yeah you might want to just go to google and type 1980's type hip-hop rap style or something, lots of shit will come up man. But I used to be into those bands, I guess I show my age. :)

haha :) thanks for the info- is more for a friend gift, though am sure to smuggle a few records for myself.
off topic- what ever happened to "five miles out"? i still listen to it despite its long ass intro!

dont forget de la soul - sheesh!
- JazX0
ohhh yeah that song is in progression, I will repost it man, thanks, its all screwed up now. Like the newer version is worse than the older version so we have to take some steps back. The intro SUCKS ass, your right, way too long and that synth BLOWS!

De La Soul are still rocking! I saw them in NYC two years ago during that astronaut suit tour, that shit rocked!
