Crooklyn Dodgers "Crooklyn" 12"

JAN29



Another one of THE GREATEST 12 INCHES OF ALL TIME (you gotta say that like Muhammad Ali), this one is great because the song is a classic plus the 12" came with vocal, acapella and instrumental versions. It was also a Brooklyn super group put together by Spike Lee for his movie Crooklyn with legends Masta Ace, Special Ed, and Buckshot. Not sure why Q-Tip (Queens Tip) got to produced the track because he isn't from Brooklyn, but he was hot as hell as a producer back then (Nas, Tribe) so it worked. As a bonus, I threw in both Crooklyn Dodgers '95 and Crooklyn Dodgers III that were cool but never lived up to the original Crooklyn Dodgers (#2 came close).
