Tried By 12
East Flatbush Project’s “Tried by 12″ (Uproar, 1996)
Pretty much the greatest one off beat of all time. I couldn’t imagine there being anybody who was freestyling in the late 90s in NY who didn’t spit over Spencer Bellamy’s “Tried By 12.” This is my first time seeing the video, but it’s about as grimy as you’d expect.

Spencer’s working on a new album for East Flatbush Project that should be out sometime this year. Here’s one of the new tracks if you’re interested –> http://33jones.com/blogentry.asp?EID=432

Squarepusher did a tight double-time remix of this track that can be found on the third disc of Ninja Tune’s Xen Cuts collection.

Damn. Never knew this had a video. The bit at the end after DeS is done rapping is the best bit. No Spencer cameo?
