Cube and Dre, in the beginning
The Jeff sent me this random link a bit ago - which subsequently linked to this shining bit of awesomeosity. Three tracks from ‘86 featuring a young Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. It’s so unfathomably great, they don’t know if they love the Beastie Boys or Run DMC more. In the first track it’s more or less just like a Beatsies track, I mean really just like one. It’s got a little DMC thrown in there, for flavor, but the second track is all Run DMC. Still, I’ll throw it over to the Beatsies seeing as how the last track goes and samples them.
Seriously, you need to listen:
Ill-Legal
Jus 4 The Cash $
My Posse
So awesome.
Oh, and BAF in general is a pretty good blog for your perusing pleasure.

Rick Ruben haters!!!! Well, that style didn’t last long. Can’t say they sound like the b-boys now. Plus anyone who is a teenager and amped up on caffeine will sound like the b-boys. Interesting though, License to Ill came out in 86 too.

Hey man, I was amped up on caffeine and I didn’t sound nothin’ like the beatsies! It’s so funny to see these bastions of gangsta bustin’ out their beatsie/DMC songs. Man.
