Combating cultural amnesia 1 mixtape at a time: Throwback rap from the Arsonists




Free download of a mix made in 1998, featuring a slew of classic and rare tracks from that group the Arsonists. If you don't know, ya better... (and shit, if you don't know how to finish that phrase up, you really better...). For those with short attention spans, the Arsonists were (are) a tight and multi-faceted group out of Bushwick (Brooklyn!) who promoted all the elements of Hip Hop culture with passion and action. Wikipedia says they originally had 13 members, damn. Anyway, no blingin out here, jus real real good music.

1998: the year of puffy and cash money, the year we all thought the music couldn't possibly get any worse....ha!

q-unique was always ridiculous-- one of the most overlooked punchline rappers around. the arsonists had a bunch of great songs.
