I also seen that at the pictures
Also this
It is only vaguely familiar, but I've definitely heard this before. You can certainly hear where others ripped off some of their beats. Michael Jackson, I'm talkin' to YOU.
We didn't have any stations up here in Canada that'd dare play anything like this -- I had to listen to Seattle radio to hear anything remotely like early Rap. Maybe if I add abackground noise (I daren't call it white noise!) to the background it'd be more familiar!

two things....
1) how old do you have to be to have a tattoo in amkerica?
2) she's got quite a nice pair of shirt potatoes on her
Yeah wtf is he talking about?
This is definitely the stuff I was hearing in the clubs back in the day. A friend was a DJ in a local club and would give me tapes of some of his mixing - he did it just to hear if it sounded as good as when it was live, to give him ideas, etc.
I remember making a mixtape for a girlfriend and it had Egyptian Lover, and I mixed it in with Harold Faltermeyers's "19". Me and my cheapie Radio Shack mixer.

Real music is still out there, it's just on the back-page radio stations and you have to go reading reviews and shit to find it. My GF's dad is this very formal old british guy, brilliant doctor, but he LOVES indie music, reads reviews and shops and the coolest little record stores. He loves Zepplin' and the Stones (has a review book of his top 500 favorite albums) and now the Black Keys and M83 Coolest guy.
But I understand why my people from the classic rock era think actual music isn't being made anymore Top 40 music is a fuggin' joke...

My friend worked at Radio Shack and the DJ worked there, too. He'd make me Mix tapes if I taped my old 60's albums for him - Donovan, Cream and psychedelic stuff he was REALLY into and mixed them into his repertoire.
I had over 200 albums my older brothers left behind so no money was exchanged, therefore (we thought) no illegalities! I was about 20 and he was 25 and just seemed sooo much more older than I.
I found one of those tapes last month (We called them "THAT tape mk1, THAT tape Mk 2, etc) and I was blown away all over again. Add to the fact that my cousins in England would send me their mixtapes and I was quite hip, musically speaking.
Some English stuff never made it here, and if it did, it'd take about 6 months to a year to come over.
My niece told me recently that she really thought I was the greatest thing because I wasn't listening much to the radio and always had something different and fresh on the car stereo.
I just plain LOVE music. Still do, although a little less, um, rabidly than I did.
