Thursday Throwback

Walkin Large: Reachin’

by DJ Grain on November 19, 2009 · 12 comments

Over here in the States during the mid 90’s the hip hop culture was in it’s Golden Era, and you did not have to look far to hear a dope emcee really spittin’.  I had absolutely no idea that European rap was experiencing a similar movement that had folks tearing up microphones left and right.  So with today being Throwback Thursday, I am going to take time out to pay respect to all the emcees worldwide that can really spit but have not been heard by the masses.  Shouts to my homie Mishoo the Drumkit (Mishoo’s Blog) reppin Germany and Rwanda that turned me to these guys.

paulc

To continue today’s history lesson we bring you Paul C. McKasty aka Paul C the man behind the classic “Critical Beatdown” & “Give the Drummer Some” by the Ultramagnetic MCs (Kool Keith’s group before he went solo). He also produced the demo for a group called Simply Too Postive which later became Organized Confusion. Pete Rock, Domingo and Cut Chemist site Paul C as an influence and he served as mentor for Large Professor in the use of the E-mu SP-1200. Paul C was tragically shot to death in 1989 at the age of 24. His legacy lives in these mixes dedicated by DJ Kid Grebo feat. Prince Po of Organized Confusion.

Thanks to Nodfactor.com for the hook up.
