Love em. Only thing I got from them is their just kissed my baby 12" on Reprise. I need more of them, very fonky funk.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
That was awesome. Can't be topped. If it was CGI, that was some top professional sheet, coulda fooled me. Thanks for sharing that.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Right now, Metallica - Metallica (LP) I'm bumping some classic metal that I have heard a hundred times as a kid on CD. Now for the first time on heavy 180 gram wax. Makes it sound new again.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
Good call on all those, GMM. I forgot about Mantronix as a contender for this too, but it's definitely dope enough for that title. After some more additions on here (clearing throat) we should have enough to make a great poll, no doubt.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
In terms of the quality of the entire album (mostly dope, very little filler) what 1986 and prior Hip Hop album would you say is the best one to own as a certified classic? If we get enough responses on this, I could turn it into a poll, but for now just mention mentionables.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop

I just can't mentally picture you as a baby rockin an afro, Beatlover.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
QuoteDJBoomBap ...but, I don't have TT's anymore . Man, you keep saying that. You should just bite the bullet and get a pair of decks. Or at least one nice digital deck for your computer and soundsystem. You can get a decent USB portable turntable for under a 100 bucks nowadays.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop

I was reading in Ego Trip's "Rap Lists" a few days ago that this wasn't actually Biggie, but he didn't mention who it was. Good info P! That guy must have mixed emotions about that. Would you want your one claim to fame to be something like that? (In a bragging voice) "Yeah, see that baby on this cover in the wet diaper with an afro? Yeah, that was mby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
QuoteBulls point guard Derrick Rose is among 20 NBA players who will donate $1,000 for every point they score to a relief fund benefiting recovery from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan. Link to Story... Some of these players score a lot of average points per game, this could really add up. This'll make watching the game even more fun.by rchecka - General Discussion

QuoteGMM Jamse's complete x-mas works...a bit early (or late) That is such a weird record cover, even for him. QuoteBeatlover Late to the party but I am starting to like Kings Of Leon. I like Kings of Leon too. Haven't heard their latest album though.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Non Hip Hop
^Nice, P's on a PE kick. ... Last night... Bumped this twice... It's about damn time they had that dropped on proper wax. It's a nice 2LP heavy press. Heavy bass refreshes this album that I must have heard on CD-R 30 times already. Fat Beats finally woke up, said yeah this deserves a pressing, and better late then never. Anyone buying Hip Hop on wax: do not slby rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
^That bassline is so fat! Yeah I hear what you are saying about the sound quality, but good call posting it here, good listen.by rchecka - Crate Digging: Hip Hop
its the whole album, plus instrumentals, plus bonus songs all in a 45 boxset.
