This edition of OTR is keepin' it mafioso gangsta styles, with Kool G Rap's 1993 single "On the Run".... the Al Capone version. Kool G was ahead of his time and highly influential in the rap game, although the album that features the original version of this song almost didn't get released due to it's graphic subject matter. I think this remix is the best of the 3 versions I own, even found a clip of the music video re-dubbed with the Capone beat.
I got the single at Beatstreet in Vancouver for about $9-, and added another classic skateboard video soundtrack gem to the crate. This one appeared in the 101 section of 20 Shot Sequence, from 1994.... with a nice chunk of Gino footage to close it off.
Skating downtown Vancouver in the mid 90s after watching that part, with Kool G running though your head.... night sessions.... good times. Might have to bundle up and go for a roll if we get a dry evening this week....
