"You Now in Tune to the Master Thought"

?uestlove dropped this freestyle on a playlist he had, and it bugged me out! Black Thought is a dope MC from one of the dopest crews in music, The Legendary Roots Crew. I've had the luck to see The Roots live twice, and if you haven't seen their live show, you're missing out on an amazing performance.

This is a rip from the Stretch & Bobbito show. I have no idea what year it is, but it's dope nonetheless. If anyone has more info on this clip or even the full show, hit me up! In the meantime, just vibe to this dope freestyle.

"AIDS is wack"

"The Rubbers Song" deserves it's own post. I love this song. It's a song about using contraceptives that's not incredibly cheesy or by Dr. Dre. It's actually enjoyable.

"The Rubbers Song" was featured on a compilation album called Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool. The album was released as an AIDS awareness effort, and a good one. The album features people like Donald Byrd, Digable Planets, The Roots, Roy Ayers, The Roots, and the Pharcyde. This is easily my favorite track.

The song was also released as a single with The Roots' "Proceed II" on the b-side. If you have this, please hook me up! I've been hunting it down for a while now. So without further ado, The Rubbers Song.

"Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next"

Oh how I love mysterious White Label releases.

I don't have much information on this record. Discogs says the release is a "Late 1990's white label with remixes of an unknown origin." That doesn't help. At all. Soul-Sides made a post about this release last year, with the last paragraph hinting that this may be a DJ Spinna remix. This is probable because many producers and DJ's press up white labels for illegal remixes to avoid getting sued.

The B-side is a remix of Black Moon's "How Many Mc's". Both remixes have a authentic 90's feel with dope basslines. The white-label includes instrumentals, which I could not find. If you have the instrumentals, Hit me up! Also, if you have any information on this white label (who did it, what year it was released, etc.) please e-mail me or leave a comment.

So, as promised, here are the mp3s.
