To all my SERIOUS 90s HIP HOP LOVERS, I got something REAL SPECIAL for you. I need you to mentally and spiritually time travel with me. Strap up those Polo boots, Eastlands, or Gortex joints with THE SPIKES. Lace up your Hirachis or those iconic Airmax 95s (Pronounced Nine Fives). Throw on your Polo teddy sweater with the matching tee underneath. Better yet, if you really about that life, reach deep into the archive and pull out that Polo INDIAN HEAD sweater (I’M SO FLY!) with the damage jeans. Top it off with the Gap fisherman long brim cap sitting sssooo low it kisses your cheekbones like a secret only the block knows. You need somewhere to stash your TAPES, right? So throw on that Jansport—the BIG ONE WITH THE SUEDE ON THE BOTTOM. Make sure the strings are perfectly puffed out like you just stepped out of a mixtape cover shoot. Then take a breath, align your spirit with the rhythm, and click the link to a FIVE HOUR COMMERCIAL FREE POSTING OF FUNK MASTER FLEX’s 90s MIX hosted on music journalist Peter Rosenberg’s blog. Rosenberg has audio of the entire five hour set. IT’S CRAZY!!! I’M OUTTY 5000. NEED TO GO BUILD WITH THE GODS. PEACE OUT SON!
*TWO FINGERS IN THE AIR* PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST
(HOW MESSED UP IS IT THAT IT STILL HITS THAT HARD IN 2025?)
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS HERE IF YOU HAVE THEM, WOULD LOVE TO READ WHAT YOU THINK.

UPDATE
OMG, BIG BIG BIG THANX to Ms. Dooright for sending me the vid of Arsenio Hall’s last show Hip Hop cipher with EVERYONE THAT MATTERED. I have always felt in my soul that this cipher hit so much harder than YO! MTV RAP’s final one. It was not just who was in the room. It was what they brought with them. It was legacy. It was grief. It was joy. It was the streets and the studio speaking the same language. All I can say is WWWOOOWWW!!!

That was a crazy cypher, but you have to give it up to Yo MTV raps, Meth and Redman did their thing.
KRS-ONE: NOTHING ELSE NEED BE SAID.
