I love it. I couldn't get enough of that shit back in the day. There was actually a time when I bought every new hip hop album that came out. There were that few. And they were only available (in Manhattan) at Tower Records in the Village on a
maybe five foot long display case on the second floor, all the way in the back. I could go up there and take a look without moving anything and know there was nothing new out. Shit, half the time I'd get any new music from the Friday night mixes on 98.7 (Red Alert) or 107.5 (Marley Marl). We wanted respect and exposure back then and look what that shit got us. Damn.
I have a video tape of a bunch of old videos (like 6 hours worth), going way back to shit like Big Daddy Kane's Ain't No Half Steppin' and De La's Potholes. Too bad I no longer have a vcr.
