" 88 Mindstate "
Back in 1988 I was a twelve year old kid obsessed with Hip Hop………
I already had my own pair of turntables and a crummy radio shack Realistic mixer that I would abuse on the regular…..The needles would skip around crazy, so I would put a nickel on top of the needles to try to prevent them from jumping around while I tried to copy the latest Joe Cooley scratch….
It seemed like everything popped off crazy in 1988……N.W.A., T-La Rock, Mantronix was still crushing shit, Fat Boys were still trying to hang on, Super Lover Cee & Casanova Rud, G Rap, Steady B, Stetsasonic, and many others made 1988 a year that is forever embedded in my Hip Hop rolodex….
Twenty two years later I am still obsessed with Hip Hop, while many of my comrades from those days completely fell the fuck off….SAD……Anyway those cats from Global Funk Radio (UK) rocked a radio show featuring all 88 cuts…Over an hour of crazy drum programming, yelling on the mic, abrasive scratches, and all that other 88 shit…….
Do yourself a favor and hop into this classic Hip Hop time machine homeboy……..
