just read this/watched this today. i’d heard about MB in college but never seen/heard them. never thought that the 90s look and sound would carry so much nostalgia, but there it is. great post.

Community is my favorite MB song too. Shit changed my life. I owe alot to that joint, and to what the MBs did in general.

Your comment on "younger heads" got me thinking about my old head. Back when I started college sometime in the 19th century, I remember using e-mail and doing unspeakable things to my computer. Back in high school, I remember tying up the phone line while dialing in on my (holy shit) 14.4 Kbps modem to a bulletin board service to write e-mail. Of course, back then you had to pay for e-mail. But I didn't pay. I mean I didn't know anybody else with e-mail anyway.

From a musical perspective, back in high school, I was trying my hand at classical piano and I thought hip hop was an art form for neanderthals only. How young and naive I was. Thanks to hip hop, I'm reminded that others share my views and my ideals. And that being an AA male isn't such a lonely experience after all.
