CRU- Pronto

A d.j. was playing good hip-hop (classic shtein) last night at a bar and he busted out this song. I hadn't heard it in years.

I just throught I'd raise those nostalgic hairs on the  back of yo neckz!

Classic beat!

*side note, if you are not familiar with CRU, another one of my favs from them is 'Bubbling'.

da dirty 30 is one of the slept on records of all time and the best album of 1997...would be a straight up top 25 classic if the album didnt fall off at the end...up until 'the illz' its certified heat

The fourth edition of VH1's Hip-Hop Honors returns for 2007 with a lengthy list of honorees and performers. This year's official list of honorees includes A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, Whodini, Missy Elliott along with Teddy Riley and Andre Harrell for the sub genre New Jack Swing. Ciara, Eve, Pharrell Williams, The Game, T.I., Timbaland, Busta Rhymes, Common, T-Pain, Bow Wow and Nick Cannon will all participate in VH1's annual tribute to a selected group of Hip-Hop luminaries.

Stand up comedian and actor Tracy Morgan, of NBC's 30 Rock, will reprise his role as the event's host. The Roots will likely continue to serve as the official house band, Chris Rock will also make an appearance and the 25th Anniversary of the Hip-Hop film Wild Style will also be observed. Hip-Hop Honors 2007 will air October 8 at 10 p.m. EST/PST.

The show will be taped at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on October 4, and while tickets for the general public will likely be limited, fans can still get involved by participating in "The Score," which will allow an unsigned producer to work with Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson. Additionally, tickets are still available for the Hip-Hop Honors Tour, which features The Roots, Big Daddy Kane, MC Lyte and others.
