Friday Funk: 93 Til Infinity


-The album of the same name was released on September 28, 1993.
-MC lineup: A-Plus, Opio, Phesto & Tajai.
-Do not confuse Phesto with pesto; although some pesto pasta is mighty delicious.
-Bridget's man guess: Verne Troyer.
-Production was handled by A-Plus, who also produced perhaps the album's best track: "That's When Ya Lost"
-"Here's a forty, swig it, I got em chilling in the cooler, break out the ruler." Well, if you say so, but you want me to measure the beer?
-Black Timbs, the quintessential early 90's Hip Hop piece of gear, even on the West Coast.
-JayBiz is shouted out in the outro of the track. Haters, take note, it's not the same guy.
-The song samples "Heather" by Bill Cobham. He was a Panamanian drummer who worked with Miles Davis, Quincy Jones, and Peter Gabriel.
-The b-side was "Disseshowedo"
-Bridget's man guess: Herve Villechaize
-The song reached #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #11 on the Rap chart.
-The album may be considered the Hieroglyphics' crew best of their entire catalog. The Slushy Gutter vote for that honor? Casual's Fear Itself.
-Bridget's man guess: Earl Boykins
-Solo albums: A Plus: 1; Phesto: 0; Tajai: 3; Opio: 2 (check this year's Vulture's Wisdom, Volume One)
-The Hiero logo was designed by Del The Funkee Homosapien, who's father was an artist.
-Oakland Athletic's 1993 roster included: Dennis Eckersley, Rick Honeycutt, current Brewer's manager Dale Sveum, Rickey Henderson, and 08 Hall of Famer Goose Gossage.
-The symbol for infinity does not appear on a standard keyboard.
