Brooklyn Zoo "Masters of Zooniverse" (1995)
Back into random indie territory for this joint, a '95 banger from Brooklyn Zoo. Never heard from the producer or any of the MC's in this crew before (or after) this twelve, but this joint is hype:
The 12" contains two versions of the same theme, basically just shit-talk and bigging up Brooklyn/Zoo York/the Zooniverse/etc. "Original Brooklyn Zoo" is the stronger version; the energy of the production and posse of MC's can't help but propel this into the realm of hype-f*cking-shit. You gotta chant along with the chorus; it seems like the whole world is anyways. Love the low-key vocal sample underlying the production.
"Masters of the Zooniverse" is essentially the same lyrics, re-recorded with a new instrumental, which is tight (simple piano loop with lots of sound effects) but tones things down a bit. Still dope, though.
Includes the two cuts mentioned, as well as instrumentals for both.

Nice blog, you're dropping tight shit here. I would be glad, if you check out my new blog: www.thacyruz.blogspot.com

I read once that O.D.B. got shot by a crew in brooklyn because they were reppin the brooklyn zoo name before brooklyn zu came out is it the same crew?
thanks for the rare music!
sorry, never found out much about the history of this crew...anyone?
Yeah i found that article it was in a december 99 source mag-
"...And why do people just accept that this guy keeps getting shot?
After his solo release dudes stopped Dirty on the street to beef over the name Brooklyn Zoo, a title that his clique in Bed-Stuy was going by.They demanded that Dirty lie on the ground.Dirty told them to "catch me running" and was subsequently shot in the back..."
thx for the info...damn, no bullshit with that "fight for the name!" hook.
These cats were from around my way in CONEY ISLAND, BROOKLYN "T.F." Together Forever crew. peace, DJ/Producer L-ROCK BROOKLYN. facebook.com/medinasoul, instagram.com/lrockbrook
