Video: Mos Def Saved 88-Keys’ Ass From Homelessness
More from Media Gasface‘s conversation with EightyOcho:
Last week’s vid was about the day 88 met Dilla, today’s joint deals with a 3 years-older 88-Keys. Back in 97, young Charles is living in West Hempstead (Long Island) with his folks. Still in college, he hasn’t produce any track yet, doesn’t even have a single slice of pizza to his name. Too cool for school, 88′ll soon get kicked out of home…. All of a sudden, he has to prepare for rougher kind of life.

good looking out, for the responses…I kind of sleep on Aretha, as an artist…i know she’s talented, but sonically, i tend to gravitate more towards Gladys Knight…

That whole Mobb Deep shit is why I cant take Camel seriously. Camel used to throw subliminals at the Mobb, but he wouldn’t dare mention them due to E-Money Bags (RIP). Then when he got killed, Jay releases Takeover, talkin all this shit about the Mobb, never once talking about lyrics or the streets but how rich he is in comparison to them.
Bitch ass nigga.

@ ‘con
nah man, my old external HD went kaput on a nigga, and getting back them gems woulda taken tooooooooo much work.
and zshare deaded most of my links, so i woulda had to spend tooooooo much time re-upping most of that shit.
it was fun being a crate digger, though.
highlight was when i saw charles hamilton had a link to my blog as “one of the best sites on the internet.”

Of course…he couldnt exactly call them WACK…they just released 3 back to back classics…maybe 5 if you include HNIC & Episodes Of A Hustler…and P was creeping into that top 5 DOA spot real fast…

They were going Gold and Platinum with just uncut street shit, barely any daytime/primetime radio play on Hot 97. Whereas J**-Z had to make In My Lifetime to sell units. They never intentionally made shit for the clubs yet Quiet Storm Remix shut the Tunnel the fuck down. I could see why C*mel was mad.
