been a good listen steenb… Gil suberb…. though-ally enjoyed the last six rap tracks – haven’t been able to get on RR.. so don’t really know the reasons for them as ‘come backs’.. as ever, I’m sure you have wonderful justifications, but I just enjoyed the playlist.. Thanks a bundle.
You kind of did a gradual ramp up to the Hip Hop stuff this week? The Q-Tip is a big fave & Gil can always cut the mustard.
Thanks for listening, sanegazershoeshane. I’m looking forward to hearing both of your lists.
Pete Rock/C.L. Smooth tracks indeed brilliant, Gil also. Equally enjoyed the Nas and Talib Kweli, all these raps tracks hit a sweet spot.
Loving that version of Candyman, I would have liked to hear MJH introduce himself like Britney, that Jackson 5 sample is a guaranteed winner. This playlist is helping me warm up in my heatingless flat.
ejaydeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
