    I work in Detroit, so I’m sort of an expert.

    Yeah, and like 107 people a day get shot in my city, so I'm basically living a Mobb Deep track.

    @mbrekk44 I tend to judge people based solely on their taste in music and swimming ability. So unless you swim like Amberger, I think you might be a terrible person.

    Then im the fucking worst. However if you don’t like Steve Winwoid, I will shit on your lawn. If people from Chicago even have lawns

    I like much of the same, Wu-Tang, Nas, Biggie. I also had a big phase of lisgening to underground hip hop in college, a bunch of Def Jux artists: El-P, Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Vast Aire.
    One of my favorite albums is Deltron 3030.

    I went to graduate school in Brooklyn and lived in Biggie's neighborhood. I saw 3-6 Mafia once shooting a video when I was at the laundromat across the street. I also went to a house party once in Biggie's old house. Some friends just happened to be renting it. And that's the entirety of my street cred.

    @AaronWebstey enjoy your Nas education. Illmatic is right there with 36 Chambers as the greatest album in hip-hop history. He came out with a new album this year...you can skip that one.

    x2
    I teach high schoolers and they stayed after class once to work on a project. They were talking about the hip hop they liked and I asked if they heard of Nas, they said no. So I played Illmatic for them.
    I forgot how much cursing there is, so I turned it off after NYC State of Mind, I didn't want a phone call from a parent.

    Oh yeah and a kid in my 8th grade class played young Tupac in the Dear Mama video. He had to leave social studies for two weeks to fly to LA and shoot the video.
    Also Lil Bow Wow went to high school with me.
    And one time I had a cigarette outside the club with local artist, Blueprint. Then I left my hip hop lifestyle for triathlon and moved to the suburbs to spend weekends at the Container Store.

    I called out El-P. Close enough. I'm sorry.

    There was a great hip hop show on WFMU that I used to listen to in New York called Coffee Break for Heroes and Villains. It's now defunct but incredibly the shows are archived on their website here:
    http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/NU
    There's hundreds of hours of great music to listen to spanning from 88 - 08ish. I think each episode is 3 hours?
    This would be a good listen at work (got me through grad school) especially if you need to incorporate more hip hop into your diet.

    @Granpa Chook here's two of my favorite artists together:

    We always play music in my classroom, I let the kids pick sometimes (and on their birthday). I like to throw on RZA sometimes when they are working quietly on projects.

    @ellsworth53t Oh my god. Somehow I missed that track? Many thanks.

    I didn't know they did anything else together besides Biochemical Equation. Which I know you know, but to all those who don't know... now ya know.

    @bbculp I pulled out Liquid Swords on my run today. I forgot how effin good 4th Chamber is.
    For some reason the last cassettes that I had were this album and Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow. I used to blast those cassettes in my 88 Accord.

    @ellsworth53t I can't think of the last day I didn't listen to 4th Chamber at least 2x. It was probably back in high school. Ghostface's opening verse is FUCKING FIRE.

    For those of you who don't know, now you know.

    For any of you who want to further your education of the WU, I highly recommend watching Shogun Assassin (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081506/). That film was impetus behind Liquid Swords and some other of the Clan's best work.

    The Wu-Tang Manual that Rza put together is also a great read and should be the centerpiece of everyone's coffee table. (https://www.amazon.com/Wu-Tang-Manual-RZA/dp/1594480184)

    @bbculp I used to blast those cassettes in my 88 Accord.

    @ellsworth53t That may be the best way to listen to Wu I think. On a hot summer night with the moonroof cracked, or a cold winter morning when your heater doesn't work. I used to blast 36 Chambers on cassette in my 91 Civic Wagon (the Wu Wagon) until 4 years ago where I had to sell it. (i'm probably much younger than you but I am a longtime member of the my-bike-is-more-expensive-than-my-car club/ not having a real job).

    I can't tell you how many times I say "you don't understand my words, but you must choose" in my everyday life...food, boardgames, swim sets, whatever.

    That Akon x Moody Blues x Nasser story is just bizarre. Can we get more of those @bbculp ?

    Y'all be nice to the crackheads.
