Dr. Dre - The Next Episode

This song is part of my childhood! Quite a strange thing to say, considering I'm not from the streets of CPT, and that I never grew up to develop a taste for gin, khakis and mackin' bitches. I'm partial to the chronic, however I doubt that has got anything to do with Nate Dogg's g-funk serenading. This is a classic Dr. Dre track, and it's a shame that he never made more solo albums; this is epic rap tunage right here. Snoop Dogg's presence is almost always welcome and Nate Dogg's silky baritone is the voice of a place in time that will always be special to me.

This is a bona fide DJ single. Side A holds the original and the radio edit, whilst side B contains an instrumental and an acapella for all you scratch happy nerds out there. This was released in 1999 by Interscope and Dre's very own Aftermath label.

Serj Tankian - Empty Walls

The sound on this record is huge! Kudos to the pressing people, they really packed this one in. Having grown up through the nu-metal generation I have always had a soft spot for System of a Down, and I was fairly impressed by Serj's first solo single. Unfortunately, the fun ends there as the album turned out to be rather disappointing (who saw that coming, eh?). Side B is just a shitty dance remix so unless your a serious hardcore fan of Serj Tankian there is no real reason to own this.
