Hip-Hop 45's Poster
Records are WAY cooler than mp3's and 45's are even cooler, but posters with record labels from 45's on them are the coolest. You can find it over at rappcats.com.
Rap Treats #1: RUN DMC Live @ The Apollo (1987)
RUN DMC are without a doubt the Greatest Hip-Hop Group Of All Time. That's an official title. This is a recording of the legendary group performing live at one of the most legendary venues in the history of music. This is the whole concert AND the sound quality is bad... not bad meaning bad but bad meaning GOOD! JMJ RIP.
