18 February 2015: It's 1989!

[RGMike]

the 'mats' "Talent Show" is not one we hear a lot, so VHM.

ETA: appears to be Bustout #2.

[RGMike]

Ha -- I heard "Me Myself & I" on 2NG yesterday and thought "AL hasn't played this in a while". VHM, tho' anything else from this LP would be a fabulous bustout.

[mshray]

I get to listen so infrequently that most LNs aren't LNs for me.  So far this set has had just about everything I was listening to in '89.

Oooooh, and here we go with De la Soul. 

Pop Quiz, what do I have in common with them, Stray Cats & Alec Baldwin & his less talented brothers?

[mshray]

Mostly a rhetorical question...we all came from Massapequa, Long Island, NY.

ETA:  Cool trivia - Pasemaster Mase, aka Vincent Mason, is the father of Rams rookie running back 'Tre Mason, who played at Auburn & was in the national championship game against FSU last year.

[RGMike]

Score: 2 bustouts, 2 hip-hop songs and 6 moderate-to-egregious AL standbys.

Score: 2 bustouts, 2 hip-hop songs and 6 moderate-to-egregious AL standbys.

But, most importantly, did the set RAWK hard enough?

None of you have been in my kitchen?

Hee. I haven't seen FP's assessment.

Well, we got Lenny, Lou, Pixies, Smithereens, and the 'Mats, all of whom could be construed as rockers, so that should have sufficed to fill the RAWK quotient. Why do I get the feeling it didn't?

Probably because we got TWO hip-hop records as bookends. He's not a big fan.

But I have been in your kitchen!

(at least your former one in SF)

"Buffalo Stance" is one of those songs that I once considered hip hop, but now I just think of it as a pop hit (and a good one at that). Evolution, baby!

Talk about evolution, do you know who had the first chart-topping hip hop song?

Blondie "Rapture"  (and they also had the 2nd chart-topping Reggae song with "The Tide Is High", care to guess who had the first?

Would've gotten "Rapture". Thinking on the first reggae #1.... Clapton's "I Shot The Sheriff"?

Blondie - so cutting edge, even if their hitmaking years were relatively brief.
