DJ Jazzy Jeff

I figured since today is the 22nd of January that my next post should involve DJ Jazzy Jeff in some way. For those that don't know, the 22nd is Jeff's birthday -- he turned 43. I only know it because Jeff has been (and always will be) my favorite DJ ever since I was 10 years old, so I kind of studied the guy. With all that being said, I'm going to drop the entire DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince studio discography along with his two Hip Hop Forever releases. There are a few things that I should probably mention before I get started. On the "He's The DJ I'm The Rapper" LP, one of the best tracks on the album (Another Special Announcement) is missing despite being included on the vinyl and cassette versions (I have the cassette, but no vinyl).

Not only that, "Nightmare On My Street" is edited. On a totally seperate note, whatever happened to Ready Rock C? Dude was ill (beatboxing the Sanford & Son Theme underwater? fuckin' bananas...forget about it). Also, I don't have the bonus disc for Hip Hop Forever III so, obviously, I won't be including it. The bonus disc is just the songs used in the compilation, but they aren't mixed. So there's nothing to be missed unless you're just looking for some of the songs in particular. And, like with everything else I post, if there's no decent album art, I take pics of my own....so if anyone knows where I can get some decent He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper album art, hit me. That's pretty much everything that comes to mind so, um, on with the show then...
