HA ... i WAS ALSO LOOKING FOR THE ANTE UP TUNE A WHILE BACK...

I managed to put a request into HTFR and it came in and I bought it on vinyl, used of course. Has the Busta Ryhmes and original version on it. I love that tune. I paid a pretty penny for it though. It is nowhere to be found on the net as far as I can tell, except DL. They have not repressed it which is stupid cause the tune is a classic.

If only for Mos Def's stellar verses. Mos Def was dope back then
and his Black on Both Sides album was a great lp

Liked him even when his back with the Bush Babees
