chocolate all over like an ALMond JOY!"
cowboy - rip - had the best emcee voice, ever. but mel is up there, doe.
in addition to marv albert, i think keith (cowboy) was an influence on chuck d, too. it's harder to pull off that booming quality w/ more complex rhyme schemes, but dude's voice was perfectly matched to his style.
i think it had a lot to do w/ the style of radio deejays back in the day, the way they'd let the syllables hang out there like that.
peace & blessings,
x.
sigless for the summer, y'all.
