The Cover From Issue 2 Of My Old Magazine
I put that bad boy you see up there out in 1997, but I was working in this Bay Area hip hop industry for 3 years before that. I've been around this music shit for a long time. I've got history. That's the cover of issue 2 and I'm still real proud of that one 'cause I had a good mix of people in there from Mac Dre (RIP Andre Hicks) and Andre Nickatina to Closed Caption and Lateef & Lyrics Born. I did all the interviews in that issue (other than half of the Assassin piece) and took all the pictures of Mac Dre for his cover feature.
Just felt like throwing that old school cover up there for people. I still have a handful of copies of that issue laying around so if anyone wants one, hit me up and we can figure something out. True Bay Area hip hop collectible for ya.
This little iPod thingamajig is my new favorite toy. I'll pretty much always have 10 tracks in rotation on it so be sure to click the ">>" button to scroll through all of them. I'll have some classics on there as well as some rare treats for ya.
The STRIVIN' blog first started out as an exclusively Bay Area hip hop blog, but I decideded that there's so much more out there that I want to talk about so I've expanded my focus to cover music from all over the place. My mind is open and I hope the minds of my readers are open as well. Plus I've decided to post about other shit whenever the hell I want. That includes beer, movies, food, bitches, my drinking escapades, random thoughts, biased opinions, more beer and some other shit. Have no fear though, I do still love Bay Area hip hop so it'll always have a place at STRIVIN'.
