Say hey, people people. Time for another round of dusty digging as we return once again to the wonderful world of cassingles. Submitted for your approval: two quality cassettes spanning a decade I like to call the 90’s. It was a good one. And if you were tape-copping back in those dulcet days, maybe you’ve still got these in that shoebox under your bed. So without further ado, let’s break out the beats.

Welcome, gentle reader, to part three of our further foray into low fidelity, as we delve ever deeper into the hallowed, hissy halls of cassingle history. Today we’ll keep it short and sweet with a couple of loose gemstones from once upon a time. So let’s put on our seat belts, don our protective headgear, and set the dial on the way-back machine for 1995. All strapped in? Then press the big red button, and we’re off! Wait, not that big red button!! Noooooooo!!!! (more…)

All kinds of crazy my friends. All kinds. Where to start..well. Happy New Year and shit..
1. Arizona. A month ago RC and I packed up the ride and headed east to unusually freezing cold AZ…. glass cutting nipples cold. Our good friend and fellow HBH’er Pickster was celebrating his birthday and as any other superbadass DJ should, by debuting his sweet ass new project Crusher Sound System. We stayed a couple days soaking in the scene fueled by booze and some good ol medicinal herbert…along with a few handfuls of our good friend Valium. The weekend went over in spectacular fashion and we packed back up to head back to Cali. (more…)

I had to get up on this. I’m well aware of Grand Grandito’s epic cassingle collection and I wanted to share a couple gems that I had laying around as well.. while I no longer have my Ini Kamozi “Hot Stepper” cassingle, or my Coca-Cola Sampler Tape that featured such artists as Dana Dane and 3rd Bass, I do have these few from the end of the cassingle era… first up…

Say hey. Welcome to the inaugural edition of Back in the Day, a forum for talkin’ ’bout days gone by. Of course, “back in the day” means different things to different folks. For me, “back in the day” refers mainly to the golden era of rap music released during my school years (junior-high all the way through college)…for me, that’d be roughly ‘87 through ‘98. You know, the Walkman years. This is not to exclude the eras prior or post, both of which were good to me and my music collection…it’s just a personal generalization.
At any rate, one of the important features of my own golden era was a diamond in the rough called the cassette single or maxi-single, known to all as the cassingle. (more…)

Damn, son! It’s 2008…we officially live in the future. Where’s my flying car??!! Being actively suppressed by Big Oil, that’s where. But I digressify. The burning question on everyone’s lips (ow, my lips are burning!) is “What’s on the controversial and ever-popular pull list for Wednesday?” And yes, we are back to Wednesday for a while. Thank the Lords of Kobol. OK, kids. Are you all tucked in? Then heeeere we go! (more…)
