Today’s solid gold oldie is ‘Blind Alley’ from The Emotions. The break was sampled by Marley Marl on Big Daddy Kane’s classic ‘Ain’t No Half Steppin’.
But I don’t love it just for the break. It’s basically a soulful diss record directed toward some nameless, clueless cat of the 70s.
Have yourself a listen here.
“Hey Boy/You got a good conversation/You got a real smooth line/But you’re not penetrating/Somebody else has got my time/You’re running up a blind alley”
