[MP3] Throwback Thursday: Run-DMC – Peter Piper (Live Unreleased Version)

An almost completely different version of Run-DMC‘s classic “Peter Piper” at Peoples Club Paddington, London in 1986 with DJ Jam Master Jay killing the Bob James‘ “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” breakbeat live. “F-ck Michael Jackson and his bullsh-t Thriller…” I bet Rev. Run is regretting that line now! This is f-cking EPIC nonetheless though. Props to Random Rap Radio once again.

[MP3] Throwback Thursday: London Posse – Freestyle [Janice Long Session – October 1987]

Long time readers know London Posse is probably my all-time favorite hip-hop group from the UK. I still rate Rodney P and Bionic more than most MCs coming from that side of the world even today. Hearing this freestyle, where they go raw dog over the “I Get Lifted” breakbeat, reminds me of how good they were and the roots of what hip-hop sued to be. Dig this? Listen to all three tracks from this session London Posse did for BBC Radio’s Janice Long back in 1987 HERE.

There was a snippet of this going around for a while but here goes the whole track. No real surprises from a creative point of view but it’s a solid track, I guess….

[MP3] Throwback Thursday: Stic.Man of Dead Prez​, ​Mike Flo​ & ​Mos Def – Made You Die

I don’t know how I missed this heater flipping Nas‘s classic “Made You Look” examining the Trayvon Martin case from last year on the Every 36 Hours album (released by Nu Afrika Ent/MXGM). I only caught wind of it after watching the low budget but still worth watching, Hip Hop, White Supremacy & Capitalism documentary on my man DCQ (of UTD and Medina Green)’s blog, in which the video for it is featured, but #ThrowbackThursday gave me the perfect opportunity to post it still now. After all, the f-ckery still continues. Smdh….
