As you probably already know, this jawn comes off John Coltrane's Blue Train. Generally speaking, the whole album is worth copping, as it's only five tracks, and they all hold their own, even 50 years after the initial release date.
I'm Old Fashioned is slow, and relies on Coltrane's slower riffs that bite at you on occasion, but all the while soothing all malevolence.

John Coltrane-I'm Old Fashioned
DJ Screw-Stompin' In My Steel Toes (C-Bo) Screwed & Chopped
I've been making an conscious effort to cop more Screw tapes as of late. This 'ere is part one of said effort. Just a few days ago, I copped South Siders, sides A&B.
Apparently, DJ Screw really admired C-Bo, so Stompin' In My Steel Toes seems like a fair place to start. Although the OG version doesn't sound half as gully as the S&C version.
NOT THE S&C VERSION

Coop MC-Home Of The Killers
Not many people know about this album, which is a damn shame, since this shit is straight classic from intro to outro. Coop MC was a Texas based rapp slanger, who used a great deal of G-Funk among his gangsta-derived rhymes.
I can imagine there's countless TX classics from the mid-90's, but what makes Home Of The Killers so special is the adaptation of so many styles. Shit's laid-back in an almost indescribable manner, and is accompanied by the funkiest breaks one will ever lay ears on. Most importantly, Coop MC stays consistent for 12 straight jawns, and never duplicates the previous song, always bringing something new to the table.
Although the R&B hooks are type trite, this shit is easily worth the download, and probably worth your monies if you can find it at a reasonable price.
Choice Cuts:
Hangin' At 2
Real
Home Of The Killers
Where To Cop From:
1
Yeah, shit's somewhat hard to find.
Chapter 13-Only The Start
You already know that Chapter 13 drops straight heat right? Although few have heard of the Chicago-based group, know that their release Nevermore's Asylum is some uncannily ill shit.
The craziest thing about it is how every member of Ch. 13 can also produce with remarkable prowess. Young Valentine has chops, and you should already know that Rashid Hadee is a production god.

East Coast Avengers feat. Celph Titled & Statik Selektah-East Coast Overdose
East Coast Avengers is The Trademarc, DC The Midi Alien, and Esoteric. Together they released Prison Planet, which attempted to be the definitive answer to conservatism in the media (see Kill Bill O'Reilly).
When you temporarily ignore the Immortal Technique-esque aspect to the East Coast Avengers, you stumble upon right coast odes such as East Coast Overdose, which has one of the illest hooks of modern memory.

Scientifik-Internal Affairs
The Lawtown murdera. Someone just recently crafted a masterful compilation of Scientifik's non-album jawns, that features immaculate overtures a plenty.
Internal Affairs features an great left coast funk sample and some drum-laden heavy bass.

Tela-Piece Of Mind
Tela is a Memphis-based rapper who later signed to Rap-A-Lot, yet he released this record on Suave House Records. Shit's classic in many circles, and is definitely worth a listen on a rainy night.
The illest jawn is the album-titled track that sounds just as suave as the record label that released it.

Lonnie O-It's Lik Dat
From my extremely limited understanding, Lonnie O is an relatively unaccomplished Connecticut rapper from the mid-90's. Shouldn't be no surprise that he released the It's Lik Dat 12" in '94, since shit's John Blaze and all.
Also, watch for dukes' usage of the word 'ignoramus' at the 1:55 point. How you gonna front on my mans?

Cunninlynguists feat. Kory Calico-Mic Like A Memory
I posted this instrumental a long while back, and it looks like the higher forces had it taken down. Regardless, the Cunninlynguists are known for matching Kno's godly productions with mediocre rapps, however Mic Like A Memory is quite the exception.

Akinyele-Put It In Your Mouth
For a guy who crafted a masterful album entitled Vagina Diner, sex rap ain't shit. In opposition to the Ying Yang Twins or Lil' Kim, Akinyele actually approaches the subject matter with surprising sincerity. Rhyming anesthetic and chloroseptic while talking about putting a dick in one's mouth is some gully shit. Akinyele don't play.
