Here is the super rare promo cd version of "iLLSTYLE LIVE!" from 1995. Some of you probably already have the vinyl rip but guess what? I had it too, it's time to forget about the cracks and pops and upgrade to the digital version.
The IllStyle Live LP was a live recording promoting all the rap acts from Elektra Records & EastWest Records. They had artists like Ol' Dirty Bastard, Das EFX, Supernatural, The Juggaknots, 8-Off, ... As you might already know, most of the artists were left with shelved albums. Luckily, a few of these albums leaked throughout the years.
While all the performances are on point, there isn't anything close to the Ol' Dirty session. ODB mentions how he didn't want to come to the show on some classic funny ish. He then rocks a freestyle with Buddha Monk and 60 Second Assassin then starts to talk again and finally performs Brooklyn Zoo & Shimmy Shimmy Ya. Pete Rock is also the DJ of the night.
Ego Trip included iLLSTYLE LIVE! on their "Official All-The-Way-Live Albums" list. It still remains one of the greatest live performances ever released on wax to this day!

Nice... didn't realize this one was so rare. Bought it for $2.50 at a used CD store ten or 11 years ago.
ReplyDeletedoozy !
ReplyDeleteI have the video for this, now THAT'S some rare shit, it was csually handed to me a long time ago - Ol Dirty barely makes his way through Billy Paul's 'Me & Mrs Jones' as he's so out of it, and I remember it was the first spot i heard Busta doin Whoo-Hah [nearly a year before the 12" promo even dropped]...
the MC for the event was TALENT, Melle Mel and a few others make it....
thanks again for the digi-version of ILLSTYLE
