Music can send you down a trip on memory lane, it’ll make you remember a loved one or a fun time in your life or maybe even that one night with that special someone… you know what i’m talking about. We at 1833 are no different and want to celebrate the past with our weekly segment THROWBACK THURSDAY’S; check below to see what era our contributors are stuck in this week and come back every thursday to find out what songs you forgot you missed.
Zach:
This song is a jewel from one of the worst Bollywood movies I’ve ever kinda watched. I think it was metafiction though – which is of course a tight narrative genre. Wait until you hear it speeded up. – <3 Solaris Hilton
Alexy:
Instrumental music is perfect to put in the background. J dillas instrumentals? They’re so commanding and filled with soul they always come to the forefront of whatever you’re doing. As a result, all of my old memories are to the soundtrack of whatever Dilla song/album was playing at the time.
Donshining:
Big L is my favorite rapper of all time. I was introduced to him when I was a freshman at Roosevelt University, living in the UC, and smoking gravity bongs in the bathrooms. I had a friend named Denim who honestly was one of the greatest musical minds I have ever met and introduced me to bands like Modest Mouse, showed me Illmatic, and showed me this freestyle. Big L’s flow on this freestyle makes Jay-Z sound like Ice JJ Fish and ever since hearing this I’ve put L higher than any other rapper that’s ever existed. So thank you Denim and thank you University Center in Downtown Chicago.
