What's The Reaction VLS..

The gem here is What's The Remix.

Enjoy if you don't have. One of those 90's joints that I jotted down back then on to my "Best of the 90's" mental rolodex. Whenever I decide to make my true best of the 90's mix, this song will be on there without a doubt.

Yeah, the remix was actually included on the "These Are My Unreleased Recordings" album he released a few years ago. Very cool to get the instrumentals though, thanks.

Dan Charnas with Rick Rubin over-seeing the whole shebang in an Exec Producer role...

Never knew Rubin exec-produced.

Kwest was always a pretty corny rapper, IMO.

Kwest was silly/ accessible, but not corny, never, well, not to me anyway, way too skilled on the mic to be a cornball

Rubin started Def American and had an Exec credit on alot of the releases, including Baby Got Back !

To be honest, this is about the only track of his that I really liked. I remember his album, but doubt I would ever listen to it again. 101 Things To Do was cool but overall he is just not my type of MC. But Whats The Remix was and is the jam.

^co-signed. There's very little reason this clown should be discussed in 2010. No-hit wonder/uninteresting footnote.

Don't known much about Kwest but this seems about right. Wasn't he supposed to be the next best thing when he dropped?

I don't really remember him being hailed as the next big thing Echo, but from what I remember he had a decent underground buzz. I still have his 1st album on CD but haven't listened to it in awhile.

One reason I remember him is because he used to hang up at this college radio show near where I live back in 94: 90.3 FM New York at CCNY. This was on DJ Mecca's show, Mecca from 88 HipHop/Kevin Keith & The Dirty Dozen 105.9. He was like a co host for awhile.

He seemed to have that Pharcyde type of, make fun of myself, comedic but ordinary guy image, you get a sense of that from his album cover and lyrical content. I thought he had enough lyrical talent and imagination to stand out on his own, I like the song where he uses a vocal sample from Pete Rock's Soul Brother #1, plus the song he did with Shabaam Sahdeeq, Enimem & DJ Spinna in the late 90's.
