Philly has always been the most ignored city when it comes to hip hop contribution....some classic shit and unfuckwitable dj's and mc's have come out of Philly and it's criminal how they always get overlooked or mentioned in a matter-of-fact manner....maybe its because Philly is not bitchin' and moanin' like all these other cities...

That's my shit. I missed out on the LP the other day but found the tape at the thrift. I BOUGHT IT. Shit is dope. But my essential is







Scholly D - Gangster Boogie / Maniac 12"

"On the corner selling some weed, then came along a sucker MC he said "yo holmes wassup wit dat, uh can I cop me a nickel bag", a nickel bag is 5.99 ... and then I layed down this MC rhyme."







Great 12" I got the yellow label one. Arons had about 5 of them one day but my stupid ass got one. Could've easily flipped them for more. Oh well.

Comin' up in the '80s, Philadelphia got coverage b/c of the high profile DJs from that city enjoyed: Jazzy Jeff, Cash Money, etc. - felt that b/c of that spotlight, its MCs were relegated to the shadows; other than Schooly, the only other notable Philadelphia (rap) name whom I was aware of around early on was MC Breeze's 'The Discombobulator,' which I purchased durin' a summer road trip to the city: Sounds of Market - met DJ Tat $ who was an employee of the store @ the time...

While we're talking about Philly, does anybody have any info on the Hilltop Hustlers? Who all was down with them, who released music, what really went down with Steady and Cool C.








Oh yeah, and we can't forget MIZ & TAT MONEY!
