#TBT “Crooklyn” (1994) ~ A Spike Lee Joint… Poor little Troy had no clue what she was watching here!?!? All she wanted to do was go to the bodega and get her snacks. Simple!!! Set in Brooklyn, New York, Spike and his sister Joi based the movie’s plot loosely on the story of their own lives… growing up during the early 70’s in Bed-Stuy. This is one for “The List” of all-time favorites. Two thumbs up!!! What say you??? Check the #abctbt for the title track…

“Shimmy Shimmy Ya” ~ Ol’ Dirty Bastard #TBT… From his 1995, solo, debut album, “Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version.” Born Russell Tyrone Jones, ODB was a founding member of The Wu-Tang Clan. His contributions to the group go unmatched via his very unique style and choppy lyrical flow. The RZA produced single helped land the album on the Billboard charts with the aid of features and production by other Wu members. 500 million plus copies sold solidified a gold plaque for brother Dirt McGirt… #hiphophistory 📻💿🎤

“Shawty” ~ Plies #TBT Plies ft. T-Pain… From his 2007 debut album, “The Real Testament.” Along with the album, the single reached platinum status. The music video features cameo appearances by Rich Boy, Rick Ross, Young Jack Thriller (This is 50), Edgerrin James, and Jevon Kearse and comedian/recording artist, Lil Duval. #oldschoolhiphop #abctbt 📻💿🎤

“I Got Cha Opin” ~ Black Moon #TBT… Another classic joint from their 1993 debut album, “Enta da Stage.” Often loosely credited with the resurgence of New York hip-hop, these Brooklyn natives effectively cemented their place in the culture’s history. Buckshot, 5 ft and DJ Evil Dee accomplished what few groups seem to be able to do… Stay together. Having a debut album that “…marked a turning point in hip-hop” is great, but dropping a fourth one 25 years later is just… #oldschoolhiphop #abctbt 📻💿🎤

“Bucktown” by Smif-N-Wessun… Slipped on the #abctbt & #abcfbf this week. Long story (see next post). @mylothecat with a #classic favorite regardless. Man check out the homie and his mashups. The hard work and meticulous editing by itself is worthy of a standing ovation!!!

#Summertime in the city… It’s hot as hell outside. Stay cool and have a GREAT weekend… Revamping the #abctbt & #abcfbf vids. Go check out @ab_crackleandhiss for #vinyljunkie inspiration…

Another dope mashup by @mylothecat. Easily one of my favorite joints by my favorite #hiphop producer and dynamic duo. “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) by Pete Rock & CL Smooth. I already did a drop on this song so check the #abctbt or remember… @google is your best friend!!!

CONFESSION: I got lazy this week and let my feed suffer (slightly). Not making excuses but honestly the IG and record label police kind of got me 😬 shook!?!? Taking down my #TBT & #FBF videos was 💯 wack to the nth degree!!! But, I think things are back on track. #abctbt and #abcfbf coming to you in 3…2…1… Have a GREAT weekend boys and girls!!!
