He never responded to me either. He sure read it though.

But yo.... Black Sun did tell me it was never pressed.

^^Yeah, I know. I don't believe him.

I seen it, I swear. But I guess he should know if his music was on vinyl.
I did say the label possibly had burgundy or black writing and I believe
the Nick Wiz Hydra Beats vinyl had red and black writing, so it could
have been that...

Yea, that beat is dope.

This kid was sending me rips of full shows last winter, but I haven't heard
back from him since the beginning of the spring.
Most of the shows don't have much mixing or scratching.
Just some blending here and there. We tried to make it how we
would've wanted it, so cats could tape off our show and have the full
songs.
We played mostly vinyl, some CDs, and some demos off cassettes.

Tony D got down with us towards the end of our show's life.
He was trying to get his own spot back on the radio.
It was fun times.

I got about 7 or 8 full 3-4 hour shows.
I got a lot of stuff to do after work, but I'll upload a show by the end of
the weekend.
Thanks for the interest.

It wasn't my show, per se. I co hosted and spun with a former friend.
Also, I gotta get a show up for weekdaywarrior, too, so I'll definitely
try to get that done over the weekend.

I remember being drunk and making fun of Prince Po's crackhead antics on your show. I wonder if that got recorded.

Verge · Post by **Verge** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 5:46 pm

I know I had EVERYthing from the shows taped.
Definitely lots of drinking, people getting made fun of, and all around good times.
I'm gonna try to get back at this kid with all the rips again.
Never know, he just might have that night.
He said he taped every single night and only missed one or two shows.

No doubt, man. They were amateurish in ways, but genuine.
Heads knew we were up there enjoying playing music that we loved.

Great shit Lyrical Gymnastics... I totally forgot about that Phenoms joint! I just dug it out the crates. And I love that Grand Puba joint "Hip Hop", but too bad it was only released on that "Underground Airplay: Volume IV" promo tape back in '95. That shit should have been pressed up as a promo 12" or something.

Yeah, that would be nice if a lot of those Echo joints were on vinyl.

I know there were at least two versions of Problemz - Never Before.

Does anyone know the song "Elements" by JUICE??? I remembered the song and looked on my "100% J.U.I.C.E." CD, but I checked through my collection and even on Discogs and can't seem to find any info about the song. I'm assuming it wasn't ever pressed up on vinyl? Anyone know anything?

GOD DAMN! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GRAND PUBA JOINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK THAT SHIT IS GREAT!!! I LOVE THIS FORUM!!!!!!!!!!

Verge · Post by **Verge** » Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:43 pm

That Puba shit IS great.

No, I don't remember that Juice track.
Ask Roy Johnson, he's a Chicago expert. Or kev beacham.

Yeah, man. I had the Blue tape with the Problemz joint.
Apparently they go for pretty expensive on ebay, nowadays.

What doesn't?

Verge · Post by **Verge** » Sat Nov 21, 2009 5:44 pm

Wait a second. Is that Juice joint the one I was talking about before?
Does it have singing on the hook?
A girl singing about 'real hip hop'?

S.DeEzY4O8 · Post by **S.DeEzY4O8** » Sat Nov 21, 2009 7:20 pm

Naw Verge...

The song you're talking about was mostly known from being on Sway & King Tech's BACK TO BASICS album in '05 (but originally on Juice's own "Tip Of The Iceburg" CD from '03). This here...

That joint "Elements (Remix)" produced by Panik is real nice though! I hope it's available somewhere. Better yet, I hope it was put on a 12" or somethin.
