Killa beez y’all
I only listen to Three 6 Mafia these days so my real answer is Juicy J, Crunchy Black and Gansta Boo. I don’t have a tongue ring or anything and can’t really explain why.
Can anyone explain why life or death is excluded from The End album on apple music? All I can think of the the couldn’t get sample clearance.
To be honest I’m surprised we’re allowed to access any of their music on streaming platforms.
Dammit, I forgot to special mention Chali 2na. And so did y’all.
J5 got mentioned above.
But yes, Chali the real deal.
Also really enjoyed his work with Ozomatli. They put on an amazing gig.

Beat street is a lesson too, because you can’t let the streets beat you
Killah Priest has put together the body of work that we hoped Jay Elec should have. I’m a big fan of them both…
I remember having that record as a tween. The gatefold or some poster inside had instructional photos of various break dance moves. Not sure how I never managed to damage my neck attempting a head spin.
Jeezy - classic street shit
UGK - pimp c’s smoothness with Bun B
8 Ball and MJG - just raw
Gucci - the 06-09 zone 6 shit when trapping in zone 6 was an era
Will Smith
then: Q-Tip

You can’t fault the work rate.
You know what, I just wanna say thanks for mentioning DMC, he was always my fav member of run DMC, anyhow I googled him as I kinds of remembered he’d had struggles along the way and wanted to see what he’s up to these days, long story short I discovered that he’s published a memoir… just bought a copy, it’s called Ten ways not to commit suicide, I’m really looking forward to reading about his life from his perspective…
Raising hell was like seriously one of my most played albums ever when it came out and for a long while afterwards and Peter Piper was like drugs to me at the age of fifteen, that Mardi gras break is still the shit to this day…
rip prince markie dee, the human beat box and the good friend who went with me to the concert, ( also to jeff mills and napalm death) thanks
