Throwback Thurdays: Rakim x Biz Markie - "Wyndance" [prod. Rob Swift]

Rap legends Rakim and Biz Markie rocked the lunchroom of Wyndanch High School in Strong Island, NY back in 1985 or so and yesterday mixtape DJ Gudtyme (also responsible for that crazy Nas & Akinyele throwback) released this bionically-augmented recording of that performance, beefed up with a new backbeat courtesy of Rob Swift cutting up "Impeach The President" underneath the vocals. Couldn't think of a more fitting post for Throwback Thursdays or a better excuse to spend an hour f**king around with photoshop, so stream below and check Ra & Biz posing above for the best album never recorded. "Wyndance" will be included on a forthcoming mixtape called, appropriately, Lunchroom Battles (find art with tracklist after the jump).
