I bet a lot of you forgot how dope this song was. From Kelis’s third album titled Tasty, Millionaire featuring Andre 3000 was easily one of the best songs on the record. The production was progressive, Kelis’s voice and range was utilized perfectly, and Andre 3000’s verse tells the lows of being a millionaire in an artist free-formed structure that only 3-Stacks can deliver.
Maybe I should have just said, “That shit knocks!”

This is obviously lengthy, but as a fan of Hip Hop, how can you not sit and listen to this entire thing? BTW, DMX goes OFF! @ the end. Classic Exactly…

This is a classic freestyle session with Big L (R.I.P) and Jay Z on Bobbito & Stretch Armstrong’s radio show way back in 1995. I still know a few people that have NEVER heard this so I figured it was time for a little re-education. There are a LOT of quotables in this one 7 minute freestyle.
Enticing when slicing through tracks…

CLASSIC: Chick-O-Sticks
Filed Under CLASSIC | 2 Comments
Tell me ya’ll remember these? I’m sure they’re still around, just not where I live at lol! What ever happened to the good ol’ days where you could walk into the corner store and get MADD shit for $1? *Sighs* In the candy category, Chick-O-Stick certainly is classic.
Here’s some things about Chick-O-Sticks you might not know:
What they really are is a peanut butter toffee crisp covered in coconut. Pretty simple. A lot like the inside of a Butterfinger bar, but a bit more solid (as you can see in the close up if you click on the photo).
The taste is good, sweet with a nice hit of salt and a really good roasted peanut butter flavor. Even though the coconut looks pretty minimal, the taste is pretty significant. Unlike some of the other crisped peanut butter candies, this one contains no trans fats, in fact the only fat in it comes from the peanut butter itself. They’re much easier to carry around than some chocolate candies because it doesn’t melt, so I can see this being a good treat for hiking or shipping long distances (the Atkinson website mentions shipping them to Iraq).

CLASSIC: Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (Live)
Filed Under CLASSIC | Leave a Comment
Fleetwood Mac has many classic songs in their catalog, but surprisingly. “Dreams” is their only song to go no. 1 in the United States….go figure. I recall one of my teachers reminiscing on when the Rumours LP released and how in his hometown the popular place to be at the time was the main strip. Everyone would drive up and down the strip “bangin’” the Rumours LP. Ahh, memories eh?

In preparation for the Friday Pete Rock vs. Primo battle, I decided to go back and visit a bunch of joints that they might play against one another. The obvious classics came to mind: Mass Appeal, Shut Em Down, Nas Is Like, Full Clip, T.R.O.Y. Then I remembered Royalty and Discipline and thought, Pete Rock might have a bit of trouble on his hands! This is shaping up to be an interesting friendly competition. YEAAAAAAAAEEEYEAAAAAAAEEAAAAAAA!!! * sang like KC * Ahh the cliche KC/Jodeci run.

The Source Magazine was once highly regarded within the Hip Hop community. I think its always interesting to look back at reviews of albums that are dubbed “classic” to see the initial response to them. Did they know Illmatic would have the impact it did? Click here to view ENLARGED picture!
