There's so much to say.  The same things keep being said.  Loops and recycled and time after time and again and again.  There's absolutely nothing left to say.  All of these moments, periods, and times in this existence seem so new at the present but history shows none of it is new and the only thing known of the future is we will ultimately repeat the past.  Hilarious we are we humans.  So importantly unimportant.  Even in this useless written rhetoric some times out of nowhere for no apparent reason an old new emerges and what was will never be again and what will be is something no one can predict and for the most part understand until quite a bit of time later.  88 serves this as fact and very true.  In 88 a slightly new building block was formed and through its development life and the world as it was known prior to would ultimately be something different moving forward.  YOU GONNA GET YOURZ!  WPI is just letting you know ahead of time back before when it was already.... 😊  Enjoy!   

In this episode of We Play It BK (The Coldest Dun Datta, The Sweetest Sade Remix Slide In Creator, & The Classic 1 Time 80's Cut Throat W/A Butter Knife Champion) and Adui Yako (AY The Wide Nose Bandit) let loose in a time of times in era of a kind like none other and they peel off what it was really like to hear some of the illest hip hop in the year of 1988.  Terminator X, Mc Shan, Marley Marl, DJ K-ROCK, DJ Aladdin, and the list can literally go on and on.....  Heavy weights, true big shot, and shot callers--- the game was wide open and a slew of greats stepped in to play.  Imagine rap music prior to 88.  It was pretty clear and defining most of it was not very hard to do.  Imagine nothing that was created in 1988 as far as rap music goes and tell me what would rap/hip hop sound like?  You can't do it.  It's impossible.  It's like asking what if Jimi Hendrix never played his guitar and what would rock music ultimately sound like or what if Coltrane never played the sax?  It's other-like dimensional.  Angle-less and without walls so no room to even build off of or into.  So we won't and thank whatever or whomever we don't have to worry about any of those scenarios.  1988 WE ALL GOT OURZ whether one knew it or not.  Salute!  All the trax played were snip bits from arguably the greatest year in hip hop.  PE, KRS-1, NWA, BIZ MARKIE, ERIC B and RAHKIM, JUNGLE BROTHERS, BIG DADDY KANE, MC LYTE, SLICK RICK, EPMD, ICE-T, RUN DMC, and a plethora of other musical hip hop geniuses during this ridiculous year of music for rap.  The actual boundary lines of what rap/hip hop music could be and do and where it could go and who could listen to it and who could rep it or share it or whatever was officially erased in 1988.  Real Shit!  Nothing would be the same ever again...
