The roots had a band behind them, really beautiful insturmentals. I'd start at "What They Do" Also look at Warren G and that whole g-funk set. They had solid backing tracks.

for funk you have to go back to the 70s. I would start with these three essentials: - maggot brain by funkadelic - mothership connection by parliament - there’s a riot going on by sly and the family stone

A silky smooth funk group from Crown Heights. They never got very big but their vinyl is floating around BK record shops. Start off with their ethereal hit Galaxy of Love (linked)

I blew some winnings at Paul Fredrick and now I am rocking some awesome Gaudy old man golf shirts that just drip.

This is a cookbook with no recipes that will teach you how to cook everything. It covers everything there is to know about food -- from how it was discovered, how man changed it, how it is grown, how it is harvested and how to prepare and cook it. It dramatically changed my cooking life.

Most golden ages are not obvious at the time. I lucked out being in high school in a moment where grunge matured, hip hop got amazing and edm started to rise. Smells Like Teen Spirit exploded freshman year. The grunge wave got east soon after that. On the other end of the parking lot Wu Tang was played again and again as Biggie and Tupac battled. And the skaters were shifting from punk rock to this new vibe they heard at warehouse raves as techno was escaping from the lab in Dallas and NYC. The movie Kids catches this time really well. Words don’t quite do it justice.
