BLIND I SAYS GO! SEPTEMBER 2009

Back when your boy was still in school, September was the time to start gearing up for long nights and plenty of reading, running back & forth around this wonderful city of Chicago, and bundling up for the crisp autumn air with a good playlist on my iPod. With that era in mind, I’ve compiled a thorough list of twenty-one tracks as crisp as that autumn air is to create the September ’09 edition of Blind I Says GO! This joint has a lot of different vibes in it…some new joints, some vintage, some rarities, ALL dope. Grab it, check the tracklisting after the jump, and rock with it for the month to come.

TIME 2 ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE

Yup!! It seems the older I get the more I appreciate schitt that I always appreciated, but on a totally differnt level. Maybe because the game is saturated with bullshit all recylcing the same bullshit over and over…but case n fuckin point… Since Lupe’s whole scenario (no pun intended) I feel it necessary since I got this site to edumacate those not fully in the know of some of our greats.

OK was the group back in the day! Growing up in a thriving Los Angeles hip hop scene that was all about Freestyle Fellowship as far as “styling” was concerned, OK was the east coast version of that for me (as well as L.O.N.S. Time album cuz they were pretty much all battling each other which made for a powerful album …STILL SLEPT ON!!!)

Prince Poetry & Pharoahe Monch have gone on to do solo schitts since then (Monch more so than Po) & continue to deliver the goods.

It is only right to showcase one of the most slept on underrated groups of our time.

I give you the Organized Konfusion catalog.

again… if u got some schitt that’s not listed, leave a link to it in the comments.
