DJ Kool, Biz Markie, Doug Fresh - Let Me Clear My Throat

ORIGINATION um, dunno
LAST LISTENED TO no idea
CHANCE OF WAKING TO IT curiously good
RATING

A top piece of hip hop but one, sadly, that i know very little about. What i do know is that DJ Kool put together this track out of some timeless breaks, including the famous sax used by The 45 Kings. The reason for me waking to it today is that one of these breaks is from Kool & The Gang's 'Hollywood Swinging', which is the b-side of 'Funky Stuff' and that was one of a marathon run of 45s that Craig and i converted to mp3s yesterday.

Both Biz Markie and Doug E Fresh where guests on this when it was recorded live in a Philadelphia club in 1996 with a very lively crowd. It is party hip hop of the first order.
