Another bit of 'Taste of Chocolate' trivia - the original version of 'Put Your Weight On It' was called 'The Wrath (Part II)' and flipped 'Amen Brother': unkut.com/2026/03/diggin…

@DjMightyMi @deejayunknown Ha!

@deejayunknown @unkut “To shamiyo, shamago like Laverne and Shirley Huh, now wait, now wait, now wait a minute”

You know what pissed me off? When Big Daddy Kane used the "Taste of Chocolate" beat as just an intro track. THAT SHIT SHOULDA BEEN A SINGLE

In case you missed it, last year Newcleus added a brand new song to the re-issue of their first album, and it's an absolute belter: themartorialist.blogspot.com/2025/12/wanted…

@doommega212 @80sBank @robpursey Nice one, here's the link unkut.com/2014/01/sir-ib…

@80sBank @robpursey I need to find it !!! In fact @unkut page has it ! Everyone should be on that page reading their replies interviews and the singles that’s flew past our head

This joint just goes hard. That simple. Catching absolute wreck with the cutting and scratching. Produced by Ibu & Mixed by Jazzy Jay, this was hip hop in its rawest form. Was thrilled when I finally snagged this 12 inch single some years back. Divine Force Holy War '87

@GregBerman50 Cheers Greg.

God bless the internet. Amidst all of the bad stuff, nice to be reminded that the web can also serve up brilliant niche material like this.

@IkeMoses But yeah the 'Straight Outta Compton' and '36 Chambers' clean tapes are great.

@unkut %#¢& that song but i’ll allow it. Tim Dog RIP.

it’s a lost art. every radio edit off 36 Chambers is just as good if not better than the album version.

@robpursey I fully endorse this message.

I bought everything with a Mark The 45 King (RIP) remix 🔥

@IkeMoses Tim Dog's 'Forget Compton' is incredible.

I’ve been binging Industry this month and they used the album version of “Shame on a Nigga” to close out the Rishi episode in season 3. That show got too many white people for that. Shoulda been the superior “Shame on a Nuh” anyway.

Looking forward to the 2026 remake of 'The Odd Couple', a TV show where MC Serch and Fat Joe share an apartment and trade stories about things that never happened.

@thehotboxsocial I'm saddened that I still haven't found a copy of 'The Overweight Lovers In The House' 12" out in the wild.

rolling out some heavy d & the boyz singles 🔥

@harryallen Rachelle Clinton, I'll add a photo credit.

Who took this picture?

@YourOldDroog A lot of people were mad/confused about the PM Dawn incident and couldn't deal with the fact that KRS could be 'conscious' and violent at the same time.

People older than me, why was BDP - Sex and Violence not as celebrated when it came out?

@DjMightyMi @ammofr Indeed, as per my 25,000 word thesis: unkut.com/2017/02/an-in-…

@unkut @ammofr In case you weren’t sure it was ‘a man’ the first two times.

Always a tricky game when you decide to name tracks after classics. « New York State of Mind part 3 » ain’t it.

@ammofr Yeah they could have left the Tax-Return Rap songs off for sure.

@unkut Exactly. The joints that are good are really good the ones who are bad… really bad. « Writers » and « 3rd childhood » are great.

On first listen, 'Light-Years' is nice. Six killer songs, the standard mix of Nas nailing it and saying dumb shit.

'It's Time' brings back when Premier re-arranged '7 Minutes of Funk' for NYGz, beautiful stuff.

'Madman' is a good one, 'It's Time' and the AZ song are sick.
