"It's not old school 'cause we are not old and we ain't at school"-Tim Westwood

I had a genuine, and rare, WTF moment when I first heard this on Peel. One of the few times when I've heard something totally unlike anything that went before it.

(Grandmaster Flash/The Adventures Of...)

and we must be in school cos this guy thinks he's the teacher:

(KRS One/ Marley Marl -This Is What It Is)

(De La Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays)

And for good measure:

(Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard)

But alarmingly tasteful so far. Allow me to lower the tone

And something a little mellower, Heavy D & The Boys, Peaceful Journey.

A little reflective G-Funk as the day draws to a close

(Ice Cube/Today Was A Good Day)

Were supposed to do a live gig in Brighton, They walked into the venue demanded a Led Zep style PA and said no DJ could use that equipment. Step forward ,DJ Cut Le Roc who blew them off stage using said Shit equipment . They stormed off in a huff refusing to do the gig only to return later to try to get paid, total arses.
A week later we had Kid 'n'Play. Absolute joy to work with.
