Ever since I heard Audio 2 - Top Billin and the infectious voice screaming all over that joint I was a fan of Milk.
Milk Dee, older brother to another old school favorite of mine MC Lyte, started off in Audio Two with his brother DJ Gizmo.
While the early Audio Two stuff was nice my favorite was the 1994 release "Never Dated". This EP was released under the name Milk, featuring Ad Rock from the Beasties had some super dope tunes on it.
Spam was the track with Ad Rock, "Fire, my voice gets higher and higher (voice cracks), you said I'm not the man, ya God damn liar!". I love the simple beat and back and forth between 'This white boy' and 'This black guy'
I do like all the tracks on this EP but my favorite by far is "Go to Hell!" This track really shows Milk Dee for me. He is so cock sure that he doesn't even rhyme most of the lyrics. Funny coz when I was rocking it a lot as a kid, my friend said, 'That's nice but he doesn't even make the lyrics rhyme' like it was a bad thing!
That simply made me like it even more and worry about my listening skills because I didn't actually reailise that his shit wasn't rhyming. The way he drops his lyrics is so dope I never even thought that he needed to make it rhyme.
"Ask Me How Thick" has the classic line, for me at least, "I gets papes daily, every day".
For the rapnerds this is classic business. I found the EP and then Drizzle/Agnew found the Spam 12" for me later so I will add that for you lucky listeners. I am still looking for the "Get Off My Log" 12 however!
