'How could anyone rhyme like that?!'
Inspired, I got a copy of 'I Got It Made' on cassette and began the pause-rewind routine until it was memorized.
On repeat in my mind, recited along with friends or just mouthed silently in class, I studied the rhyme patterns and contemplated where I could find Alligator Souffle, weeks on end.
This seems like an extraordinary event to me.
But now as I think back, I remember that this was indeed a common frequent occurrence -- like Zev Love X, Lord Finesse, K-Solo, Kwame, Kane, Chuck D, G Rap, before.
Extraordinary only in the light of the situation today.
It's always good to see these guys get the shine they deserve.
I can't help feeling a bit disappointed for him especially because I feel he could have left a bigger imprint in the rap "game" if he had done more music.
Who's next D. How about: Black Sheep, the Jungle Bros., Tribe Called Quest, Mr. Cheeks, Nice and Smooth. Whoever it is, I'll be waiting.
