Old School Jams, Vol. 3
Around 13 or 14 years old, I got really into gangster rap in all of its aspects. It was a real west coast vibe, and in addition to listening to The Chronic and Doggystyle on repeat I would do things like watch Boyz In The Hood & Menace II Society. However, on a little stranger angle– I became absolutely obsessed with Lowrider culture, and ever had a subscription to the magazine who keeps that namesake.
A page devote to advertising compilations of records called "Old School," would appear in every issue– and while my fascination with lowriders has subsided, I realize that one of the only parts of this whole ramble I gave little to no attention to, and yet have always remembered, were these little budget ads. I just looked them up, and wow! These comps are amazing! Sure, its 90% general knowledge, but there is a little left-field selection and unknown remix action in there too.
Check out Old School Jams Volume 3! What a [re]discovery!
& Don’t forget about Lowrider Magazine!
