The best thing about three day weekends is…um…getting an extra day away from your soul-crushing desk job. The second best thing is the return of real hip-hop to the radio. No ring tone bull ish. No Vitamin Water-sponsored 50 Cent medley. No Lupe Fiasco. (this dude DOES know what “fiasco” MEANS, right?) When the three day weekends come out, the real music come out. (Also, when the fif come out, the bitch come out, but that’s a different post.) In honor of President’s Day, but definitely not our current president, here are the holidays that always have Flex and Cee digging for that hot fiyah in their crates. (Cue explosion sound.)
4th of July Weekend
Helps ease road rage during hours of traffic traveling back and forth between the boroughs. Half the time, when you get to where you're going you wind up sitting in the car, bumping until the next commercial break.
In heavy rotation: Boot Camp, Tribe, Gang Starr
Memorial Day Weekend
Grab the crappiest boom box you got, turn the volume UP, fire up that grill, invite everyone you know to your spot, and go to town. Guaranteed three straight days of classics. Catch the most DITC ish every afternoon.
In heavy rotation: EPMD, Nas, every radio and club hit from the 80s and 90s
MLK Day Weekend
The only thing that makes classic beats sound better is mixing in scratched up audio of the Reverend. You think Daddy Kane ripped "Young, Gifted, and Black"? Try the unofficial Martin Luther the King remix.
In heavy rotation: Public Enemy, KRS-One, Brand Nubian
March 9
No explanation necessary. RIP BIG.
In heavy rotation: The best rapper of all time
