Lol…this one popped up on my playlist yesterday at the gym.
Speaking of Plan 9, wasn’t there one out on Seminole Trail too?

Oh snap Plan 9 I totally forgot about that spot. There was one on Seminole Trail but rumor was the one on the corner always had the better finds.

Corner was definitely better. Way different vibe out at Seminole Trail. You could hit the Charlottesville library, ACAC, and then Plan 9 in one swoop and it was a very similar demographic. But also wayyyyyy easier to get to once you became a townie because of the parking.

Yup I used to do tae kwon do in the summers out there and afterwards i was supposed to go to the library and read while I waited for my ride. Most days I’d go for a min then I’d sneak over to plan 9 amd browse. I was like 11 or 12 so i had no money. On the last day my ride caught me running back to the library. He was cool and didnt tell my mom though.
But if you could go to the one on the corner then you had street cred in homeroom

Well you know what song is in my head now. my cable has some random station ONE or some shit and they do all these programs called UNsung which is always these kinda groups featured. Is awesome to say the least
Also this song insinuates way too much commitment for me

Absolutely hated this song when it came out but it certainly encapsulates that era of R&B for me

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread BUT I discovered this podcast and if you’re a fan of the golden era of hip-hop, you have to check it. So many great behind the scenes stories:
