Nice to see other people remember these dudes. They were pretty huge in LA for a minute so the confusion's not surprising. Bishop's debut is going through typical label fuckery. I have an LA Weekly piece coming out on the 25th that explains the situation further. Definitely check for that. LBC Crew. That was dope too. I own that on cassingle. They are definitely fit for a mini-profile as well. Thanks for the kind words. Nice to see other people remember these dudes.

I was just bumpin' "Talkin' Bout Bank" on my mp3 player the past few days. What an obscure oldie but a goodie eh? I must confess I thought they were from LA, not Oakland. I still have their CD single. I don't remember at all when I was a teenager how the hell I bought it in the first place, but still a random classic. My friends and I always loved to jokingly use the "Break yoself playa...fat lumps baby" phrase. And yes I am a white guy from the 'burbs. PASADENA! WHERE YOU AT! haha. When is Bishop Lamont's Aftermath debut dropping? He is extremely talented as evidenced by his mixtapes. And I love that he comes from the street scene but also has that backpacker side, too. He's collabo'ed with another guy I'm a big fan of, Trek Life. Maybe it already came out, since I'm out in Korea and not really up on the haps in hip hop lately other than LAX dropped and Dr. Dre's son died. Here's another random reference for you. LBC Crew - Somebody Somewhere Best Beware of My Crew. Or maybe it was just called Beware of my Crew. Another CD single in the same bangin' vein. I think they became Tha Eastsiderz? Tray D and Goldie Loc? My memory is bad. Cool blog! I'm too lazy to read blogs regularly but I'll try to check in for amazing and random tidbits like this. Keep up the good work. :) Tim Holy sh*t, what a strange coincidence. I was just bumpin’ “Talkin’ Bout Bank” on my mp3 player the past few days. What an obscure oldie but a goodie eh?

When I was re-watching these videos Clipse were the first name that came to mind. Except these guys were doing it six years earlier and didn't write the same exact song over and over again. Agreed.
