26/ Kalamazoo, Mich.
I first got hooked on it after picking up a MoWax
compilation called Royalties Overdue back in 1992. A
shop in Chicago, don't remember the name, had the
two-disc thing for like $32 bucks. The only person I
recognized on it was DJ Krush. But I got it anyway.
Now it's a collectors item, I guess they don't press
them anymore. From there, I was just blowing it up
non-stop. Spent lots of money on some bullshit before
I found this list and joined in 1995. Mainly, I lurk
and read -- too little time to respond to anything.
But I gotta say, with all its ups and downs, this list
still has the best juice on music.
