Don't listen to this song if you're depressed. It might make you commit suicide.

my late father was a big Billie Holliday fan.....

Only a real hip-hop head would know Mic Geronimo.

I have to post the official video. Always loved the aesthetic of early 90s hip-hop videos. No flash, all raw. I'd give up cell phones and the internet to go back to those days.

I've been a true hip hop head since the mid 80's, much thanks to the DJ Ron Nelson show every Saturday afternoon on CKLN 88.1 from 1-4. UTFO. Doug E. Fresh. Whodini. Kurtis Blow. Run DMC. Schoolly D.
I would go back in a heartbeat, loved the early 90's. Hitting up record stores and shuffling through vinyl/CD's/cassettes for hours. Pretty much all my spending money went to music, clothes and clubbing in that order.

Wow how have I never heard this one before? I know George's solo stuff. I know Gwen's solo stuff. But I never knew they did a duet.

I've posted this beauty before. Amazing tune. Right off the bat you get DJ Quik sample
"Born and Raised in Compton"

Then later on you get that haunting piano looped

"Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos".

The group that Tupac Shakur got his start with. My favorite Digital Underground tune is this one
"Flowin' on the D Line"

RIP Shock G. Rip 2Pac.
