Nice openers S.
Hoomba Hoomba is a big fave. Oceanlab very nice indeed. That Suede LP really reminds me of my sis :) It was a big album when we were at school.
I never really intended to do this - having sung the virtues of variety on several occasions - but one of the below came on in the car on my way home whilst I had my 'options' playlist on random..... memories just came flooding back from early teen years, got home and spent the first half an hour searching out the other tracks it reminded me of....it's probably an old summer holiday tape I made or something!
My last pure hip-hop/rap selection didn't go down well - but persistance will prevail!!
It's early/mid 90's and it's the Westcoast US rap game in full effect. Thought I'd get these in whilst the sun's still out. I hope a couple are new to you and that you enjoy at least one.
Da Lench Mob - Chocolate City
Ice Cube's little side project - it never took off, but I lapped up anything by him as a nipper - bought the LP and caned it. This is streets ahead the rest of the LP.
MC Eiht - Compton Bomb
I loved this LP - all 'gangsta' bravado ...bullshit really but again, lapped it up as a kid.
Ice Cube - You Know How We Do It
He got criticised for toning down his political stuff (which I also loved but didn't understand as a teenager) - this is just pure unadulterated feel good funk laden bass - no agenda and that works just as well as Death Certificate material in my opinion.
(Listen out - he name drops both Eiht and his other crew)
Domino - Sweet Potato Pie
:) this is the one that made everything come back. Forgotten I'd found it and put it on my options list (which is why I have to do the shuffle option every so often!). More storytelling, bragging over summertime beats.
Snoop Dogg & Dre - Nuthin' But A G Thang
Classic. Shouldn't think this needs an intro.
