Rap Treats #15: Wu-Tang Clan on Tim Westwood (1997)
This is another classic radio interview from Ol Dirty Bastard, RZA and Method Man from back in 1997 when they were on Tim Westwood's show on Radio 1 Wu-Tang 1. This clip is close to 20 minutes long and nobody raps, but it's pretty funny shit to hear ODB go off like only ODB can.

The Evolution Of Nike's Air Jordan
This is a little old but super dope for Jordan and sneaker heads. It's a short film about the evolution of the Air Jordan sneaker. Tons of Mars Blackman and Micheal Jordan footage including interviews, behind the scenes stuff, commercials, retirement, making of the shoes, and even Jordan's ill fated baseball era. IT'S GOTTA BE THE SHOES!
Do The Right Thing On Sesame Street
Ernie as Mookie, Bert as Radio Raheem, Oscar The Grouch as Da Mayor, Big Bird as Buggin' Out, Mr. Hooper as Sal, The Count as Mister Senor Love Daddy. This is humorous. Fight The Power.

Rap Treats #12: Original, Rare and Unreleased 2
Boogie Down Productions (1985)
This is some pre Criminal Minded BDP. Pretty much a don't smoke crack PSA. The sound is very mid 80's and you can tell that they hadn't found that boom bap yet.
Big Daddy Kane feat. Kool G. Rap (1987)
Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. The Kool Genius of Rap goes in on this one and destroys the beat. I heard that G. Rap went off because Kane had a girl in the studio and he wanted to show him up. Kane and G. Rap had a friendly rivalry, they were homies but always wanted to one up each other. This is one of those times.
Simply II Positive MC's aka Organized Konfusion (1989)
This is from the tape that got OK signed to Hollywood Basics, but for some reason it took another two years for them to release any music on the label. This joint was produced by Paul C who was murdered the same year.
Spectrum City aka Public Enemy (1984)
"Check Out The Radio"
This was an actual 12inch release on Vanguard Records. Before they were Public Enemy, Chuck D and the Shocklee brothers were a DJ crew called Spe

2Pac & Snoop
Not sure the year this was recorded but it was def during the Death Row years. I'm feeling Pac's usage of KRS' at the beginning of the song. According to Pac this is all freestyle.

Rap Treats #11: Beastie Boys - Licensed To Ill (Original Version)
This is the first version of the classic Beastie Boys album Licensed To Ill. There are 2 extra songs, although "Scenario" sounds like doo doo which makes me think it was just added on. However, "I'm Down" sounds like it was supposed to be on the album. It also sounds like it was a good idea they cut it from the album originally (the song is cool, but not that cool). Some songs have slightly different lyrics, different ending, or different adlibs. Also, as you can see by the photo, Gene Simmons was the forth member of the Beastie Boys back then.

1. Rhymin' & Stealin'
(extra dialogue on end)
2. The New Style
