What I'm listening to today: "The Man Right Chea", Mystikal
Yes, my 90s southern hip hop mixtape is 50% No Limit by volume. Here's the thing: So was the radio in 1997. This is a loopy, hypnotic bit of experimental techno packaged as hip hop and I'm still kinda shocked radio stations played it
Beats by the Pound getting the most technique out of the cheapest synthesizers; Mystikal doing oddly experimental vocals that seem to have departed "rap" and approach skat singing
What I'm listening to today: "Distant Wilderness", Goodie Mob
To close this notional "mixtape", and for historical significance, I probably *should* link "Dirty South", the Goodie Mob song that coined the phrase. (It's a pretty good song! It even has Big Boi on it!) However, instead I am going to indulge myself and just link a track I really like, even though it's on the same album as "Black Ice".
Here: A beautiful slow acoustic-folk call to revolution
