Just Ice is definitely one of the artists I inadvertently left off my list
and I highly recommend his first album, "Back to the Old School".
But, I have a question. You said they recently reissued "Cold Gettin Dumb",
which wasn't an album - it was a song on his first album. So, did someone
reissue the single? That seems a bit odd to me considering (to the best of
my knowledge) "Back to the Old School" has never been re-issued on CD.
Just seems strange that someone would reissue one track off this great album
(albeit the most "popular" track on the album). But actually I'm hoping you
mistyped and meant to say that "Back to the Old School" has been reissued
(I'm still listening to my LP that I bought in 1986 with money I made
working as a busboy - that record is still in near mint condition, but I'd
love a copy on CD).
And I'll tack on another recommendation I forgot earlier - Schoolly D. Some
hit-n-miss stuff in his catalog, but his best moments are top notch old
school hip hop. Jive just recently put out a respectable "best of" in 2002
(forgot the title though).
What a great stroll down memory lane this thread has been...
