i got the longest throwback

while we're all eagerly awaiting the new plastic little album (she's mature, drops sept 1st), liz got me a copy of their original thug paradise 2.1 record as a quitting smoking present. the great thing about a crew being comprised of art school grads is that not only do you get silly ass clever rhymes, but the cd also came with a whole bunch of rad stickers. hell yeah.

plastic little - miller time

plastic little - lovely lady type song
