Jackin For Beats : Tony D in The Source (1992)

April 5, 2009

In the early 90’s Tony Depula was the man, with more hits than what you might think. Actually even more than he got credited for. He got ripped off on one of the most popular rap track of the 90s. The OPP case was exposed in the Source by Matty C in february 1992 .

June 12, 2008

Long story on the Freestyle Fellowship, Mad Kap, Pharcyde and the Good Life from Rap Sheet, july 1993. Sorry for the bad quality, but you know how cheap Rap Sheet paper was. Audio is quite recent, it’s Pharcyde’s leader Fatlip with Heavyweight MC (and unseen force behind this blog) T-Love from the Jazz Liberatorz album. T-Love new album is coming out in september, but we’ll talk about that later…

A Gangsta’s World View : Ice Cube in The Source (1990)

October 4, 2007

Ice Cube was on the cover of the 1990 summer issue of The Source, no interview inside but a strange analysis supporting Ice Cube’s chauvinistic stance.

To fully understand the last paragraph (“Why do my posse and I have fun shouting along with Ice Cube ? He caters to our fantasies in a world where we feel so powerless.”), you have to realize that the writer Dan Charnas is a white american male who, at that time, was a&r at Tommy Boy Profile..

Audio is Ice Cube, Sir Jinx and K-Dee first single.
