Review:
New group from SF... They hail from the Hunter's Point area... This lp actually pretty cool if you're into the Bay Area/ SF sound.. Tracks like Fiending For The Funk and Browsing are the one's that standout..

Title:Me So Horny-125bpm
Label:[Luke Records]
Date:10/1/89
Type:12 INCH
Style:Miami Bass/ booty/ club
Review:
A classic and very popular Miami Bass style song that skillfully samples from the Mass Construction song 'Fire Cracker'... The other sample which is contained in the hook.. where the lady says 'Me So Horny..Me love you long time' is taken from a movie... This song was gets played a lot in dance clubs.... and frat parties

A classic from the proteges of DJ Quik... This bass ladden track was more of a mid tempo club jam then a rap song... It was the track that put 2nd II None on the map..... Great instrumental to mix with....

2PAC
Title:I Get Around-96bpm
Label:[Interscope]
Date:1/1/93
Type:12 INCH
Style:WC Rap/ Bay Area
Review:
This was one of 2Pac's biggest songs.. It was produced by Shock G and was originally supposed to be on the Digital Underground lp.. Instead Shock gave it to 2Pac and the rest is history... FYI.. Tommy Boy records was furious about this... The lyrics are tight... Money B is also featured with Shock and 2Pac... The song went onto to be a pop record here in the Bay Area

2PAC
Title:Keep Your Head Up-84bpm
Label:[Interscope]
Date:1/1/93
Type:12 INCH
Style:WC Rap/ Bay Area/ political
Review:
This was the flipside of 'I Get Around'.. This track may have been an even bigger song.. It's strength is highlighted by 2Pac's introspective, socially conscious look at things.. 2Pac speaks out passionately about the importance of respecting women.. The song borrows from the classic song 'La La' by the Dells...
