Song: State To State (Pimp Remix)
Year: 1998
Album: State To State (Remixes) 12-Inch Single
Happy one-year anniversary of this blog. Hope you're looking forward to year 2. Here we have some of Chicago's finest. I've always considered No I.D. to be grown-man rap, especially when Common and Dug Infinite are on the track.
Artist: The Reepz
Song: Take The Train
Year: 1998
Album: U-N-I VS. ALL featuring the UNIVERSAL emcees
Universal Records put out U-N-I VS. ALL, clever. Does anyone remember an Emcee named Pirate? He brought the first verse here, was associated with Tracey Lee, sounded a little like Q-Tip and wore a patch over his left eye. The Reepz was his crew and the video for this song was amusing. It's too bad I never heard much more from Pirate, I'd like a solo album. This is a decent compilation, where else would you find Panama P.I., Canibus and Rakim together?
Artist: The Brothers Johnson
Song: Thunder Thumbs And Lightnin' Licks
Year: 1976
Album: Look Out For #1
This album cover rocks! The first time I heard this song, I was just casually listening and then the sample just hit me over the head when it dropped at 2:07.
