HDD Radio #30: '90s Rap CD Mix

Here's the 30th espisode of HotDogDayz Radio. Despite all the new changes in his life, Nathan somehow managed to put together a two hour playlist of rap songs from the '90s. Not your typical '90s rap mix though. Sure, you'll hear some of the usual suspects here, but he plays a lot of deep cuts and stuff from less-popular albums. And all off of CDs too. Hey, you gotta do something with them, right? Here's what he had to say about it...

"Yo, I don't hate on new rap cuz I aint tryna be some grandpa. But the last thing Imma pay any attention to is some wack-ass beef between Meek (his early mixtapes were fire tho) and Drake, who's known to be S A W F T saaawwwft.

I was driving down 38th last weekend with the fam listening to KMOJ and telling my wife about missing MCA and Guru (she prolly wan't listening though. Who could blame her, I'm hella long-winded) when I saw a dude on one side of the street rocking a Carolina blue beaded necklace with a Jordan Jumpman logo hanging from it, and another guy on the other side of the street sporting cholo-style with a throwback brown Padres jersey.

I got mad inspiration from that moment. So I decided to make this '90s rap mix."

Hard beats, rhymes, and cuts; forties, blunts, and baggy-ass clothes; Jeeps, JVCs, and bucket hats. Yeah, you know the deal. Check it out, and if inclined to do so, please send him some feedback. Twitter: @OMG_NOB. Bang your head to this. Peace!
