Owuor played this gem on our Colorado run during his “90’s set” and had all 5 of us in the van screaming “what’s going on!” driving through the mountains. Perfect Colorado music. And pretty damn epic. Which then lead me to a couple questions. How do I even know this song? Who is this? Why do I know every word? How old was I when MTV programmed the lyrics into my mind forever? And why is it so fucking good?
I need to flip this. Might be Aberdeen’s next hit. We’ll see. But it deserves some 808 hi-hats and raps.
I bet she has a really hairy vagina. Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with! It’s awesome! Just an educated guess. Embrace it!
Linda Perry from 4NB is actually a bigtime hitmaker behind the scenes nowadays

I don’t remember hearing this on the radio, but i do remember my mom blasting it while she cleaned and we played Super Mario 64- which means I think they may have put in on the original jock jams cd. Either way, I feel your unsure knowledge of the song…
Love. Love. Love. Takes me straight back to high school. (Not weighin’ in on the shag rug conjecture, though – except to say, damn straight there’s nothing wrong with that!
)
I just discovered your music the other day, Ben. I heard “Vipassana” on KEXP and I actually had to pull the car over to really listen. I discovered that hip hop + spirituality *rocks my socks off* (and I barely even listen to hip hop).
I hear you. Thank you for sharing your stories with the world. Beautiful. I am grateful.
