Not tryna turn this site into a big memorial wall- what with the Group Therapy post from the other day and the B.I.G. post from last week and whatnot. However, this weekend marks what woulda been the 36th birthday of another great MC who lost his life at age 24.

Every celeb at one point was just another kid in class with hopes of going on to do bigger and better shit. I definitely wanted to be one of those myself, back when I was walkin’ the halls and banging on tables in the cafeteria every day. I’ve had some classmates make the news in a whole ‘nother way, but that’s about it so far.
Not sure if anyone here’s checked out CelebritySchoolPics.com yet, but that shit’s had me rollin’ for the last three weeks. Everybody from George Bush to Pinky are on there, with pics from their younger days. I’ve been known to put some of my own ridiculous-ass old pictures up, so this shit’s right up my alley. Since this is DanjLovesThe90s, here’s a few old school photos of some folk you mighta heard of.

Can’t lie… the Clue retro got me in that zone. BONUS!
(You know the drill- you want ‘em… click ‘em.)
Nas & Foxy Brown (1997): With Firm Biz in full swing, Nas Escobar and the Brown Fox drop gems on ‘em. I could do without the visual of Nas “bustin’ a nut on his fist”, but whatever works.
Killa Cam & Cardan (1997): A pre-Dipset Cam’ron and a pre-puberty Cardan go hard… LOL @ Cam “tryna sell records like Julio Iglesias“.
DMX & The Lox (1997): Before this beat went on to be used for his hit “Get At Me Dog”, a virtually-unknown X links up with Bad Boy‘s (then) latest act, The LOX. Jadakiss for the win, by the way.
Canibus (1997): Prior to all kinds of fuckery, Canibus was one of the most-anticipated new cats in the game. What an introduction.
Big L & McGruff (1998): The late great L and Harlem’s unsung legend Herb McGruff go in for Clue. Pause.
Mase, Killa Cam, Cardan, Noreaga, Imam T.H.U.G., and Tragedy (1997): For eight minutes, Biggie‘s “Who Shot Ya” and Dre’s “Bitches Ain’t Shit” instrumentals get jacked by the Harlem/Queensbridge connection.
Shyne & Fabolous (1999): While both were still in the shadows of the rappers they sounded like (Biggie for Shyne, Mase for Fab), these two Brooklyn reps put it down for the mixtapes in ’99.
Beanie Sigel & Memphis Bleek (1999): Known as the “1000 Bars” freestyle, this was Beanie’s first jump into the mixtape scene. He and fellow Roc representer Bleek get it on.
Ready for Summer? Get back at me on Monday!
-D!
