I was mistaken about Bob havin a profile, I should've just said his shows are archived there from EVR. You can here a bunch of those shows at https://archive.org/search.php?query=bobbito&and[]=mediatype%3A%22audio%22 Here's dirtywaters selling some of his underground NYC radio cassette tapes. One of...

I think at this point Stretch & Bob should start their own version of archive.org, or if not just make their own account on that website for archiving their shows. I see Bobbito already has a profile on archive.org for his solo radio show. I was a spoiled kid because I lived within walking distance ...

I gotta admit I've developed a fear of listening to some of the vets nowadays and I sometimes go years before I check the album they dropped. For me it's been that way for about the past decade or so. I will check the iTunes preview of this album today just to see for myself what's going on.

You can catch a multitude of legends on The Producers Corner show, featured aside promising up-and-comers, Like the show featuring O.C. and Mic Geronimo with Reks and Blacastan. One of the great forms of entertainment that has evolved from this new virtual era we're in. https://www.youtube.com/chann...

I did a bulk-download of mp3s from an eBay seller of 70's Funk and Soul. Within many clips, I discovered the cartoonish piano sample you hear on "Flip Da Style" by Lord Finesse. I was excited when hearing it in my iTunes, this was a sound that I was always intrigued by for years. I don't have the na...

Bushwick Radio to hear the Pen Joints show by DJ Emskee of The Good People/Underground Railroad WFMU to hear Billy Jam's show, great interviewer who's been around since the late 80's and has legends on his show I listed to WKCR occasionally if PF Cuttin is on air 91.3 WVKR FM & Streaming Live @ www....

Here's a throwback re-release for ya: the 2009 comedy classic "Turn Up The Fuckin' Bass" A Tribute To The Comedy Of WKCR parts 1 and 2, now reissued on Audiomack. 10 hours of absolute foolishness.

What has Polo done this year? He produced a song on Eto's latest https://www.discogs.com/Eto-The-Beauty-Of-It/release/15339264 my favorite track is Metal Lords. Nice lineup of guests on the album. Eto is on that dark Griselda-type vibe too. Discogs is good for a quick look at what your favorite art...

It's a mirror of the culture. These are depressing times. And it coincides with the nostalgia for Wu and Mobb Deep. Yes I agree, and I've watched interviews where they show much love to Mobb Deep and express how the duo influenced their sound. I'm glad they found their lane and brought something ne...

Thanks for the list of suggestions. I will try to check out all of these throughout the rest of this year. Nowadays, my preferred way to consume new Hip Hop is either listening to a select few shows or my own search. As a blogger, I enjoy seeing what else I can find and present that isn't trendy eve...

https://soundcloud.com/koolade/follow-ft-el-da-sensei This one always reminds me of sunny days, and it's one of the latter vinyl purchases I made at the now-closed Fat Beats NYC store. For that reason, the song brings good memories in addition to being a dope song in general. Here are some re-recor...

I keep a playlist on my iPhone of those type of tunes, and I hail from NYC since '83. Here are some from the playlist, I hope these give you that sunny day vibe. A mix of the 80's, 90's and 2000's.

Had to bring this one back in rotation. Bobbito blowing a massive fart after Def Squad kicks a freestyle: https://audiomack.com/song/collectors-item/def-squad-freestyle If anybody has a copy of the comedy album Turn Up The Fuckin' Bass, please provide a download link. My hard drive failed recently a...

I feel like the podcast is more influential than the forum nowadays, and that's a good thing for PF to evolve in that way. The interviews and mixes have been a nice addition. In terms of actual discussion activity, I feel what others are saying about it lacking or moving elsewhere. There always come...

What do you think of this one TheBigSleep? The beat is laid back and jazzy in contrast to the MCs who are talking that talk about grimey streetlife.

The outlandish shit you'd see on album covers from the late 80's/early 90's. I love how much fun artists had on their covers.

The Party Posse's "Steppin In Doo-Doo" cover from '89 is hilarious.

"I'm sick & tired of mutha fuckaz tryin to sound like DAS EFX!" (c) Fat Joe. The overall hardcore vibe of the early 90's. Hearing the angst of the ghetto come through my speaker from MCs voices. Amazing scratch hooks, from EPMD to Gangstarr, Special Ed, L.L. Cool J etc. Too many people trying to imi...

Those mics up at WKCR FM probably stink 'til this day after the insanity that occured during Stretch & Bob's legendary run.

^^^ i loved uncontrolled substance.. did anyone else love that album?? Didn't love or hate it. To this day I feel it's just alright, especially when compared to the power of the other Wu albums of it's time. I was used to having my mind blown by Wu albums and this was one of the first I felt was un...

CWHpsbGgi_c Grabbin' ya nuts and kickin butts, the police strike the ghetto community once again in another addition to this wonderful Hip Hop thread..

Was checking out the Jaysaun album recently and came across this one. I think the whole album is solid and he's an underrated storyteller. My favorite song: "Don't Matter" feat. Reks & Edo. G.

Jay gets pursued by a SWAT team to conclude this song, and the ending is tragic.

To TheBigSleep, I hope you don't sleep on deez... Some more funky raps about jetting from the cops.

I look forward to revisiting this sub-genre, Phila Flava-style. The most I remember is Luke's Doo-Doo Brown video that had teen boys going ape-shit in my junior high school class. Also a guy named Half Pint who had a song called One Leg Up. ' It was hard listening to Miami Bass as a New Yorker, but ...

No one has mentioned 6 N The Morning Hope the Hip Hop police don't come & whup my black ass for this! yghoS7FH24Q some more street cinematics from The Wu.

That was a nice chat and yeah their album turned out great. Emskee is a cool humble dude like the rest of The Underground Railroad crew, as shown once again by this interview. One of the members of his crew used to live in my building and died a few years back. Emskee's own podcast is enjoyable, I'v...

^a smooth getaway by The Rebel INS!

I always thought Naughty by Nature's "Daddy Was A Street Corner" had one of the coolest police getaway skits in Hip Hop.

"Officer" by The Pharcyde

"Fast Money" by Big Pun

"Escape From The Killing Fields" by Ice-T

Sounds good. I'm glad he decided to bless us with some previously-unreleased material. It sounds like he was going hard toward proving his lyrical ability and departing from the comedic stuff he's known for. I used to live a block away from this college where he used to co-host a Hip Hop radio show....

nIQrbIT0yZs ^On the Jazz-Hip Hop Fusion tip, I really like this one. As I get older I like listening to the artists who collaborate with musicians and producers who are musically-inclined. Those types of artists who i played in 2018 are Akua Naru, Tall Black Guy, Tone Jonez, J-Zone, Potatohead Peop...
