I love music outta Philly
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 11:47 AM by MrScorpio
The Roots, Jill Scott, Ursula Rucker, Billy Paul... Love that shit.

All except for Will Smith.

His music sucks... No wonder Philly kicked him out.

(The Chi-Lites were a ruse. Of course I knew that they were Chicago)

1. There's good reason why American Bandstand originated out of
Philadelphia. It was the perfect atmosphere to spawn a ground breaking television show featuring rock and roll.

6. Jazzy Jeff is great

Awesome DJ and producer.

And Will Smith had some good stuff back in the DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince days. Nothing too deep, but pretty fun. He did start sucking really fucking badly though.

But Will Smith, well nature abhors a vacuum and so do I.

8. Pittsburgh has Dr. Zoot
Up and coming swingsters - www.drzoot.com. Check out their schedule, maybe they play near Philly sometime. My friends and I are trying to arrange for them to play in Tampa next year.
