I miss when hip hop was done right..

BRA, did you ever check out Dr. Octagon?

"Dr. Octagonecologyst is the debut solo album of American rapper Keith Thornton (Kool Keith) and the first album he released under the alias Dr. Octagon. It was released May 6, 1996.

Dr. Octagonecologyst introduces the character of Dr. Octagon, a homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist and surgeon. The album's distinctive sound crosses genres such as psychedelic, electronic music, and trip hop. Thornton's lyrics are often abstract, using surrealism, non-sequiturs, and juvenile humor. The unique sound and lyrics of Dr. Octagonecologyst helped revitalize alternative and underground hip hop, gaining more attention than any contemporary independent hip hop album in quite a while.

Although it did not sell enough copies to reach the mainstream music charts, the album was received with many positive reviews and a considerable amount of recognition. Thornton's lyrics and Nakamura's production in particular were highly praised, as was DJ Qbert's innovative scratching. Dr. Octagonecologyst has since been ranked as one of the best hip hop albums of the 1990s."

I remember when a buddy handed me a copy of Dr. Octagonecologist and the first time I listened to it, it totally blew my mind.  One of the best albums nobody has ever heard of, IMO.

Oh, you know it man..Super good shit..I have seen him live, and it was fucking kick ass..
He is an actual mental patient, which I believe is the only way to explain some of his songs..Normal people don't have stuff like that in there brains..

On another note..John Bonham probably had more influence on hip hop than most that were ever involved with it..

Phil, I don't listen to those waffirs, I listen to shit like this...

Springbok Nude girls used to be quite the panty dropping crew in Stellenbosch when I was in College. Its nice that bands can get famous and still have time to cram into a tiny venue to entertain their true fans (for free "nogal"). I doubt you could do the same, then again, I doubt much pantie dropping goes on at a "Mr. Lucky" shindig... jes saying mate

Well...

him and Clyde Stubblefield

listen to the drum lines on all four.  Infact play them all at the same time.  There are probably a 100 other hip hop and rap songs that use Funky Drummer.   You probably knew this already but I figured the trivia would be fun for everyone else.
