One
of the first things that I noticed about this cassette is that it doesn’t look
like it was recorded over someone else’s homemade cassette from back in the
day. Although the more professional quality of this
stands, I can’t help but miss the fact that this could have been dubbed over
someone’s “Greatest Michael Jackson Jams” or whatever.
This
is quite possibly one of the best examples of old school rap that I have ever
heard. From “Parents Just Don’t
Understand” era Fresh Prince to Kool & the Gang to Grand Masta Flash, this
just exhumes all sorts of qualities of a rap album from the 1980’s or into the
early 1990’s. There are some definite
NKOTB beats and even robot noises at one point, so this really feels like it’s
straight out of the ‘80’s.
Whether
it be out of your boombox speakers (You know the kind) or just simply filling
an arena for the weekly Thursday night rollerskating, Height with FRIENDS takes
me back to an era I was too young to truly remember but have parents and other
relatives to help piece together for me.
This would fit in with all of that quite well.
