Sorry to hear that Vince, you definitely had one of the dopest rap blogs going. Eff the man.

Hope to see THIMK back up and running soon.

On a side note, any chance of a link to part 3 of those Roots cuts?

Holy crap that's awful, you didn't even have controversial stuff on there, that's ridiculous.

I just finished listening to Part 3 and true to the form of the first two sections of the tape, they're absolutely incredible.

Thanks again for digging these out and uploading them Vince.

...just out of curiousity, are there more parts coming?

How much of this was actually posted already? I ask b/c I have a good portion of this already ripped and a tape of the 1st time they were @ NYU that I still need to rip. Here's a sample:

Respond/React

Maaan, you're starting out as an mvp over here. Props.
All 3 volumes were posted but I don't remember what was on each one. It turned out that at least some, if not all, were actually live takes and on vinyl.

We posted a full 30 minute session of them on WNYU with a bunch of other emcees, notably Half A Mill, but I don't know if that's what you have. the one we had was them live playing drums and keyboards in the studio and shit.

Peace to boogzthedon for hitting us with that.

Here's the tracklist for what I have. This is from the 2nd time they were up @ NYU which is where whatever was posted here is from:

1. Respond/React
2. Sections
3. Push Up Ya Lighter
4. Clones
5. No Alibi
6. Rahzel Interlude
7. On Fire Tonight (Burnin' Up)
8. Concerto Of The Desperado
9. Proceed
10. Motherless Child (Lord Tariq)
11. The Jam (A-Butta)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PH2SEHJU

If anyone has the rest of the freestyles I'd love a post b/c I've never heard em (ex when Black was goin on The Message which I got in this thread).

Again I also have them @ NYU for the first time which I still have to rip. This was around the Do You Want More timeframe and I know they had Sadat (he did Wild Cowboys to Who Shot Ya) and Lord Tariq did something too. I'm gonna try and get to it early next week.

Edit: Some of this stuff is on my other tape:

Sooooo I couldn't sleep and I decided to rip this other joint. After close examination in this thread and the little info I could find online it looks like what was posted here was a combo of the 2 NYU shows. This is the whole 1st show that has the 30 min set with all the emcees (I just split each track individually). Lastly this:
