Retrohump: Check, baby, check, baby, 1, 2, 3, 4
Our quest to unearth the bounty of forgotten videos decaying in deep rusty vaults meets the much less publicized goal of inducing havoc with Google's search algorithms for indie rock blogs. Today I present a commentary shortened tour through a few highlights of the Merry Swankster's classic 1993 hip hop mixtape.
Wreckx-N-Effect - "Rumpshaker"
Misogyny gone wild! Inspiring M.I.A. to greatness in '07.
Positive K - "I Got a Man"
I remember someone telling my younger, and far more gullible former self that Positive K did the female parts of this song in the studio. I never found out if that was true or not, but I never stopped loving this song. One of my all time favorite rap lyrics: "So when your man don't treat you like he used to...I kick in like a turbo booster!"
Apache - "Gangsta Bitch"
Trivia time. Has there ever been a more loving ode for a gangsta's lady?
