So, i smashed it tonight. not looking for props or anything, but Darrel D-Flex Amarasekera and @Vincent Bong smashed the old 90’s boombap tunes at Horse Bazaar. I had me doing variations on all sorts of shit, sweat on the shirt, sweat on the floor, smashing styles, gettin’ loose. Those there witnessed the fitness, as I watched them drop the fitness on the boardwalk!

Anyways, it begins to dawn on me, i’ve been DJ’ing at a few places now, and everytime I go somewhere, the 90’s is back. It’s back in. Been in, but today’s folks, too late. It’s real dope that people are in-tune, wanna hear some classics from the heyday of the boombap, and wanna bring out the dusty shoes for a bit of the wop, the running man, the reebok, the fila, the party machine the whatever… but it seems, that this “all of a sudden” rekindled love for the 90’s old school is all a bit backward in my opinion.

i’m not saying don’t play it and i’m certainly not saying I hate it, but how bi-polar can our street culture get, Melbourne specifically, Australia more generally, that at least 5-6 years ago, people didn’t want a bar of anything before 2003. they heard something with a boombap beat and they like: “wtf is this?” and now these days, i’m getting requests from the same ginnies asking me for Tribe Called Quest? … negro what? wtf is this? Trends in this country can be summed up as: “i’m too scared to venture forth and beyond, let’s walk back to the last town, its safer.”
