CLASSIC CUT VOL. 20

Can we all agree that DJ Premier is basically God? And check out Jeru's 'Crooklyn' Sweatshirt! Godamn that is cool.

JERU THE DAMAJA - COME CLEAN

CLASSIC CUT VOL. 19

For me personally, it gets no better than this. Grimey as fuck, cinematic, gangster, accessible, dark, fresh, PERFECT. Something about Ghost and Rae together is just magic. This song is 'top 5' material for me. Through and through, time and time again I will put this record on and listen to it front to back with a smile on my face. Raekwon perfected the whole storytelling record for the rap game, and sure enough Jay Z, Nas, and Biggie all followed suit but never really captured what Raekwon and Ghostface did on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx..

RAEKWON - CRIMINOLOGY

CLASSIC CUT VOL. 18

Mad Skillz or 'Skillz' never had a lucrative career as a rapper. In fact, this was his biggest single, and it was attatched to the complete and utter failure 'From where??' in '95. This was a bangin' single though, and Skillz deserves some shine. I mean, dude has been ghost writing for studio gangsters (P. Diddy, Mase, Jermaine Dupre, etc. etc.) since before his album flopped. Poor guy.
MAD SKILLZ - THE NOD FACTOR

The Alchemist ft. Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, and Pusha T.

JOHNSON AND JOHNSON - 'UP ALL NIGHT'

CLASSIC CUT VOL. 17

OBVZ

CLASSIC CUT. VOL. 16

KMD (Kausing Much Damage, or A Positive Kause in a Much Damaged Society) was a rap trio in the 90s. In 1994, while filming a video for their upcoming record Black Bastards (bad ass name, right???) DJ Subroc was hit and killed by a car while crossing the street. Subrocs brother (Zen Love X) was so distraught he left the rap game all together, only to re appear years later with a mask on under the alias MF DOOM. Ohh yeah, you know that guy, right? Anyways, KMD never made it too big, but they had a string of pretty bangin' singles and they all look fucking fresh like they all just got off the set of A Different World.

KMD - PEACH FUZZ

BILLY CORGAN AND THE WHAT WENT WRONGS

CLASSIC CUT VOL. 15 (MIDWEST EDITION)

Now that we've brought up the Midwest we need to watch this video. MC Breed was credited with being the first real breakout Rapper from the Midwest. Although Breed would go on to try and become apart of various west coast scenes (LA Funk, Bay Area Hyphy) he would never really crack commercial success 100%. Doesn't matter though, b/c when you forget your roots yr a phony and then you die...well almost.
MC BREED- AINT NO FUTURE IN YO FRONTIN'

T.I - WHATEVER YOU LIKE

I'm almost embaressed at how much I really truly like this song but fuck it.
