Put Your Weight On It Ep.2, Vol. 2

It is well known that hip hop samples music of the 70's religiously which is the reason for two volumes of this Put Your Weight On It episode.  Not only was the music taken and repurposed, fashion was also emulated. The blaxploitation genre created a time and space that gave black folks something cool. Many of the current producers of hip hop were adolescents at the time and went on to show their love for the blaxploitation genre through their creative perspective of music.  Take the time to enjoy the funky and groovin' sounds, ya dig?
