Dawgisht:

Hell yeah Billlaaaaaay... like ALF said, this is the shit that kept me somewhat sane thru high school. Used to bring my tapes to class and read the liner notes.

I'll bet you've still got the video for that APG track in the vault... it was shot at either Eastmont or MacArthur/Broadway Mall if I remember right... and only place it ever showed was on Soul Beat (RIP).

Seeya next month!
