Freestyle Fellowship is an old school favorite from 1993. I was in my junior year of college and a Jazz disc jockey on local radio stations WEAS/WHCJ in Savannah, Georgia. This song was featured on a cd I had back then titled, The Rebirth of Cool. The cd also featured acid jazz guitarist, Ronny Jordan and alternative Hip Hop artist, MC Solaar of France. I still have it in my collection and it has withstood the test of time.

HAHA. I've seen this ANCIENT video. I think it used to come on THE BOX.. HAHA.
Thanks for the memories of my EARLY childhood Stephen.
Dance-
i remember THE BOX. I know. I'm old school. *smile* You know I was in college when "A Different World" was still on regular tv. :)
Whoa, that's a groove! I have to admit, I missed out on that period and style, but I see they had a cool thing going. That's the sort of Hip Hop I can relate to. Thanks, for sharing this. ;-\
the classic!
thanks for sharing with us....
:-D
The Rebirth of Cool. I will definitely be attempting to locate this cd. Thanks.
You were a Jazz DJ?
two words:
SO COOL!
Bye

I've never heard of this group, nor the song. I like the message ALOT!
Thanks for sharing, Stephen!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
~Peace
Zapped-
Yeah, that's along the time the group Digable Planet came out. It was a "Jazz thing" in Hip Hop for a while.
kai-
You're welcome. Thank you. :)
Bronze-
Yes, I think you will like it.
Fab-
Yes, I was a Jazz dj for 4 years. Thanks. :)
UB-
Yeah, this was back in the day when you and your girl "Dance" were at recess. :)Did you see her comment?
Stephen-
Yep! I saw her comment! It's funny- I used to listen to alot of hip hop/rap growing up because of my dad and other family members, but I never heard of this group. I saw your comment on the Literary Solitude blog! I invited you to be a contributor to the blog! I know your contributions will be very insightful and a worth while read (like everything else you write)!! I'm going to work on the aesthetic value of the blog when I return from N.O. I was told that it's too plain looking! But I hope that everyone who reads and visits will enjoy the what we have to contribute to the blog. I'm an English major so I love this stuff, and I see you do too!! Thanks Stephen! =)
Sounds cool through and through, Stephen. I like it very much indeed. :-)
I loved it...well LOL I love all your posts, don't I? Hugs and blessings

Hi Stephen,
it's such a long time for me to visit here. but i am ready now for at last i have libereated myself from that tiresome thesis on freedom...so paradoxical even 4 years of life can be...
i guess i can be a more constant reader of your blog from now on, instead of being awed by the passing of time every time i pass by.
btw, thanks for your comments last time, but i have to confess, it's not my work, it's Lou Reed's "perfect day', that's why it's so good and poetic, hahaha...
UB-
Thank you. I hope this blog and project will be all we've ever hoped for and expected. Peace~ :)
Susan-
I'm happy you can appreciate a little alternative Hip Hop. :)
Analia-
You're such a sweetheart. :)Thanks and hugs to you.
Lamkoho-
Hey! It's good to see you! Yes, it has been some time. I happy to hear all is finished with your thesis. It will be great to see you around these parts. I do remember the poem. Well, it definitely shows you have great taste in poetry. :) Peace~
Better late than never, and THAT WAS WELL WORTH THE WHILE! Just loved it. Now I want more of the genre! It's cool, it moves and it's got a sharp edge.
Hello!
This work is very good.Thank you
