Coco Loco Mix
Chubb Rock
I was digging around looking for early hip hop/rap tracks, found a bunch (and a new track by Everlast) and here’s the result.
The Chubb Rock track is a great example of early rap, “Tennessee” by Arrested Development is a classic, and Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend” proves that sometimes the worst voice ever is still a great way to go for a memorable chorus.

SuperSchwiizer: Swiss Hip Hop
Yep, it is everywhere… And here’s what it looks like when hip hop crashes into a Bollywood track, while sung in Swiss German – while managing to visually cover about every cliché there is about Switzerland (and every cliché about hip hop culture, but I think that one is a bit lost on them).
And yes, even after spending more than a bit of time over there, I still can only pick up every tenth word – so I have no idea what he’s really saying so I hope there’s no offense to those that do understand it…
He’s Gimma and it’s awesome.
Many thanks to Stefan for forwarding this so long ago…
The Black Pearl Mix
The Black Pearl
I found myself living in a small Swiss village (the most beautiful Uetikon Am See) this past year and I needed a car. And in my usual way, I went through all kinds of options, checking out countless cars online, pissed off a good friend of mine as I tried to take care of too many people with too many cars – and then went in a completely opposite direction and settled on the most impractical, hard to drive, noisy as all hell beast of a “car” imaginable: A Land Rover Defender.
I thought that every great (absurd, impractical, “how the hell do you park that thing?”) car (okay a truck, really) should have it’s own soundtrack, and so here is the old school hip hop mix I put together for The Gold Coast’s bad ass “Black Pearl”.
It’s not like hip hop is really my thing, but I was there in NYC back in the day and this old school stuff was, without a doubt, the best music to launch this beast of a car on unsuspecting a small Swiss village…
