- Some time before Xmas someone on this board was talking about CIA
- (Ice Cube's old group) and wondered if they ever released anything
- else than "My Posse". Well, I recently bought a compilation album called
- "Rap Street", released in -91 on a German label, consisting of mainly
- old school West Coast rap. There are two CIA cuts on it, "My Posse" and
- a cut called "Ill-legal". First time I heard them, I could hardly believe
- it was Ice Cube rapping. Sir Jinx and Dr. Dre are in there as well,
- shouting and yelling like the Beasties on top of some beats that reminds
- me of early 2 Live Crew.
-
- There is also a track on the album with "Dezo Daz featuring DJ Slip",
- called "It's My Turn". The lead rapper has a line where he says "I'm just
- Yomo", and he sounds like he could be the one from Yomo & Maulkie.
- Does anyone know if this is correct ?
