How Can You Hate The 808?! (47:02) (GD) (M)

Time's A Double-Edged Sword

Forty five minutes of hip hop and rap, featuring Beastie Boys, De La Soul and Run-D.M.C., some next gen artists with Antipop Consortium and Young Fathers, and some lyrical treats bridging Wales and Brooklyn as Green Gartside meets Mos Def, Lee Majors and A Tribe Called Quest's Ali Shaheed Muhammad. 

 

By sheer coincidence, I flip from a young mother to the Young Fathers, with Monie Love's exhortation to Build Relationships Where Education and Enlightenment Dominate followed by Edinburgh's finest who returned after a four year break in July with Geronimo.

 

The selection starts and ends in 1998, with cuts from Hello Nasty by Beastie Boys and Jurassic 5's self-titled debut, two much-loved albums in my collection. As you might expect, a parental advisory sticker is slapped over this selection due to occasional smut and cussing.

2) The Projects ('Ocean's Eleven' Album Edit): Handsome Boy Modeling School (1999)

3) Say No Go (New Kick Instrumental) (Remix By Pasemaster Mase): De La Soul (1989)

4) War: Outkast (2003)

5) Capricorn One: Antipop Consortium ft. Mr. Live (2009)

6) Born 2 B.R.E.E.D. (The Freedom Mix): Monie Love (1993)
