I'm writing today to announce that a huge portion of the Twankle & Glisten library is for sale. I'm keeping all my records and tapes, but everything else - CDs, DVDs, Books & Murderdogs are available for you to purchase. I'm offering this right now for the very very cheap price of $2 per item with the qualification that you have to buy the whole package. My motivation, more than anything else, is

Ice Mike Hey P-Poppers(????, White Lable) @ 320Does anyone know what full-length this comes from? Ice Mike's discography is an elusive thing, let alone a full list of his production creds. I think nearly everything I have posted from New Orleans recently had at least one Mike cut on it. Bonus junt "Make Em Jiggle" is a hilite, and the "Ghetto" instrumental has all the sympathetic vocal tracks in

2 tracks from Big Mike's "Hard 2 Hit" (1999) borrowed from here. I'm posting both mostly for their full-band lush funk arrangements. "Claimin Real" sounds like a prototype for that unreleased 6-Two collabo mystery wet-dream. I recommend changing the setting from 360p to 480p for a significant sound quality upgrade, I don't know why you can't default that shit, but right now you can't.

Sporty T Chromed Out(1997, Ruff Era) @ 320Wow, imagine a time when Lil Wayne had a small head. This one is heavy on Hot Boys disses which, without any actual information, I would attribute either to the similarity of group names (Hot Boys vs. Wet Boys) or to the jealousy of watching your former music partner rise up high and past you. I'll be making it a habit of upping a single representative

Nemesis Temple of Boom(1993, Profile) @ 320The gap between this post and the previous is longer than any other in T&G history. Its easier and easier for me to see how someone falls off from doing a charity share like this. Its good news in a way, it signals me doing more rewarding things with my own music instead of archiving the past. I'm an unqualified historian but an excellent organizer. I

In the process of making the next T&G cassettemix - For the Weed Smokers, and for the first time noticed this sample. Reminds me of Cee-Lo's Primus sample.

Great maximal production from Ice Mike on "Torture" and the classic "Weed Fiends" (with Magnolia Slim). He does a few other tracks on here too like the short remake of Chuck Berry's novelty hit "My Dingaling". Not that Lokee, a producer in his own right, needs any assistance - he's

More excellent prod work from "Precise" - man, my favorite thang about the guy is those lone crybaby guitar notes. Actually, zoom the thing out and its like a single line split four ways masterfully.

...Romeo is back. Have yall heard this? I haven't heard this. Recent or recent enough solo track from G-Style's Romeo. Its confusing enough that G-Style's only or just only known release was a single called Romeo. Anyways, this video's been up for a couple of years and it definitely does not have a couple years worth of views. The track's guitar-heavy production is a somewhat of a turn-off for

Gangsta Pat's "Smoke Something" & G-Style's "Gangsta" videos from the Tha Memphis Underground DVD culled from clips of Ska Faced Al Kapone's cable access show.

Which is probably why I didn't actually listen to this 12" until 3 years after purchasing it. I definitely listened to the David Banner A-side but must have lost confidence quickly. But I've seen this movie more than twice and I definitely don't remember this song's inclusion.The

This 12 doesn't capture the same timeless New Orleans vibe as the "Let's Jump" single, but its still a varied and interesting document. There seems to be a correlation between the music on his records and the oufit he wears on the front but I've haven't quite figured what it is. How similar is the

Both are good and there's plenty of other worthwhile shit before them. I recommend "Bootin Up".A greatest hits cd presupposes an existing body of releases.

Sometime recently T&G's hands-down favorite MC, Tommy Wright the third, reclaimed the TW3 market by creating the Street Smart Ebay store and stocking it full of everything we ever wanted.

Tre-8 Armageddon:The Last Day for Rappers(1999, Smoke 1) @ 320Another record traced back from that Y2K Q93 tape. The song featured there: "Get Em Rowdy" aka the Ghetto Jeopardy f/ Kangol Slimm, Mr. Cheefa & Lil E.
