    Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
    so i can climb up and climb into your underwear

    I think we can safely say that this is the best album released by a bunch of crackers and it’s unlikely to ever be topped (with an honourable mention to Bubba’s Deliverance, of course)

    Shadrach, High Plains Drifter, B-Boy Bouillabaisse, Car Thief, What Comes Around, Hey Ladies, Looking Down The Barrel.. > anything on Licensed To Ill.

    And Posse In Effect is the best song on the debut.

    i was gonna call my first son Shadrach but not after that track, rather a pathetic looking straight-to-dvd highland fantasy of the same name.

    and furthermore,

    what pauls boutique track ever got played at a jam that wasn’t for skateboarders ?

    i did buy “hey ladies”, on the same day i copped dont believe the hype and tuff crew “my part of town” if i’m not mistaken but despite thinking i was ad-rock in 87 and letting that ish rock til my tape popped, i have never even listened to the whole of Boutique.

    Obviously there’s no point downloading it and listening now cause it’s too late so I’ll just have to let it lie.

    Well, nobody played it anywhere as it was universally slept on/had its thunder stolen by 3 Feet High And Rising but i don’t think whether it got played at any UK hip hop jams is a good litmus test for the quality of the music as most UK hip hop fans are morons and this country has famously slept on lots of classic next-shit that people couldn’t get their heads around at the time (Doggy Style, Outkast pre-Stankonia etc).

    And i dare say that Uk hip hop jams in 1989/1990 would’ve been a whole lot better if tunes like Shadrach were getting play instead of shit records by Blade.

    all i can say to that is you must not be from nottingham cause our jams used to play all the correct and proper tunes, you better axe somebody.
