In thinking about my previous CD posting, and the comments that follow, I made a decision to make another CD. Where as the previous was a list of the songs I think anyone listening to rap for the first time should get under their belt at some point in time, these are the songs that I listened to when I was first listening to rap. These are songs that lured me away from M.C. Hammer, Tone Loc, and Vanilla ICE when I was in middle school, and keep me from buying into the MTV brand of Hip Hop that dominates the conglomerate hiphop/pop stations across this country.
I don't have time for commentary on these or else my choices might make more sense.
Top Billin - Audio Two
So Whatcha Sayin' - EPMD
Children's Story - Slick Rick
Check Yo Self (Featuring Das EFX) - Ice Cube
You Cant Stop the Prophet - Jeru tha Damaja
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F' Wit - Wu-Tang Clan
The Lesson Pt. 1 - The Roots
Biggie Smalls- Dreams - Biggie Smalls
New York State of Mind - Nas
Resurrection - Common
93 'Til Infinity - Souls of Mischief
Can't Wait - Redman
What's Next - Leaders of the New School
Soul Flower (Remix) - The Pharcyde
A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour
Do You Want More?!!!??! - The Roots
Oh My God - A Tribe Called Quest
Wicked - Ice Cube
Notorious BIG - Road to Riches (best unreleased ever)
Also after my last post someone asked "Hey Carl, How can I be a punk-ass bitch?" Well for all of you asking the same question its quite simple. Leave an anonymous comment that talks shit about me without basis, and if you want bonus punk-ass points, bring some random factor like race, age, or shoe size into it. If you don't want to be a punk-ass bitch, feel free comment with some of the songs that would have made your list, ask questions about the songs here, and just be a normal person otherwise.
Thank you, and Thank RobD for the title quote
