Re: Dump my music collection???

With the rise of the internet and mp3's I dumped 90% of my CD collection and all of my tapes in the early 00's. I regret getting rid of my tapes now but could give AF about the CD's being gone. I also have a pretty decent vinyl collection that I continue to add to and those records are staying with ...

^^^^^ Agreed! Solid release by Joey. Love this album. Been playing it almost non-stop since Thursday. Although I gotta admit I do like "Teach Me", understand your comment though about it not fitting the album. I am disappointed as well that the Pete Rock track, whatever it was, didn't make it on the...

Re: LL's "14 Shots the Dome" - Soo underrated!

This is a good album, bought the tape as I wasn't willing to fork over CD money for LL at the time. I think it fit in nicely with the other albums that dropped that Spring/Summer. My favorite LL album for sure. Played this and Blue Funk quite a bit to balance out my Onyx obsession. Funkadelic Relic ...

Re: Infinite of Ghetto Concept

Always liked his music. I found "One Day" on SoulSeek as recently as a year ago. Dope artist. Just not enough money to throw around in Canada at the time. Probably wouldn't been better off come out now in the DIY era, but I guess that goes for a large number of underground artists from that period. ...

Big thank you for this Shade. Aside from "Tight Team' I had never explored anything else from this guy. This Ski beat is lovely.

Re: Canadian Hip-Hop (Official Thread)

Lol. Damn this is a blast from the past. I remember him being all over MuchMusic back in the early 90's. I remember thinking 'Crates To Concrete" was a decent joint for a Canadian artist at the time. I've never heard anything beyond his video's so i'm gonna have to DL this just for fun.

Re: The Artifacts - Between A Rock And A Hard Place (Reissue

"Lower Da Boom" is easily in my top 5 of all-time most spins list. 18 years later I still play it 2-3 times in a row. Don't quite understand how the Remix of "It's Gettin Hot" lands on this, i'm not complaining, just doesn't make sense to me. Flawless album. I remember the day I grabbed this album I...

Would love to know if there is any hook-up for these as well. I've been looking for a bit myself. Ebay has a couple that I like, including the Redman one, but aside from that it's slim pickens on the internets. There are a few I would pay an arm and a leg for.
