Man I was kicking it to YZ waaaaaaay back in the day. I always hated Puffy for using basically same track YZ did with "In Control Of Things" with Lil Kim...well truth be told, I hate puffy for a lot of different reasons but that's another story.
When that Kim track came out all these cats never believed me that YZ did the beat first... As Monie Love would say, It's a Shame....
Great post.
BrotherB
his 'full' name is/was YZ.G.Rock... the only track i heard this cat on was Professor X's 'Close The Crackhouse', one of the most insane posse records ever, with PE, Big Daddy Kane, Digital Undeground, the Poor Righteous Teachers, and a bunch of others......
anyway, thanks for the hook up!!
He had an EP in addition to the two albums.
Hey es-won, have never heard that Professor X track before.What a line up.
nesta, I've seen odds and soda about Yz's eps but was never sure if they had many new tracks beyond instrumentals from this album?
dj wildchild(renegade master)was an old flatmate and friend.r.i.p roger,and he would rock this album 24-7.
taggin it up was his favourite track of all time.so thanks for bringing it back.good menmories of him speeding up the tune and 2,000 ravers dancin to it at a rave
Hey paul, remember wildchild's djing well, he's still sorely missed. R.I.P. indeed.
never heard of Taggin... being used at a rave, would have loved to have seen it happen.
Word, thank you!
YZ never did and probably never will get his due. On an either, totally unrelated or completely related note: let's have another O.C. post.
Am I the only one that's geeked about YZ listing Steely Dan as a myspace influence?
Been contemplating putting up a post on O.C. for a while, keep your eyes peeled.......
