THROWBACK: Freeway Ft. Peedi Crakk - Flipside

This was one of my favorite joints back in the day!  Actually, it's still one of my favorites even today! 

 

I ALWAYS said, it's harder to rap on beat, not rhyming every bar than it is to rhyme every bar.  Freeway got that method down packed!

 

Unfortunately, Peedi was never one to really pop off in the industry, but I've always thought his flow was dope. 

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Clap for me mami, oh! Flipsiiiiiiiiiiide!

Throwback Thursday: The Lyricist Lounge Show

I remember seeing this on MTV and being amazed at how they combined rapping with comedy skits! Not to mention the hottest rappers in the game were featured on every episode. (Mos Def, Common, Snoop, Da Brat, etc.)

This was when I was heavy into rapping myself so not only did this entertain me, but it also inspired me! Story telling through rap isn't easy and everyone on this show held it down!

When I got news that the show I cancelled I was so damn sad...smh

So let's take a trip down memory lane shall we...

The news

Common @ the barbershop

Freestyle @ the end of every show

Throwback Thursday

Instead of posting pictures of myself, I've decided to dedicate this post to things from back in the day that I thought were the shit.

Gameboy Light in GOLD

Man...when my parents bought this for me one Christmas, I felt like I was the shit! Gold has always been filthy to me so when I came up in school secretly flashing this around I felt like a bawssee! I think the game I played on this was like pokemon or something...lmao

DunkaroosI LOVED me some Dunkaroos!!! I hadn't seen this snacks since middle school then randomly heard that Grocery Outlet was selling them!! LOL That was some time last year and since then I've never seen another box! :(

TGIF on ABC
I watched the best shows on these nights -- Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Dinosaurs! I loved me some Dinosaurs though LOL ...I miss these nights where I didn't

All That

My most favorite show as a youngin probably because it reminded me so much of In Living Color, but was much more appropriate for my age. Ha! Baggin Saggin Berry, Superdude, Repair Man, Ask Ashley, and the convenience store sketches were classic. I miss good TV like this!!!

POGs & Slammers

I was the POG queen in elementary! No one was touching my POG game! LOL I remember I had such a crazy collection and I really went HAM on "battling" with these. Hahahah! Remember them plastic containers that you'd store them in though?!?!? LOL I had mad colors

M.A.S.H.
Not the TV show, but the game that determined the compatability of you and your crush, your future career and whether or not you ended up in a mansion or shack...LMAO...y'all remember this game right?!?! I was all about this!












That's all for this week's Throwback Thursday! Check back next week to see what other shit used to be crackin back in the day. LOL

RAP CITY: THE BASEMENT

When I first starting rapping in 8th grade/2001, one of my most favorite and most inspirational shows was The Basement...seeing different artists from Dipset to Krs 1 to Cassidy get on the mic and freestyle was amazing to me...I looked up to them and learned from there...and when the show finally ended, I won't lie, it hurt. lol Here goes a few of my favorite freestyles...shout out to the people on YouTube that uploaded this!! Dipset Jin...don't front, he was nice with it Rah Digga
