  1. Insert – haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    but I never ever would dare say the N word!

    JJFAD – omg and 357 – double omg!
    both LA groups
    Remember Lady of Rage?

  2. Troy
    Really – Xclan is still putting music out, didn’t Prof X die recently?
    KMD – Peach Fuzz with the funky xylophone

    That was when Hip Hop was good and real and was about something – not this new crap out now!!

  3. Yeah, X-CLan makes Public Enemy look like PM Dawn.

    Now I’m picturing a little whiote girl chanting “To the East my Brother to the East”

  4. Gemini, that’s like the opening scene from Office Space where the white guy is blasting gangster rap and singing along! Too funny!

  5. Gemini,

    remember and still listen to all those you listed. Members of all those groups are still putting out music too.

    Snappy,

    I just back into X-clan last year. I was scared of those guys when they first came out.

    “slow down” is an absolute classic

  6. hahaa!
    imagine me, a lily-white 14 year old girl in Long Island listening to a group like X-clan and getting all militant about it as well?
    totally hilarious

    Brand Nubian was one of my top 5 acts of the 90’s and beyond – Slow Down is a gem

  7. X-Clan used to crack me up…remember that one song where they go:

    Black man, black woman, black baby
    White man, black woman, black baby
    Black man, white woman, black baby
    Blackness cannot be diluted!!!

    They were something else!

    And Brand Nubian’s ‘Slow Down’ is an all-time favorite!
