TheMeaningOfDope

photo teefed from WaxPoetics.Just like the first one.

I don’t even know where to begin with this. How do I respond to one of my favourite groups reaching out to us and LACING us with unreleased gems from their archives? (super strong dookie rope shouts to B-Luv -MOD extended famalam at this point)

Contained here are several radio promo’s spanning from the 80’s to the 90’s and a Stretch & Bobbito freestyle where they PUT IN WORK over “Funky Drummer”. There’s also an unheard-before freestyle ( before they had a deal ) over several Classic breakbeats (Isaac Hayes “Ike’s Mood”,Bob James “Take me to The Mardi Gras”, the Honeydrippers “Impeach the President”) as well as the full version of the Kool DJ Red Alert promo we featured here awhile ago.

If you don’t know about JVC Force, then do the science & math and get up on game over at Unkut, where Robbie did an amazing article on them that’ll most definitely shed some light on the 3 brothers from Strong Island ,and one of the most criminally slept-on groups in rap. I gotta say, I’m glad to see that they never left and finally got their due propers with the rerelease of “Doin Damage” -their blazing first LP.
