My first favorite rapper of all time was Philadelphia's Schoolly D. The original gangsta of rap music. This was 1985. And the main reason I sported Fila gear for the 2nd half of the 80's and early 90's.

"Put Your Fila's On"

One of the many jams that sampled Syl Johnson's "Different Strokes"

Maestro will always be the greatest Canadian rapper ever. This is a classic. Superb sample usage of "These Eyes"

"Stick to Your Vision"

These guys are at Fallsview Casino next weekend. I wish I could be there but I will be up in cottage country.

El DeBarge and Faith Evans. Wonderful duet from 2010.
