random old rap you are loving

on an alternate timeline, Spinna is part of the production team on Beats, Rhymes & Life and it's a 9/10. I do love that Basement Khemist record, but on the whole, wayyyy too many of his beats went to lackluster MCs. What coulda been!

this one is lovely too

yeah, some of spinna's old beat tapes from the 90s are on spotify. definitely in the right line. oddly the compositions albums aren't on streaming. some really dreamy samples on that stuff.

amazing, thx for sharing

i can promise you that i owned a copy of this cd. or i must have. i wrote on ilm about sheek louch releases in the early 2000s, so my record is not up for debate. there's no way that i didn't have this. no, i saw it countless times in pawn shops and discount racks and never picked it up. that must be what happened. thank goodness. i could still be swept away tonight by swizz beats plicking at the keyboard on "all for love." the rest, if i had heard it twenty years ago, might have been forgettable. this is random old rap i am loving.

along the same lines, i heard it on lox dipset verzuz which somehow, despite being intended for my demographic, until the youtube algorithm delivered me the repeat of the "who shot ya" freestyle had passed me by.

I love Tha LOX esp that era
