40 years ago today... RUN-DMC stepped on stage at "Live Aid" wearing their Adidas 🔥 #LiveAid40

Private Eye hits the nail on the head

Discogs Shuffle #35 Brownstone I Can’t Tell You Why 12” (1994) Purchased purely for the ‘If You Love Me’ remix on the flip, featuring Craig Mack, but actually a decent single in its own right. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #brownstone #rnb #hiphop

Discogs Shuffle #34 Jungle Brothers Straight Out The Jungle (1988) Really not being very consistent in posting these, but here’s a hip hop classic from @junglebrothers.bsky.social which kicked off the whole Native Tongues era for me. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #hiphop #junglebrothers

Discogs Shuffle #33 Foxy Brown I’ll Be 12” (1996) I’m properly falling behind with these, but this was a great single and the D&A Remix here always went down well, felt like Foxy Brown was on a roll at this point. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #foxybrown #hiphop

Discogs Shuffle #32 Taylor Swift 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (2023) Technically from my wife’s side of the collection, but I can’t lie, there are some bangers on here. Ironically, teenage me from 1989 would be embarrassed to read this. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #taylorswift #pop

New summer single for your soul: The Allergies - 'Coming On Strong' theallergies.lnk.to/ComingOnStrong

Another #discogs delivery today, been wanting a copy of this for a while so grabbed it quickly when I saw it come up. Classic NYC hip hop. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #screwball #y2k #hiphop #queensbridge

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Discogs Shuffe #31 Simple Minds Glittering Prize 81/92 (1992) Another one from my wife’s side of the collection, a greatest hits compilation with some absolute classics on it. Love the printed inner as well, miss those. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #simpleminds #glitteringprize

it’s quite funny that my 15yo thinks the music being made now is the best music in the world and my 80yo dad thinks the best music in the world was made when *he* was 15, but the *actual* best music in the world, empirically, was made when *i* was 15. they both look so stupid lol

Discogs Shuffle #30 R.E.M. Monster (1994) One from my wife’s collection today, have to admit I only knew one song from this before listening to it but it’s a solid record that I’ll definitely go back to. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #rem #monster

Discogs Shuffle #29 Tha Alkaholiks Daaam! 12” (1994) Great single taken from their second album, the remix is good but can’t match the original’s funky bassline for me. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #thaliks #likwitcrew #hiphop

Discogs Shuffle #28 The Beatnuts Street Level (1994) Such a great record, this felt like a group hitting the top of their game despite all the chaos behind the scenes. I was buying anything with their name in the credits at this point. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #thebeatnuts #hiphop

Discogs Shuffle #27 Boyz II Men Vibin’ Remixes 12” (1994) Basically a pair of ‘94 east coast posse cuts with Boyz II Men on the hook, featuring a Who’s Who of the biggest rappers of the mid 90’s. Felt like a bigger deal at the time. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #boyziimen #rnb

Discogs Shuffle #26 SWV Anything 12” (1994) Not sure who signed off on this awful cover art, but it’s all about the Wu-Tang guest appearance on the remix here. Such a great track. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky

Discogs Shuffle #25 Brandy I Wanna Be Down 12” (1994) Picked this up on the word of the guy in my local record store, which along with magazine reviews & late night radio shows, was pretty much the way I found new music back then. Classic debut. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #brandy #rnb

Discogs Shuffle #24 Sparkz & Pitch 92 Full Circle (2024) More homegrown UK hip hop, two of Manchester’s finest dropped this LP last year. Still in regular rotation, these two sound so good together. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #sparkz #pitch92 #hiphop #ukhiphop

"These tapes and the underground, tape-trading economy played a vital role in documenting and spreading the music nationwide." How Cassettes and Tape-Trading Shaped Hip-Hop’s Early Years: www.spin.com/2024/02/cass...

Discogs Shuffle #23 Gunshot Mind Of A Razor 10” (1994) Gunshot stand tall as legends of the early UK hip hop scene, defining the ‘britcore’ sound alongside Hijack, Son Of Noise, etc. Should be played LOUD! #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #gunshot #hiphop #ukhiphop #britcore #ripalkaline

Discogs Shuffle #22 Edan Primitive Plus (2002) Classic debut from Edan, I think I first got into him through one of his mixtapes (either Fast Rap or his Funky Drummer one) and been a fan ever since. A great record. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #edan #primitiveplus #hiphop

Discogs Shuffle #21 Blackstreet U Blow My Mind 12” (1994) Bought this for the remix with the Craig Mack sample, which always went off whenever I played it out. #vinyl #discogs #vinylsky #musicsky #blackstreet #rnb
