Rare Artist Series: Ras Kass - Heatwave




















Ras has always been plagued by bad production.  Throughout the years there have been songs like "Rassassination", "Golden Child", "H20", etc. that have been anthems to me in some way.  This song right here blows them all away.  Lyrically he is not at the top of his game but he does drop some clever lines in between some questionable ones.  Anyhow - the flow and intensity matches the beat perfectly.  Solid.

Time Space Demo Intro (8 Track Remastered)




















The original intro for the "Time-Space Continuum" that was put together when the only emcees were Aya, E.N.S., Claw and Moosie Moe.  This was before they met up with Kwote, Cise and Optiskept and also got Analytical to come out of retirement.

Rare Artist Series: Ganksta Nip & Geto Boys - Action Speaks Louder Than Words




















Great song from the South Park Pycho.  I was a huge Rap-A-Lot fan back in the day.  The Terrorists, DMG, Geto Boys, etc.  While Nip's subject matter grew too grim for my taste over the years I still revisit this song which features the Ghetto Boys.  I love Willie D's line "I grab your grandma by her weave hair/ And beat her old ass with that wooden leg she wear!".  Classic.  And the beat is dope too.

Insatiable (I Can't Help Myself)















A real funky cut off of Kwote's album "Today's Scriptures".  Another ode to love as only Kwote Scriptures could deliver.  Superb.

Rare Artist Series: Ween - Exactly Where I'm At




















Let's begin with the past in front.  I love, love, love this song.  Possibly one of my favorites by the crazy duo Ween.  I guess you either get them or you don't.  Incredibly talented guys who can cross musical genres at a moments notice and do it well.

Universal Sounds - Da Universe Neva Sleeps #5




Part #5 in a comic created by members of Universal Sounds back in 1995.

Rare Artist Series: Quentin Tarantino - Truth or Fiction (Promo)
















This was a promo only release I got back in the day.  It covers music from a few of his early movies but what I like most is how he waxes poetic about making mix tapes and putting together a soundtrack.

Rare Artist Series: The Coup - Pimps (Free Stylin' at the Fortune 500 Club)














Great song from the group The Coup.  The song that precedes this song on the album was "Fat Cats and Bigga Fish" which set up the tone of the proceedings to follow.  The video was just as great as the concept of both of the songs.

Part #3 in a comic created by members of Universal Sounds back in 1995.

Big Up To Myself (Live @ The Pub)

















The self centered song when the group was known as One Cause Many Minds or was it One Mind Many Causes?  Ha ha ha.

Rare Artist Series: Celph Titled - The Gatalog




















The ill lyricist over mostly dope production.  A four CD set but I just uploaded about half which I think were stand outs.  Peep and buy.
