Just becuz blasts from the past are fun!

Top Quality (along with all the other heads I bigup) demonstrates how my gen of rappers were masters of bars, delivery, and beat selection.

...and Top Quality was obscure...so much talent back then; you had to be genuinely nice to separate from the pack back in the day.

"I write like it's never the wrong time to right wrongs..."

Damn...Monch.

Even Masta Ace came off...jokes! Even though BDP was where I lived musically circa '89, the Juice Crew was an undeniable collection of talent.

The Fight Song. Props to Master Ace for sharing his diagnosis with Rap-heads. Keep fighting, Ace!

Dangerous. A lot of 'folk' my age were made to this song...if music were blood or ichor.

As much as I dig Floyd Henry's AMAZING covers, I'd be remiss if I didn't pay some respect to the immortal Iggy Pop! Iggy is my secret 'spirit animal'...a strutting, gyrating, sweating, lunatic on FULL TILT!
