nobody ever wants to listen to a 35 minute freestyle rap anymore 😔 (ft. Big Pokey, Key C, Kay-Luv, Yungstar, Big Moe, Haircut Joe, DeMo)

I used to hang around a lot more cishet dudes and any opportunity we had we’d boot up the Type beats and just have fun and try to make each other laugh for hours. Nowadays the people I run with aren’t as into rap and are maybe a little shy about jumping into freestyling. I’ll admit it takes A TON of practice to actually be good, but I’m not asking for them to be good I’m asking for levity and laughter. I really wish I still had someone to share this with. It can definitely be a solo activity, but there’s nothing like the belly laughs I’d have when someone matches or tops the lunacy of the last 16.
If you love rap music and are around some bros who don’t mind being a little silly or cringe, throw on a type beats. It’s mad addictive, once you have one solid good one you’ll be chasing that high for a while.

I don't know why Sonny Cheeba and Geechi Suede don't get more love when the subject of "golden age hip hop" comes up.
Dudes were from the heart of it all, the Boogie Down (in fact their producer Ski Beatz lived in the same building -- 1520 Sedgwick -- that Kool Herc had once lived in back in the day).
They invented their own lingo -- luchini = loot, jiggy vines = 70s style threads they were pioneering around the same time Digable and the Beasties were dressing that way, sugar dimes = hotties, Amaeret-tah = their beverage of choice, Hollywood = high life, etc.
They were obsessed with the 70s films Uptown Saturday Night and Cooley High, this pretty much formed the basis of their entire steez. The link here is to "Luchini" which is their anthem/best known track.
I've got a lot of time for this album three decades down the line. Dig the Marvin Gaye album cover pastiche too.
