Little-know fact - the orange '64 King Tee is pimping on the cover of this record is the same one that Big Worm drove on Friday. This tape has been a mainstay in steady rotation of my life ever since I got it, but it's a strange one as Side A is one of my favorite sides of any tape ever - pure drunken nonsense, introducing me to Tha Alkaholiks back in the day, and just pure King Tee. But Side B sort of drags down the perfect imperfections of the first side. King Tee is one of those guys that common hip hop consensus of the informed variety always says he should've blown up, but fuck it, and fuck a platinum album. He's got legend because when I sold off a bunch of shit on ebay a few months back, nobody wanted to pay shit for a Company Flow or Mos Def single, but some dude dropped almost twenty bones on the King Tee "Dippin'" 12-inch, which I kinda wish I had back now. Stupid ebay... it ruins everything.
