GDP - "Duff McKagan" (f.k.a. How's This)

Celebrating 30 years of A Tribe Called Quest's 'Low End Theory'.  How do you follow up a 5-mic debut album??  With a 5-mic sophomore LP!  Everything about this album is a MASTERPIECE....from the abstract cover art, to the jazz-infused production emphasizing the LOW END, to the rhymes traded effortlessly between Q-Tip and Phife (R.I.P.).  Genius-level artistry.
This album represented a defining moment in hip hop, so I HAD to pay tribute with a mix incorporating the original samples, remixes, and blends.

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory 30th Anniversary Tribute Mix

Prototype (Baltimore Club mix by @antimrgn)

Club Paradise, a concept by Brooklyn-born and Los Angeles-based DJ & producer @88superofficial, is the culmination of a mixture of musical styles that influenced his sound as a DJ. Heavily influenced by the hip-hop, r&b, and dancehall music of his youth, 88. infuses those genres with high energy edits, Baltimore, Jersey and Philly club breaks, Soca, Baile Funk, and other forms of international dance music he discovered while traveling abroad.

Club Paradise airs every 2nd Friday of the month on @dublab from 10pm-12am PT | 1-3am ET

Episode 039 features a b2b mix from @88superofficial & @ninaoffline

Lyrics:

I'm so sick of bein' 
walled in--forgettin' how ridiculously long it's been
--since I saw the sun or simply felt it on my skin
this is a self-imposed prison that I'm locked within
--and I built it all--it's my greatest accomplishment
a monument to the shit that I love most
the figures, the posters--but nothin' comes close
to front row tickets to witness it explode
--they say that I use this as an excuse 
to abuse--just to booze and lose my shit in my room
and refuse to consider the bitter truth
that a ruse such as this is too miserable to pursue 
--used to be, I had a great personality
now you can see, reality's taken that person out of me
if I can't be the best--hand me a weapon
--or antidepressants--an ambien
breakfast of champions--does that answer your question (damn)
--groove to the music--in my room for improvement
crossin' prove myself to you--off the top of my to-do list
--my temple of doom is a temporal loop
the prevents me from attempting what I'm tempted to do
this is for me, myself, and my mental health
what I kept and held inside for so long it died
if only I could see through to the other side

I got rhymes for days--that took years to write
as my mind decayed, lyin' awake at night
I paid the price--all the progress I made
was a lot less--than the great loss, stress, and pain
I'm a hot mess--so don't place faith in me
at this rate--my legacy'll be a PlayStation 3
HDTV, couple games, couple great DVD's
trade it all if it'll make me these dreams
envisioned the end--like Sarah Connor--grippin' a fence
shit was intense--picture cataclysmic events
with Stan Winston level special effects
I never settled for less--punish myself
for every slight--next to nothin' 
like every fuckup deserves a Krycek commeupance
and I'd give my right hand for another fightin' chance
but what I'm up against is my extrasensory functions
my need to exist is competing with a reason to live
that has given me a cease and desist
now I see the abyss--starin' back at me and eatin' my flesh
until gradually--it becomes obsession
try to keep it in check cuz I'm not seekin' attention
I wanna beat the depression up outta me with a wrench
so I can see and connect with society and the rest of the world
rest assured--I've been dead to it
now you mention it--could be over in a Nikon flash
so turn the mic on--it's time I got my life on track
if I never get where I'm goin'--then let the record show
the lengths that I've gone to--to exit the buildin'
(I'm ready and willin')
