Hip-Hop for White Folks: Hey Ya!

UNC Chapel Hill, 1968

 

A musical series selected by best pal & crime novelist Wallace Stroby. For staying alive during the most depressing time of the year. I just love green and orange. Series yearbook photos sourced from Yackety Yack

This is one of the great singles of the last 10 years in any genre. Impossible to sit still while you're listening to it.

Wallace- One of my favorites off your White Folk CD.

Main Line- I was wondering where they came up with that front row of talent.

Bro- It looks like a vodka commercial. And Andre matches the his hat band to his bow tie. A bit below the salt if you ask me.

I didn't say I was all in, I just said it was a raise.
Besides, I think it was pepper, not salt.
