(lol remember when jlo jacked the beatnuts? that was... huh yeah, that happened)
stopped into the old bucksters just now and you'll never guess what was playing...
anyway—ya'll remember sporty thievz? they were dope! i think "no pigeons" was one of the last true "answer records" to gain any sort of traction. they were one of the groups that i always liked because they were basically picking up on the too $hort/snoop school of not givin a fuck "we don't luv dem hoez" rhyming and jeep beats. i was mostly into backpacker shit at the time, but always checked for them because these dudes could fucking rap circles around most folks. and you knew they were certified because when rawkus did the amadou diallo benfit album (not on streaming, grrrr), they were on it.
besides "no pigeons" i always thought it was funny that the thing they were most known for previously was... basically the same song with a different beat lol—https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdJzbH3nBtcsporty thievz — "cheapskate" (1997)
of course, they got cut short when marlon brando (not to be confused with the hollywood actor) died in a freak car accident. i remember reports at the time saying that he saw the car coming and was only in harm's way to get other people out of there. idk if he "saved someone's life" or whatever, but damn: twenty fucking two. respect.
