Filed Under humor, top five | Leave a Comment
I’m instaling TOP FIVE FRIDAYS where I list my top five of just about anything. On the docket for this is week is my top five RAP groups. When I was a kid, rap was just starting out. It’s evolved since then but I still dig old school beats.
- Beastie Boys - “Licensed to Ill” and “Paul’s Boutique” are their finest albums.
- A Tribe Called Quest - If you don’t have their “Anthology” album, get it!
- Public Enemy - “Believe the Hype!”
- Boogie Down Productions - KRS-ONE is a self described lyrical assassin.
- Outkast - They get more acclaim for their latest stuff but their early stuff is awesome.

A rapper named Mike Jones is blowing up in a big way. He’s got mad skillz but I couldn’t understand what he was saying in his “Back Then” rap. If you’ve seen the video or heard the song you know what I’m talking about. I went on Google and found the lyrics to”Back Then.” Here’s the line that perplexed my mind:
My mind is now at ease.
