back in the days on the boulevard of Corporal Kennedy...

i was waiting for a couple of friends outside of a Bayside eatery for a buy/sell sell/buy meeting, when all of a sudden a mid 90's Jetta with 5 kids—high school seniors/college freshmen from the look of it—rolled by with 'Check the Rhime' from Tribe Called Quest blaring from the speakers along Corporal Kennedy Blvd (insert guido joke here)...

1991 off the classic Low End Theory record—everyone should have a copy in one format or another of this record. i was pleasantly surprised that 5 kids who probably weren't born yet when this song was recorded deemed it worthy to blow through their stereo in the age of the voice modulater or as i have termed it—the Yoko Ono of hip hop. i took pause and then smiled...

it seems rap may not be dead yet...
