The theme this time around is basically digging through all my endless hard drives of random music from years and years of collecting shit, and finding stuff I have no idea about. I'm also trying to find things that are at risk of being lost to time (i.e. things that aren't on YT yet lol.)
First up, a couple comps courtesy of the Music for Maniacs blog (linked in sidebar.) They have consistently uploaded some of the weirdest shit on the web, but a lot of the older links are down.
I had no idea what this even was until I did a little research. It's basically two volumes of novelty rap from the 80's and early 90's, when everybody thought rap was a 'fad' and all the white record exec lames pumped out tracks like 'Rappin' Rodney' and 'The Presidents Rap' (the latter is actually on a DJ Screw tape where it slaaaaps.)
Some of these tracks are made by 'legitimate' rappers...like Bobby Jimmy and the Critters, which is a pseudonym of Arabian Prince from NWA.

BOBBY JIMMY AND THE CRITTERS is NOT Arabian Prince. It's actually Russ Par and he's a west coast vet. He was a dj and radio personality for KDAY in Los Angeles back in the early 80s.if I'm not mistaken. However he does go waay back with Arabian Prince and Dr Dre. He's kinda of the Weird AL Yankovic of rap 👍
