Two rap debuts dropped the same Tuesday in 1999. Both built on Godzilla. One became a blueprint. The other got sued by Toho 🦖

👹 MF DOOM`s Operation: Doomsday, on Bobbito`s Fondle `Em. Self-produced, Sade`s "Kiss of Life" looped, credits full of Monsta Island Czars: Rodan, Megalon, King Ghidra.

🎤 Pharoahe Monch`s Internal Affairs gave us "Simon Says," built on Akira Ifukube`s Godzilla theme. Toho sued in 2001. Out of print until 2019.

Same monster. Opposite fates.

Hip-hop samples the records. It samples the covers too. 🎨

Three classics that flipped an older image:

Redman, Dare Iz a Darkside (1994). Reggie buried up to his neck is a nod to Funkadelic`s Maggot Brain (1971). He even named a track "Cosmic Slop."

Boogie Down Productions, By All Means Necessary (1988). KRS-One at the window restages the Malcolm X photo, and the title flips "by any means necessary."

Camp Lo, Uptown Saturday Night (1997). A homage to Ernie Barnes` The Sugar Shack, the painting from Marvin Gaye`s I Want You and the Good Times credits.

One Tuesday in October 1994 put three classics in the same new-release rack. Brooklyn, Houston, Fort Greene. 📀

🎙️ O.C., Word...Life. Wild Pitch, Buckwild on most of the beats.

🕯️ Scarface, The Diary. No. 2 on the Billboard 200, platinum before the year was out. One guest verse on the whole album: Ice Cube. And yes, that`s "No Tears" in the Office Space traffic jam.

🎷 Digable Planets, Blowout Comb. Guru on "Borough Check" over Roy Ayers. Inner sleeve styled like the Black Panther paper.

Same day, three lanes. Which one you running back first? 👇

One Wu-Tang album. One copy. And you will probably never hear it.

Once Upon a Time in Shaolin: recorded 2007 to 2013, produced by Cilvaringz and RZA, 110 minutes sealed in a silver, jewel-encrusted box.

Shkreli paid $2M in 2015. The feds seized it in 2018. PleasrDAO paid $4M in 2021. MONA in Tasmania hosted the first public listening in 2024. No commercial release until 2103.

Meth`s position never changed: give it to the people.

Hear it once, or never know? 👇

Weldon Irvine wrote the words to Nina Simone`s "To Be Young, Gifted and Black." Then he produced a Reflection Eternal song. 🎹

Train of Thought dropped October 17, 2000 on Rawkus. Kweli on the mic, Hi-Tek on the boards, Dave Chappelle on the intro.

"Africa Dream" is the deep credit. Tek co-produced, but the main producer is Irvine, the jazz keyboardist who also played on Black Star`s "Astronomy." Civil-rights jazz passing the torch to Rawkus. 🔥

Six years later to the day, Hi-Teknology² landed: Ghostface on "Josephine," Tek`s father singing the hook.

The label was nervous about a Wu-Tang wildcard on a pop record. Mariah did it anyway.

August 1995: "Fantasy" drops. It enters the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1, the first single by a female artist ever to debut on top, and only the second song after Michael Jackson`s "You Are Not Alone." Eight weeks at No. 1.

The hook flips Tom Tom Club`s "Genius of Love." Then the Bad Boy Remix put Ol` Dirty Bastard, unfiltered, in pop`s glossiest room. Mariah has said the remix drove over half the single`s sales.

After that, every pop star wanted a rapper on the remix.

From four kids freestyling at the Good Life Cafe to a writing credit on To Pimp a Butterfly. That`s the Leimert Park line 🎺

Freestyle Fellowship`s Temptations dropped October 16, 2001. 25 years this week, and their first album in eight years, cut at Project Blowed.

🎷 The jewel: most beats came from trumpet player Josef Leimberg. A decade later he linked with Terrace Martin as LoveDragon and co-wrote "How Much a Dollar Cost" on TPAB.

🎤 Guests: Abstract Rude, RBX, Supernatural.
