Tell a lie…the hmv import was just because I wanted it on CD after owning the vinyl.

This is how I first got it (from black market records):

…and then I got the full Whu Thee Album on vinyl for about £11 new.
And then the HMV import cd.
That song cost me £40 in total. Damn.
And then I also bought all the others, went to see method man live.
20 Shot costing £25 turned out to be quite the money pit, eh?

Nah, forgiven. About 20-25 years I was sat there with a mate of mine smoking and listening to various Def Jux stuff and we both laughed agreeing that El P can be hard work.

I bought a Cannibal Ox album years ago and listened to it a fair bit but in the end i had to accept I wasnt enjoying it. Now I have Spotify and access to all the music in the world I haven’t thought about or searched for Cannibal Ox once and it’s only talking to you now that reminded me of it!

Oh - just need to mention that Hiero were the first crew to run a website with a shop in the late ‘90’s.

Also into Duck Down (Black Moon, Smif n Wessun, Sean Price, Rock etc etc), but I don’t recall those guys having much in skate vids.

Waffling now, nice bit of memory lane to cheer me up there.

I’m gonna shut up now. Just love that era of hip hop and so glad it was happening when I was a teenager!

This has just reminded me that I’m pretty sure I saw Cannibal Ox play, back in about 2005/2006. They played at a pub in Lancaster and the first 5 mins of the set was just white noise and feedback while the DJ rebooted his laptop.

Lancaster has, and had, quite an active music scene, but I still have no idea why they would have been booked to play a gig to 100 people in the north of England.

Got to thank 411 for introducing me to Gangstarr. Koston best of profile . And then loads more throughout the early 411 videos.
As said already, 411 is responsible for shaping so many of skaters music tastes .
so sick .

The Cold Vein? Its a great album but if you’re not feeling El P production nothing is going to save it haha. Pigeon is so good. Came out during my brief ecstasy phase…

Russel was at the RaD thing - surprised you didn’t see him there. Still exactly the same. Solid human being.

You know what? I think Sam Ashley pointed him out to me.
Turns out I have thought of that name very recently then. But I’m too old to remember new memories now.
