Attic Beats 016 - Recorded November 23, 2005

This week’s theme is Hip-Hop That Samples Sesame Street. While some of the samples are pretty blatant (like either of the KMD/MF Doom tracks), others are buried deeper (like the “5″ on Jurassic 5’s “Monkey Bars”). There’s also a gem of a major label obscurity here to kick off the show.

And no, Smart E’s “Sesame’s Treet” is not included… that’s techno, sucka!

Happy Thanksgiving to listeners in the US. Happy Thursday to everyone else.
