Trying to locate an obscure old-school rap...somebody help me out.

Back in the late eighties (or maybe early nineties) someone did a rap version of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" but this time the devil went up to Detroit and engaged in a scratching contest.

Does anyone know who the artist was?

"the devil came up to Michigan" by KMC Kru.

I knew I could count on "El Mafioso Mojo Jojo."  Thank you kind sir.

BTW - I dont know why you would be asking about a rap song on this site...

I can already read the responses..."who the hell cares about that nig...(hitting the backspace key) "crap" music?"

[Old Moparz]

I was looking, but just because I was curious,  never heard it. How about a hillbilly Bluegrass version of AC/DC?

Hayseed Dixie is cool.

Old School Rap rules...I don't care what anyone says.

I was blasting Paperboy's "Ditty" while driving to work this morning. You cant go wrong with any song that samples Zapp.

[Old Moparz]

I don't care what anyone says.

Well, that's always been obvious.

how old school are we talking about? Run DMC / P.E. old school, "the chronic"-era old school, Tupac and Biggie old school?

[Orange_Crush]

Why do I get the feeling that there aint much you WON'T drink to.

Hey, there's a really good Italian joint in Newburgh that I used to go to after I hit the textile mill.   It was in a run-down shopping center but then it moved a couple of years back.   Do you have any clue as to the place I'm talking about?

I'm talking "Old School" as in back when you were in diapers, junior.

Back when RUN DMC was "edgy"

so youre into Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash, Sugarhill, Afrikka Bambataa, Fab Five Freddy,  that sort of thing?

[Orange_Crush]

Yup.

Back when sampling was new and controversial and scratching was in its rudimentary early stages....Back before Hip Hop became a brand.

As for the Italian restaurant, Diana's maybe? The food changed with the move if it's the same one you're thinking of. The shopping center is getting a makeover & a new "Target" store. (My company is doing the sitework, btw.)

Don't forget the striped tube socks pulled up as far as they's go.

BTW, I have pics...but I'll spare myself the humiliation.

I don't drink.

Good thing too... You're wide open enough sober.

It WAS Diana's  That place had the best food despite the fact that it loked like such a dive.  Never ate in the new one.

That same shopping center has a really good BBQ place now called "Barnstormer BBQ". They smoke their own food, have excellent pulled pork snadwiches & ribs. They play nothing but blues on the sound system, serve beer, & you're stuffed for under $10.00. Do you still get up to Newburgh anymore?

you probably looked like D.A.R.Y.L.

[Orange_Crush]

I haven't in a while.   I figure I'll have to hit Newburgh D&P before too long though (used to be ARMA textile).

I can appreciate someone that sticks with a look throughout their entire life. 

[Orange_Crush]

Yeah...I'm sure you and Vain look real cute when YOU go out on the town.  The Messcan master and his Anglo bitch...or is it the other way around?
