I`ve always been an huge fan of Ricky Walters a.k.a. Slick Rick ever since I first heard "Children`s Story" back in `89! Even as a young buck I thought he had some iLL storytelling abilities. That`s definitely something that I think helps keep an emcee entertaining & gives `em more replay value. Just peep tracks like the previously mentioned "Children`s Story", "Indian Girl", "Behind Bars" or even "Adults Only" -- very entertaining indeed....LoL, anyways I was bored a few days ago & decided that I`d put together a lil` mix of some rare & unreleased Slick Rick joints as well as a few of my fav` Ricky D tracks. So here`s what I came up with, nothing special but definitely worth a listen if you`re a BiG Slick rick fan. Gotta BiG~uP Roy Johnson from the Bust The Facts Crew for a whole lot of the unreleased tracks & the folks from over at TiMe 4 SuM AKSioN for a few of the rare 12" joints as well, thanks a lot fellas truly appreciated...

CRU`s "Lisa Lipps b/w Wreckgonize" [Promo 12 Inch]...

Yeah I`ve dusted off a few CRU joints since I`ve found that 'lost' harddrive, I may as well share this one while I`m at it! Now keep in mind most of the files on said HDD are 25 or so years old, this one`s only in 192 sound quality wise unfortunately, but hey it is what is simply is. Not 3D-HD enough for ya? Carry on my friend.......LoL, I`m just happy to be able to access these files after all these years! Anyway as with most CRU tracks Yogi handles the production on both songs featured on this promo 12 inch single released back in 1997 by Rush Associated Labels. "Lisa Lipps" is the more upbeat of the 2 joints on this 12 inch album promo. I know that there were a few kats that laughed seeing Lisa Lipps & 12 inch promo in the same sentence, `80's & `90's babies stand up.......LoL

 

In all honesty & I`m only guessing here, this "Lisa Lipps" joint sounds as tho it all came together after a good solid Rhythm Blunt session -- at least to my ears anyway. It just sounds as tho The Mighty Ha is straight free~flowin` off the top of the dome after vibin` to the beat while on that extremely nice previously mentioned Rhythm Blunt session. "Wreckgonize" is definitely the darker of the 2 tracks on this 12 inch & features an opening verse from the late & underappreciated Harlem emcee Black Rob. The song`s production is solid & definitely captures the vibe of the lyrics, all 3 verses are great! However the hook to me is kind of lazy yet surprisingly still sort of works with everything else. Remember kids, "Carlos The Basehead is lurkin`..." word to Yogi`s second verse! You get the Dirty, Clean & Instrumental versions of each song on this promo so go `head, check it out & enjoy...

CRU`s "BuBBLiN`" [12 iNCH]...

Got another CLaSSiC 12 inch single to share with y`all from CRU, released in 1997 on Violator Records. Both songs on this single are from CRU`s debut album "Da Dirty 30", highly recommend that ya give it a listen! So you`re not gettin` anything exclusive to this 12 inch release unfortunately. With a total of 5 tracks you`re gettin`; "Bubblin`" Radio, LP & Instr. versions & also The Lox collabo` "Live At The Tunnel" Radio & LP Versions. It would`ve been much better if they included the video version of "Bubblin`" instead of this Radio version because the video`s got alternate lyrics instead of just the lazy edits, but whatever. Yogi handles the production on both tracks, The Lox do their thang on "Live At The Tunnel", but I`m still DiGG`n "Bubblin`" after all these years. Excuse some of the pops & clicks, not the best quality rip but it is the only one that I have. Either way check it out & enjoy...

CRU`s "Up NoRTH b/w PRoNTo" [12 iNCH]...

Here`s a 12 inch single from CRU that was released back in 1997 I believe. "Pronto" is probably my favorite joint from them, I just love the head noddin` beat! That & the fact that this joint takes me back to the days of listening to the college radio HiP HoP shows in hopes of catchin` a new DoPe song to put on my pause~tape that I`d BuMP in my Sony Walkman......LoL, awwww the good ol` days I miss `em! Even though "Up North" is a decent track, I really only grabbed this for the "Pronto" joint. You get Radio, LP & Instrumental versions of both tracks -- 6 in total all produced by Yogi. The Radio version for "Pronto" is actually pretty enjoyable to listen to, but obviously the LP version is the real banger! Now the Radio version for "Up North" is a lil` more on the annoying side with it`s edits, not too sure why they didn`t just re~write the lyrics instead `cuz it really makes the hook annoying to listen to.....LoL, aside from that it`s a DoPe lil` single. So enjoy this promo 12 inch, excuse the mislabeling -- I have "Pronto" as the A-Side & "Up North" as the B-Side when it`s actually the other way around....LoL, told ya I DiG that track more, they should`ve made a video for it...

CRU`s "Da DiRTy 30"...

OVeRLooK`D CLaSSiC are the 2 wordS that come to my mind when anyone SPeaKS on CRU`s "Da Dirty 30" album. They originally went by the name Rhythm Blunt Cru (I`m actually looking for the "Rhythm Blunt Cru" [12 inch] if anyone could link that up I`d greatly appreciate it!) but apparently Mr. Russel Simmons wasn`t really feeling that so they cut it down to CRU. Repp`N the Bronx, CRU consisted of 3 members rapper Chadeeo, producer/ rapper Yogi & hype~man The Mighty Ha. They dropp`D "Da Dirty 30" in 1997, the album`s title referenced the district where these KaTs were from -- that & the fact that it had 30 trackS on it. Yogi handled the entire album`s production, dropp`N some good ol` New York BooM BaP beatS for that ass! While Tracey Lee ("it`s Party Time..."), a MaD HuNGRy sound`N Black Rob, The Lox, always iLL Ras Kass, storytellin` Slick Rick & even "The Gangstress" herself, Antoinette all show up for some DoPe featureS...

Even though this trio laced the HiP HoP WoRLD with some DoPe music their album sales weren`t all that great, so I`m guessin` that they were dropp`D from the label. However they had a track appearance ("Ohh Wee") on "Violator: The Album" a Violator Records compilation that was released in 1999. After that there`s been nothing but silence from the CRU. Yogi`s still doin` a lil` production though, he did a couple jointS for Method Man`s "Tical 0: The Prequel". O`TaY, that`s enough YiP~YaPP`n y`all just need to check the album out for bangerS like "Just Another Case", "Pronto", "Bubblin`", "Ebonic Plague", "Goines Tale", "Lisa Lipps" & "Armaggedon" to name a few...
