Robbie just hipped me to this interview the King from Queens did with some kooky UK morning show around 12 years ago. If you recall around that time, a Jason Nevins remix of “It’s Like That” brought the group back on the international radar. Witness a docile DMC, an aggy Run and an always calm-under-pressure-no-need-to-act-ill, Jam Master Jay in what would be the beginning of the group’s end.

Here’s another street vid from Rawse from a song that most definitely shoulda made Deeper Than Rap. Exit Foxy Brown collab. And insert this one.

The voice of Reflection Eternal takes you back in the latest from VIBE‘s 60/60 series:

“Me and Hi-Tek had a little EP called Ground Ish [and] I was trying to get them to put out the first song from that and by mistake I played the song Fortified Live from my cassette tape. I wasn’t even trying to play that record in the meeting and they heard it and they were like, ‘What’s that?’ And I said, “Oh, this some shit we working on” and it wasn’t mixed or nothing. They was like, “’We can put that out right now and we can give you a video.’ And that was my first record with them.”

That joint was hot.

Here’s the reunited crew performing their biggest hit at a recent show at The Filmore. I’m old enough to recall when this tune tickled the ladies fancies like the “Best I Ever Had”. Do you remember the time?

Pardon: The somewhat shaky camera work.

Here’s a leak, (no pun intended) off Chester The Molester’s upcoming The Demo Tape with DJ Skee and DJ Drama. After a quick listen, I’m starting to believe Robert’s best days are behind him.
