THROWBACK THURSDAY: "NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN" - THE BEASTIE BOYS

You simply can NOT truly love hip hop and now show love to The Beastie Boys. These dudes have been doing in FOREVER and I question the judgment of anyone who fails to acknowledge their contribution to hip hop. I'm not going to go IN and write up the history of The Beastie Boys right now...but those of you who are uninformed should def do your research. They're without a doubt more hip hop that your favorite current rapper. I'll put money on that...LOL

Enjoy.

The Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "INCARCERATED SCARFACES" - RAEKWON

I believe this goes without saying...but Wu-Tang birthed more legendary hip hop icons than any other movement of the 90's. Collectively, their discography holds endless classic singles AND albums. And no one has been able to come close to what they've done since.

I know I show Wu CRAZY love on this blog...but what can I say? You can't ignore the obvious. I'm a purist and these dudes are pure, raw hip hop ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

Raekwon's "Incarcerated Scarfaces" is just one of the MANY songs that hip hop heads will be rocking for YEARS.

I can't wait for OB4CL2 to drop!

Enjoy!!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON" - NWA

In my opinion, NWA was the ultimate West Coast super-group. Each member possessed talented that they could easily display on their own (solo). The music that they contributed to hip hop was ground breaking and broke down many barriers that todays hip hop artists have the luxury of avoiding.

Below is one of my favorite (and one of the MOST classic) NWA singles ...ENJOY.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "HELL BOUND" - THE ALMIGHTY RSO

I've show love to various groups / artists through the "Throwback Thursday" entries, but I can't say I support where I'm at (Boston) and not show love to The Almighty RSO (E-Devious aka Twice Thou, Orange Man, Tony Rhome, Ray Dog aka Benzino , DJ Deff Jeff and former member Rock who was killed in 1991.)

People can say whatever they wish...but The RSO will be always be considered Boston vets, on more than a music level.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "KEEP IT STREET" - CONCRETE CLICK

Concrete Click (consisting of KT aka Killa Tactics and DRAGGER aka The Dreaded) hailed from Boston and we're well known for their raw lyricism.

KT is still revered as one of Boston's most talented and unmatched emcces.

Keep it Street was on the groups "Lyrical Terrorism EP", released in 1995.


Joey Politics...I see you, my dude!!!

THROWBACK THURSDAY: "I GOT TO HAVE IT" - EDO G.

EDO G. is another vet and this song is a classic hip hop anthem. Deny it, I dare you.

EVERYBODY LOVES THE SUNSHINE...

Can't go wrong with a lil Roy Ayers. I hope the sun is shining brightly where ever you are.

Enjoy your Saturday!
