HIP HOP TWOSDAYS: EDO.G
Going back to Boston for this one. Ed O.G. aka Edo.G has been a staple in “The Bean” for a long minute now and in some circles is considered a living legend. He came out with “Like Of A Kid In The Ghetto” back in 1991 which produced a couple of classics in “Be A Father To Your Child” and “Got To Have It”.
This right here is an album track which hilariously depicts the life of a single man “trying to make it with the ladies in the ’90’s” over top the same slick ass sample Gang Starr used in “Love Sick”.
After that first album Ed O.G. became Edo.G and took a far more considerably underground approach from there on out. He collaborated with DJ Premier and did an entire album with Pete Rock.
I remember hearing a bunch of his tracks killing it on the local 88.9 @ Night on WERS while chillin’ in my room reading The Source. Ahhh the glory days.
