Its been along time since we took time out of our busy schedules to make a good old Grab Bag post, so I thought I would hit you guys with one of my favorite tracks ever…

Wu-Tang Clan - Its Yourz (Listen Here)

The king of monotone with my own throne

Gang Starr - Moment Of Truth.
Whenever I listen to this track I always think of Dave Mirra’s Freestyle BMX 2, and playin as the Slim Jim guy.

I know were like three weeks late on this, but this classic is worth the wait…

De La Soul - A Little Bit Of Soap (Listen Here)

Talib Kweli & Rakim - Getting Up Anthem: Pt. 1 (Subway Surfing)

I saw a rumoured ‘Eardrum’ tracklist and it said this track was on there, even though it is from ‘Marc Ecko’s Getting Up’ video game from last year. Still a dope track.

What can I say, I been in a Pharcyde type of mood lately….

The Pharcyde - Passing Me By (Listen Here)

You can never go wrong with a little Murs….
