNESS FROM THE 80S MIAMI SCENE,A SCENE I DON'T KNOW AS WELL AS I'D LIKE TO...

KOLD GETTIN' BUSY-SERIOUS FUNK 1989
SERIOUSLY ILL AND UNDER-APPRECIATED 12" HERE-THERE ARE COPIES ON DISCOGS FOR AROUND $40-FROM L.A. OF ALL PLACES.I WOULD'VE NEVER GUESSED THIS WAS A CALI RECORD,UNLESS THAT'S A TYPO ON THE LABEL THAT SHOULD READ AREA CODE 212,NOT 213.I SHOULD'VE POSTED THIS A LONG TIME AGO BUT I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT.CHECK IT,IT'S DOPE...
