Old School Weekly


so...im gonna start a new series called "Old School Weekly". Every Friday im gonna post an ol school joint...and by me saying "old school" im not meaning "ah man, you remember that old Bone and Biggie track?"...NO!...i mean "OLD SCHOOL" the artist that weren't on major labels who inspired, "biggie, Bone, 2Pac, Jay-Z...old school. so with out further do...here's the first "Old School Weekly" feature..

Trends Of Culture: 1993
Aside from one well-received single in 1995,Trends Of Culture more or less disappeared after releasing a first-rate piece of music in the form of their 1993 album, Trendz. The LP makes an inferior, but worthy, companion piece to contemporaneous releases like Enter The Wu-Tang and Black Moon’s Enta Da Stage. Trendz is a dark yet lively record that playfully glorifies a mildly sociopathic lifestyle. Emcee Nastee is the standout member of the trio, combining an uninhibited musical delivery with the braggadocio of Lord Finesse. The other members, Grapevine and M.O.L., also hold their own as rappers and while they may not be as compelling or vocally gifted as Nastee, they each have several moments of great rhyming. M.O.L., the album’s primary producer, uses clever breaks and samples from the world of 70’s jazz and 80’s R&B to create a mood that is both melodic and rugged. The songs on Trendz display a variety of flavors without making the album feel disjointed, and as a result things stay interesting throughout, from “Mad Flavor Mad Styles,” a funky party record, to the hazy and bleak “Crotch Ripper/Mad Speaker.”
