There are only pretty much 4 or 5 topics in hip-hop today. They are:
a) Selling coke
b) Cars (with sub-topics on rims and wood grain)
c) Girls
d) Dances
e) Taking hip-hop/NY back

Then again, that’s pretty much always been the case, only no-one used to rap about gripping wood grain in 1985 (and what a blessed relief that was) and coke back then was crack. Ah, innocent times, when a suck on the glass dick was a guaranteed boost to your sex appeal and self-esteem. In celebration of those halcyon days, we’re going to be dropping some crack classics in the coming weeks, from the familiar to the deservedly obscure. Here’s 1 of each to help you ‘Get your Winehouse off the crack’: Everyone knows the ‘87 heat from Masters of Ceremony, engineered by one Skeff Anselm. But we’ve got a soft spot for a boo named Goldie (with special appearance by Human Beat Box King Lamont ‘Kendu’ James, no less) with her little piece of 1986 Bronx magic on Real Def records…
