CLASSIC: ST. IDES COMMERCIAL COMPILATION

Fuck Colt 45, St. Ides is for the kids! All jokes aside, St. Ides put together a super thorough promotional campaign back in the day with Dr. Dre to push their malt liquor sales to the then-blossoming hip-hop crowd. Looking back on it philosophically, it was a total brainwashing tool to get inner-city youth to drink and drink heavy, but at least some good ass music came out of it, right? I suppose we’ll all have our own opinions on that, but while you think about it, check out Eric B. & Rakim on Real Men Drink (lol @ that song title, there’s many more like it on this comp) and indulge in that O.E.! Lol!

BLIND I SAYS GO! AUGUST 2009

What’s good Blind I faithful?! This past month has been dope experience after dope experience for me, and it’s totally reflected in the way this month’s Blind I Says GO! came out. We’ve dealt with some major losses, made some major gains, but the beauty in it all is that the music sticks around long after we’re gone. I decided to go all out and do a double-disc of new shit, new artists, old gems & unreleased material, all working perfectly to create something dope to ride to and bound to surprise you. So without further ado, indulge thine self and partake in the splendor that is Blind I Says GO August 2009!
