Such great writing! Worth reading for this line alone: “Ghostface Killah - the only Wu-Tang member ever to chat up a friend of mine while I was waiting to take her to the bus stop” 😂
Thanks for once again dusting off records I’d forgotten ever existed (Missy!), props to the range of Armand van Helden (can we also talk sometime about his drum & bass interpretation of Monica & Treach’s R&B banger, “Ain’t Nobody” aka “Ain’t Armand” - I will never forget walking into my local club, Sir Henry’s in Cork for the first time circa 98/99 as this came on, youthful bliss!)
Thanks also for shining a light yet again on some new discoveries for me. Putting the playlist on now on the background, working from home, with dance breaks between my pomodoros 🍅
“Ghostface Killah - the only Wu-Tang member ever to chat up a friend of mine while I was waiting to take her to the bus stop”.
I should add that while this was happening, every single person who passed looked at me with a slightly sad expression. I think they assumed my friend was my girlfriend and I was about to lose her to Ghostface.
One of my favourite hip-house tracks yesterdecade was Vic Mensa's "Down on My Luck," a sound he seemed to stumble on and then never bother with again.
yeah I wish he had kept up with that! It reminds me of Inner City
