BTW, Rodney O and Brother Marquis of 2 Live Crew were a group called Caution Crew back in 1983:

So 'Three the Hard Way' is the second record? And obviously they changed it up a lot...

i remember ads in the old source (reginald c denny nvr 4get) and rodney o and joe cooley had this album where they were jumping on the east coast vs. west coast thing....(this wasn't like biggie pac, but inspired by "fuck compton" by tim dog)...anyway they had some song called "fuck new york" or something like that.

yeah, their post-Me & Joe period doesn't work

Rodney O's "These are My beats" is a great slice of Egyptian Lover West Coast Electro

Also, General Jeff, who they said was represented by the hyphen in the name Rodney O-Joe Cooley, was also in Russ Parr's/Bobby Jimmy's Critters (as was NWA alumnus Arabian Prince)

haha old skool west coast is so charmingly dorky.

i never fully understood what the deal with "uncle jamm's army" was...where they like a pfunk tribute thing?

another source ad i rememeber was for a bobby jimmy song called "I thought she was erotic (but she was psychotic)" or something like that.

also, i think he called a song or album "original pranker" way before offspring had that dumb song.

Like when the Chemical Bros called themselves the Dust Brothers I think. A DJ Crew taking a name already used. Radio jocks are worse. At one point in Florida there was one jock named Eazy E and one named Dick Dale on the air at the same time (different stations).

also, i think he called a song or album "original pranker" way before offspring had that dumb song.

I think that was Original Prankster, a parody of Ice T's Original Gangster. BJ was Hip-Hop's Weird Al before Weird Al became Hip-Hop's Weird Al.

Bobby Jimmy is Russ Parr, who was a major force of getting the west coast hip-hop industry up and running (Raspur Records, etc.). Isn't his radio show nationally syndicated these days?

Speaking of unsung west coast pioneers (in our derailing), an interview with Daniel Sofer, the man who did a lot for Dre's early days, etc.

Russ Parr is Bobby Jimmy! Wow, I did not realize that. Parr's based out of DC and his WKYS radio morning show is syndicated. I like the Friday morning "wrong song" segment that runs at 8 a.m. US east coast time. Parr and Dj Sixth Sense mix old-school rap and whatever else together and take calls from listeners
