Since this week’s recurring motif seems to be, songs that I owned on cassingle, why not Domino’s “Sweet Potato Pie,” which narrowly missed the cut of my G-Funk mix in favor of the Long Beach rapper’s other hit, “Geto Jam.” God knows what happened to this dude, he pretty much fell off the earth after his pretty good, eponymous debut and I’m guessing he didn’t make it to Stanford with Ahmad. So yeah, anyone who knows what this guy’s up to, please fill me in, well, other than maintaining the world’s worst Myspace page and presumably running a lucrative yam and yam-related products company.

Two things:
(1) Wow, Domino! Thanks for taking me back. Definitely had one of his hits on cassingle. (Or on a Memorex cassette or some shit taped off of Power 106 or 92.3 The Beat)
(2) And cassingle. Ah, can not get enough of this word. Seriously. Remember how a lot of cassingles would have the radio edit and/or album cut on Side A and then the instrumental and/or a remix on Side B? It was almost like protocol to do so.
