I was under the impression that the new N.W.A was coming out this September. 
Well, it's the 30th, and I haven't seen it yet.  The local record store 
seems to know nothing about a release date at all.  Can anyone drop some 411 
on this?

 What about the Funkadelic albums on Warner Brothers? Have they been rereleased?
  Maybe WB rereleased them in Japan as well. Also: Where to buy Funk records in

I think you guys miss the point.  A Tribe Called Quest, hardly
hard-core, got major props in this group.  Early EPMD and tons of
others as well.

Hammer gets dissed because he just can't rap.  He gives an energetic
show, but he aint no MC.

I say this is a possibilty because I don't know the definitive chronology of hip
hop. 
What we now know as rap/hip hop originated in the Bronx, NYC and it has been said
 that DJ Cool Herc was the first, coming out in the Seventies. 
Rap may not have moved out of New York until the early 80's but I think the first
"popular" records , maybe Rapper's Delight or an Afrika BamBatta track was 1979.

My hip hop history eludes me at this early stage, someone else want to clarify?

Can you adjust the pitch of the drums on there? I was able to get that 
BOOM bass out of the R8 by lowering the pitch of the 808 conga. I like the idea
of the reverb and chorus sound effects. What else does it have? Is it touch
sensitive? Also, how does it handle drum rolls/flams and other complicated
rhythms? 

Might be worth looking into in the future...

Editors note:  This is being typed by the sis of M.C. Flash X who doesn't have
current net access.  He should be returning on Saturday.

There are two tapes that are must buys now. 'White Men Can't Rap'--Soundtrack,
and Brand New Heavies--'Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1'.  As you all could guess
by the title and what these tapes have in common, I mean Main Source.  I mean,
it wasn't Brand New Heavies and the Large Professor, the same way it wasn't
'Who Makes the Loot' by Brand Nubian.  So let's think about this.  This is the
same group who in the very first line of 'BNH and Main Source' said 'Main
Source forever'.  And yet here we are, with ALT.RAP dropping the science on
broken atoms weeks before the new Source was even out.  So I pose this
question.  Were they fakin' the funk?  I truly do love Main Source, but to me
that fact that the Large Professor is going to be replaced by somebody else
sucks shit.  There is no way, in my mind, that they will ever again be what
they once were.  The were a GROUP!  I hope the new Main Source album is dope,
but I personally reefuse to buy it.  I'd sooner pick up a Large Professor solo
album, although this album will suffer from not having K-Cut and Sir Scratch as
well.  How can we keep dope groups like Main Source, 3rd Bass, and Brand Nubain
from breakin' up?  Suggestions please!  You can contact me at
<JUONSTEVE@BVC.EDU>, and though I'm not at the net every weekend, when I am
I'll get back to you.  Peace.

Well, after the disappointment of Red Hot Lover Tone, and having only one other
member of my football team show up for todays game (aka forfeit), I stopped by
the record store to just check on some twelve inch releases.  While playing
with the CD's, to my surprise, the debut album from Showbiz & A.G., titled,
"Runaway Slave," was out.  No advertisement, no fanfare or nothing.  Well, I
thought their EP was good, so I picked up the last copy.  I just finished
listening to it and this is even better than their EP.  It starts out with,
'Still Diggin',' a follow-up to the EP's, 'Diggin' In The Crates,' and doesn't
let up.  The beats are FAT, A.G. comes off with the rhyming skills, and the
cameos made on the album also come off.  Cameos are made by Black Sheep on,
'Bounce Ta This,' (a song that was getting play in NYC late summer), Diamond D,
and a posse jam called, 'Represent,' where the first guy, Big L I think, just
rips it!  Of course Lord Finesse shows up on the album too.  Showbiz definitely
has some productions skills and creates some *new* beats to nod your head to. 
For those that like long albums/CD's, the CD is just under 70 minutes, and does
not get boring either.  This, as Chubbs would put it, is some -o- next sh*t;
for serious underground hip hop fans only.  Too bad it may not get heard due to
lack of promotion.

	Sometimes a remix comes out a lot doper than the original...like
all the 12's from Kwame's last album, Jodeci's "Come & Talk To Me" and 
"Gotta Love," A Tribe Called Quest's "Can I Kick It?," LL Cool J's 
"Jingling Baby," "Planet E" and New Edition's "NE Heartbreak" (this is alt.
rap, right?) 
	Other times a remix just doesn't make any sense - like the House of
Pain "Jump Around"/"Anthem" remixes - not much difference between the original
and the remix. Also, 12"s from King T ("At Your Own Risk"), D-Nice (I forget
which one) and Whodini ("Judy") had about 5 or 6 remixes that all sounded the 
same. Usually though, the original is just too dope to improve on.
	On PE's lastest, the remixes for "Louder Than A Bomb" and "You're 
Gonna Get Yours" are all that!

     I saw some Addidas shelltops the other day in a Footlocker store so I
think that there is a new line coming out.  If you want the ORIGINAL
shelltops though you can get them through mail order through the store that
the Beastie Boys own in Los Angeles.  By the way, they also sell the old

Did it ever occur to you that a relative of one of those 7 killed in the
Warrior APC might actually be reading your comments on the net?

Hint:-
4 of those killed were Scottish. Virtually every Scottish University is
connected to the net. There are only 5 million people living in Scotland.
A large percentage of Scots go onto higher education as it's paid for by
the government.
What do you think the odds are?

If these folks you're talking about were so patriotic, why didn't they drop
everything and enlist in the US Army?

I was working towards my BSCS when I was recalled, and don't remember too many
people asking me whether I would mind if they followed.

Bill Clinton is another sour point with me.  He DID evade the draft, but I
keep hearing how he promotes stronger US Military involvment in what was once
Yugoslavia.  If you ask me, a war fought there would be very long and costly.
Sort of like Vietnam (in a general sense; I don't want to veer into a tangent).
That doesn't mean I won't report when ordered to.  But, it would be funny with
Clinton in office to get a letter in the mail that reads:

"By Presidential Executive Order #xxx, dated 00-FUTURE-0000 you are hereby
recalled to Active Duty, please report...blah...blah...blah..."

It would be "suitable for framing" wouldn't it?

I wonder if the ROTC Cmdr. at some local Univ. would be willing to write me a
waiver.
