I think Milk was her cousin or something. Other than that, they were both part of the First Priority group along with Positive K, Alliance and a few others.

Positive K! Shit, I have the soundtrack to Egotrip's Big Book of Rap Lists and he shows up a few times. Good stuff.

yeah, he was the man. it's a shame he's only known for his novelty hit "i got a man"

oh shit, Shiv just killed me with the Audio Two! that shit used to rinsed at the skatepark DAILY.

damn.

Though I disagree with you on stuff like Edan and Doom, I will never claim you know nothing about rap again. You are, officially, my nugga!!

CHUBB ROCK! D-NICE! POISON CLAN!!
YEEEEEEEUUUHHH!!!

That Poison Clan album was so good.

Any of y'all know Success N Effect?

I just remember the line "GEORGE WALLACE!! You Racist ass son of a bitch, you know who bomber that fukin church and yet you didn't do shit! 4 Little girls lives were lost that day, and for that shit yo ass is gonna pay!"

then they had someo ther shit about pulling a drive by on Lester Maddox.

Das EFX?

Any love out there for The Nonce?

"Overcoming hurdles like Edwin Moses." -- Diamond D.

Even fliggity flickin the tongue just like diggity dung Das Efx...

Oh, and the lyric stuck in my head today is "1,2 unbuckle my, uhm, shoe hibbity whoo..."

Besides Scenario, We Want EFX is the joint that gets the club primed!

I guess we should thrown in the first Outkast, Beatnuts and Mantronix as well. Ooh, and Smif n Wessun's Dah Shinin'!

i never saw a room get so deflated when i through on "we want EFX" during a brief old school set. there was one dude buggin out and the rest of the people stopped dancing or just looked confused.

I was dissapointed.

but "Scenario" always gets the job done.

Start making killer mixes out of all these suggestions and YSI the fuck out of 'em. I need to be educated in the 'ol skool rap ways.

Really? Damn, I've only seen it work wonders. I guess it depends what you're there to see... I was at a De La/Biz show when the place went up for grabs. Older crowds get it.

the crowd i used to DJ for was mostly 21-28 year old (i would guess middle class?) blacks. they kept me on my toes for having the newest of the new and appreciated when i through in the occasional classic . . . but Das always bombed. I never understood why.

there are things i don't miss about DJ'ing.
but man, i really miss it.

What else got the crowd hyped? Pass the 40?, Live at the Barbecue?

I might take this on as a Dead Prezident's Day project.

almost every week i got a request of Freeway and Peatie Crack's "flipside"

but as far as old school people always got excited about anything by Biggie, but mostly "Juicy." "Scenario" always worked. A few pople would bug out for "The South Bronx" but only a few. Anything off "illmatic" would get the gruff dudes to give me an aproving nodd.

You'd get my vote.

I actually got interested in finding more about these old skool hip hoppers from that VH1 special I saw couple months back. There were all these old time-y acts being honored and each of them performed a song, it was quite good.

Well, the bulk of this thread isn't really about those guys. You're talking Busy Bee, MC Shan, Schooly D, Kool Moe Dee and that ilk. This is a little more recent... but still damn tasty.
