@PaulDJStepOne @AM76Design I’ve not heard that one for well over 30 years!Always remember that blend of Chuck D and The Pasadenas! There were loads of interesting bootlegs doing the rounds back then mostly knocked up on 4 track portastudios. Do you remember that Richie Rich’s Scam 12?

[Tim Ollis @timollis]

@PaulDJStepOne @AM76Design I think a lot of it can be traced back to Double D & Steinski’s ‘Lessons’. Was having a similar convo the other day about how Coldcut’s ‘Say Kids’ led to a load of those cut and paste records coming out and creeping into regular chart records.

@nappa72 @gordonshumwhey @PaulDJStepOne @DanteRoss @SheckyGreen @DjMightyMi The CJ remix of Roxanne Shante’s ‘Live On Stage’ was one of the worst!

@nappa72 @gordonshumwhey @PaulDJStepOne @DanteRoss @SheckyGreen @DjMightyMi Ahh, the Principal was soo dope, such a shame he disowned his talent when he got all holy and that (from what I’ve heard!)

[Tim Ollis @timollis]

@gordonshumwhey @PaulDJStepOne @DanteRoss @SheckyGreen @DjMightyMi CJ was considered one of the UK's top scratch DJs for a minute around 87 or so. That MAARS record obvs got him through the door when every US joint was getting a UK remix.

@PaulDJStepOne Those 2 RPM 12s were pretty decent, and that Jaz Hip Jap comp had some good moments. Also DJ Krush's Strictly Turntablized had some joints.

@RandomRan__ @djmk Has it not occurred to you there was a reason Nas was able to have that era's elite producers fighting to get a spot on his debut. After that BBQ verse, the talk was this kid was the second coming of Rakim!

@DJSarahLove Been saying this! Rappers are scared to jump on a beat over 90bpm these days. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of slow stuff but still, I’m not gonna be playing it out!

[Tim Ollis @timollis]

@FARMABEATS @JazzT71 Loads I could mention but @oliversuddenuk is definitely a contender. Dude is a living ambassador for hip hop, does so much for the scene and is totally humble about it.
