What Ever Happened To……Sagat?

Sagat - Why Is It? (Funk Dat)
The year was 1993. I was flipping channels like I always did at 13 and came across an angry dude complaining about the ills of his life over a repetitive house beat on MTV, back when they actually played videos. Even in the early 90’s something like this [...]

New Outkast?

Outkast ft. Marsha Ambrousis- Da Art Of Story Tellin Pt. 4 (FULL)
Looks like Outkast dropped some new turkey and stuffing just in time for Thanksgiving. Can’t verify where this came from (came from DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grills: The Album), but new Outkast is always a good look. (from youheardthatnew.com)
