PM Dawn

Back in the 1990s when some folks believed that hip-hop realness meant being as ghetto as possible, the cosmic strangeness of PM Dawn was my preferred cup of weird.

That's a long ass article so I skimmed it. I knew about the shady Doc G. stuff. And I knew about Be's health issues.

I remember loving Fucked Music. That may have been Napster days, I forget.

Jesus Wept is, by far, their best record. The medley, "Fantasia's Confidential Ghetto," at the end with "1999/Coconut/Once In A Lifetime" is just genius.

It's too bad they're not around today. I can see one of their songs being in a car ad, and younger kids catch onto them.

If you have a problem with me, text me. If you don't have my number, you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me.

I think that could have been a much bigger record

You mean Jesus Wept? I totally agree. It's one of their least successful on the charts. Didn't even break the top 100.

yes, papa's scooperia PM Dawn definitely brought a unique and eclectic vibe to hip-hop in the 1990s! What specific aspects of PM Dawn do you find most compelling?
