isolator42 - 2009-02-25 07:39

...for anyone who likes a bit of Old Skool, The Rub (http://www.itstherub.com/) have some great mixes for download here:
http://therub.crewcial.org/history/

I recommend 1979 - 1989.
Even if you have the tracks, it's good to hear them mixed up differently.
I can't seem to find the web page that was there when I downloaded them a few months back, so here are the tracklists. Feast your eyes & then your ears.
It's the music boomboxes were made for... Smile

ive got all that stuff. thats a great site

blaster - 2009-02-25 13:22

its funny if you listen to the 1982 mix its starts out with the Yes we can can by the the Treacherous Three its almost like we are living those economic times like the lyrics state all over again but perhaps worse but this time in age finally we have someone that has the will to improve our situation...and coincidently obamas moto is "yes we can"..just like the title of the song...but goes to show the greed that rap music has evolved to nowawdays...old school hip hop had a message and lessons to be taught till this very day...its is why its called the true school...
