Guess who's back in the mother-flipping house... No After School Specials for the past two weeks, sadly. The ever reliable URF equipment clapped out again. Ah well, I hope this is worth the wait. A hour of quality rap tuneage, spanning 1987 to 2008 but focussing primarily on New York City. There's a little streaming glitch in the midst of my Jay-Z as David Beckham theorising: I was explaining how Jigga is like late-period Becks... Not necessarily the most talented or glamourous figure anymore, but someone who knows their limitations and who, with dogged determination, affable good humour and brilliant business cunning, is able to shine nonetheless. So now you know.As per a previous request, I'm going to start adding helpful, informative tracklistings to these posts, so listen, read and enjoy...
