How is it that the inserts on these old bootlegs are always printed on the thinnest, facsimile-grade paper available?
Cost savings, obviously. In this particular example, they author has gone all-out, managing to squeeze-in cutting-edge slang such as ‘hottest joints’, ‘phat reworking’ and referring to dedicated rap fans as ‘heads’.
Here’s an hour of some great unofficial remixes from the mid-90s, when bootlegs were a great way to get your name (and beats) out to Joe Boombox and Jane Bookbag.
I’ll post the track listing next week so that you can enjoy the selections the first time around, live and unkut.
