NO KNOWS DOPE | NO KNOWS NOSTALGIA | MAY 20XI

So this was an idea I had back in 2007. $ even made me a cover & everything & I never put it out. I decided to pull from that & make this to give y’all for this months edition of NKD, thus we going back in time, to a place where I was coming up as a MC I bumped the schitt outta everything on this edition. Broken tape decks & everythang! This past Saturday I was up @ my DJ W1shOne’s Audio Playground all day working on a mix of this for y’all but was not able to complete it the way I wanted to within such a short time, thus, expect a mix with songs that are not on this to be intertwined with some of these songs & more a lil down the road this year. Ill drop it randomly so stay TUNEd for that. Until then, go inside my mind/ears & enjoy some NOstalgia.

TL & DL after the after…

CLASSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: JERU THE DAMAJA-ME OR THE PAPES

Three years ago, this was the FIRST thing I ever posted on Blind I. Dope song and clever video. Always a classic in my book.

“Cause ain’t no fiends coming in between me and my dreams, see what I mean black?!”

While Queens Stand By You…

For some reason, this song just felt appropriate today.
A little Friday flavor from Jeru the Damaja. Oh, how I love my (adopted)borough! Brooklyn stand UP!

Bitches like you ain’t shit to me/
And don’t talk about R-E-S-P-E-C-T,
‘Cause I treat my Black sisters like royalty
