My only regret is that I spent hundreds (thousands?) of dollars when we were knocking on the door of really figuring out how to steal music. So if you found yourself in Evansville, Indiana circa 1998 and passed a 1987 red Nissan Stanza with three MTX Blue Thunder subwoofers in the back and heard the unmistakable stylings of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, that may have been your (future) favorite Phoenix Suns blogger. Yes friends, I was the guy that bought every single Wu-Tang album, regardless of how flimsy the artists’ relationship with Wu-Tang Clan proper may have been. Now, it’s important to note, and pay attention otherwise you won’t be able to follow the narrative, I’ve included some releases from 19 on the Wu-Tang list. Prime Suspects - Guilty ‘til Proven InnocentĪnd because this is what quarantined NBA blogging looks like, I reviewed the Wu-Tang releases:
Snoop Dogg - Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told Here’s what No Limit Records released in 1998: You’d buy them on Tuesday afternoon after school.
Didn’t have to hear a single word off the album or read a single review. And there were clowns who bought those albums. And that’s with my discount as a Circuit City customer service associate.Īt their respective peaks if feels like these factions were cranking out an album every week. And maybe it was only a thing because I could only afford to buy one CD at a time. Like the Miami Dolphins / Buffalo Bills rivalry.įurthermore, I’ll concede that perhaps that only existed in my corner of southwestern Indiana. If only briefly.ĭid you forget that sliver of time in music’s history? I understand. Once upon a time, before fans of rap music were forced to choose between Jay Z and Nas, but after fans were forced to choose between 2Pac and Biggie, there was a much less heralded rivalry that existed. Here’s how I’m filling the time: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO Which is fine I guess, because I wear a 7 5/8 and haven’t had a haircut since January 28th so it probably wouldn’t fit anyway. Truthfully, outside of Vegas Golden Knights games and the monthly or so brunch, my day-to-day has not changed all that significantly.īut I think it’s the idea that I cannot go to certain places, or shouldn’t go to certain places that creates the biggest mental hurdle.ĭo I want to swing by my local sporting apparel retailer to see if any of the Phoenix Suns hats have been marked down to five dollars? No. This quarantine/lockdown/stay-at-home-order/shelter-in-place whatever it’s called, is not going well.
