Mecca? And no Soul Brother? For shame...

Is this the same Sun Dubious who appeared on Paris' LP on the track
"Conspiracy of Silence"? (which, BTW, is the phattest track on that phat
album) He didn't happen to sound like B-Real, did he?

I hope all that stuff comes out soon.  I'm in dire need of new beats.  Last
I heard, Heavy D. should be in stores this week, Brand Nubian at the end of
the month, and Quest Feb. 3.

Aside: I went into a CD Superstore in Bull City a week ago, and they have a
computer there in the front of the store that lets you see if an album is out 
and check out the reviews and what's on the album.  They had a listing for
"In God We Trust" there and a release date for Decemeber or so.  I made a
printout of the listing and showed it to a clerk there.  She was looking
around the R&B and jazz sections for "Brad Nubain".  My fellow hip hop fans,
if that isn't a call to action, nothing is.

I dunno, T.  I'm still buggin' off that bassline for "Sally Got a One-Track
Mind."  Diamond D.'s album is one of the best of the year, though.
