I found a bootleg of the whole 12" online and after listening I'm still wondering WTF? This kid had the goods and I rocked Buckshot LeFonque 1 & 2 and still never knew it was Uptown. Wow! One thing is for sure, Uptown's skills were in advance of his time back in '89. Wow, I’m catching this conversation late but my copy of Dope on Plastic got broken back in da day.

Ashton, I was also wishing he spoke about Uptown. As far as what happened to him, after tommy boy he became the rapper in Buckshot Lefonque in the 90s. He rhymed one a few tracks on their first two albums, including "Breakfast at Denny's". It seems no one really knows that. I just noticed the name in writers credits of the Buckshot Lefonque CD and figure it out back then... He was going by "50 Styles" (think that's right) Great interview Robbie, as always.

I would give that credit to Shock G. I honestly was never a big Pac fan but thats just me. I very very indirectly helped unearth Tupac. I would give that credit to Shock G.

They shared studio time and Jazzy Jay produced a song, 'I Ain't Going out Like That' with all three. The song never came out and Puba says it has their hottest rhymes ever. I would love to hear it.

Grand Puba producing Latifah? that would have been more on a soft, reggae tip no doubt... but I prefer the 45 King's quick dance beats. That's probably what made her "relevant" to her fans during those bass heavy years.

Is there any truth to the story that Elektra had basically three solo artists and decided just to put them all together?
