For sensitive gums, my dentist told me to rub the (sensitivity) toothpaste directly on my gums before going to bed. The toothpaste builds up the tissue.

My bad, yes the power cypher 96 mixtape!

Mixtape era Canibus. You should also revisit the DJ Tony Touch 50 mixtapes that featured freestyles from the emcees of that era.

You should dive into his influences from the 90s: Large Professor, Q-Tip, Pete Rock.

If the 00s, definitely Madlib

Should we blame canibus or wyclef?

In college Xzibit’s What U See is What U Get blew my mind due to its faked one shot style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gddQhQnwZIY.

New Gravediggaz???

Reaper (CW)

On top of that the Bay is also close to central valley farms for fresh fruit & vegetables

Ice Cube-No Vaseline

Tim Dog-F*ck Compton

DJ Quik-Dollaz & Sense

Canibus-Second Round Knockout

Common-Bitch in You (Cube stays in beef 😂)

Mos is frustrating to me because he’s so dope yet so artistically inconsistent when it comes to output-we get the too occasional amazing guest verse but his post Black on Both Sides albums are either too uneven or stingy.

That’s also the new album I’m most looking forward to checking out. I feel like he’s retained his signature dusty sound much more than a lot of other rappers from his generation

The Autobiography of Malcolm X during middle school: it grew in popularity during the 90s when Public Enemy, BDP, X-Clan and other conscious rap was en vogue, but Malcolm’s story inspired a lot of us during that era in learning more about Islam, Afrocentricity/Pan Africanist, and critically thinking about American politics and other socio historical issues through a different lens.

We Are the Weather: both made me reevaluate how diet & ethical eating impacts the environment both now and for future generations

When I worked at the mall post college I’d get their fish sandwich regularly during my lunch breaks. Underrated franchise.

The edible world inside Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

When the person only wants to discuss work I know I’m about to be stuck in a boring dead-end conversation, especially when it’s either the weekend or we’re not in a work or professional setting

underrated album

Dorney Park was the local amusement park of my childhood! The Hercules was the big coaster that opened during high school or middle school.
