went to this link and turned on my audio to hear a wonderful retake on thanksgiving featuring the beatnuts ’strokes’ intro from stone crazy juxtaposed by the thanksgiving play scene from the adams family. it was only after the video stopped that I realised I’d left the beatnuts playing when I last switched of my audio. SERENDIPITY BONUS SCORE.

’seriously you should try it’

I can’t be bothered to edit and post on youtube but it was nice.

I found this biog on All Music:

Audio Two Biography by Andy Kellman

Siblings of MC Lyte and a pair of the most notorious gay-bashers in hip-hop, Audio Two — Gizmo Dee and Milk — released a trio of albums during the late ’80s and early ’90s, each of which had good moments drizzled throughout patches of filler. The Brooklyn brothers were signed to First Priority by the label’s president, their father. “Top Billin’,” “What More Can I Say,” and “Hickeys Around My Neck” won the duo some fans, but it wasn’t enough to make the album worthy of classic status. I Don’t Care: The Album followed in 1990 and featured “Whatcha Lookin’ At?,” the most homophobic track in their catalog. Despite an appearance from their sister, the album flopped. The First Dead Indian closed out their run in 1992.

Is this biased? I dunno I don’t particuarly remember them being homophobic, or at least any more than was generally the case in Hip Hop at the time. Maybe I’m missing some information. Help me out here.
