This funky glitch breaks remix of 'Little Giants' classic 'Mind The Gap,' will have you bouncing around the dancefloor in no time! Based in Los Angeles, hailing from the late 90's east coast rave scene, Friskie Business has been pushing the funk sound for almost two decades. Extremely active in the Southern California festival scene. Stay tuned for more mashups and remixes from this talented dj and producer! Thanks for donating this track to 'The Little Giant Acorn Foundation For The Arts' and 'Little Giant Acorn Records.'
Los Angeles based producer Nick Alvarado and vocalist EVeryman have teamed to form Little Giants, who aim to make proper hip-hop music for your mind, body and soul. Pairing inspired, thought-provoking lyrics set over crisp, funky beats, the sounds of Little Giants harken back to the golden era of hip-hop. This release commemorates the memory of Nick 'Pumpkin' Alvarado, who touched thousands of people with his signature music productions and acclaimed DJ sets at top music festivals and clubs across the US and abroad. He tragically passed away on March 25th 2016, but his generous spirit and magical music will continue to live on.
To honor his memory, Nick's best friend and Little Giants production partner, Evan 'Everyman' Shafran, started The Little Giant Acorn Foundation for The Arts, a non-profit organization that helps children get started in music or the performing arts who otherwise could not afford to do so. Nick absolutely loved to share his passion for music and performance art with the next generation and nothing gave him more joy.

lyrics:
-----------------
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the ryhthm react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space tween the kick and the clap
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the rhyme react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space tween the kick and the clap
-----------------
Boom Bap this is rap from the heart
Took a nap now i'm back to take a crack at my part
If music is art, then i'd like to paint a landscape
Whip it up, squash it flat, flip it like a pancake.
for pete and pete's sake, old school like snick
say we make a track, and make it sick
do it your way, just like bk
shout out to brooklyn, LA caught you lookin
the boom in the bap that helps the tick in my talk
the quick in my walk, that brings the light after dark,
hark! it's hip hop right from the start
that illuminates my mind through creative sparks
we in talks like Ted, we get stoned like fred
Rubble like barney just to get it through your head
Pebbles of knowledge, wham bam, thank you ma'am...
Boom in the place with the bap, we go bam!
-----------------
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the ryhthm react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space between the kick and the clap
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the rhyme react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space between the kick and the clap
-----------------
Back zoomin, we be bap boomin
In a zoobalee-zoo,with mammals actin like humans
spirit with a body not a body with a soul
become an animal when the vibration grabs a hold
Ok, Ok, all my pals in the corral
No more bull, giddy up, all the guys and gals
Turnip the bass 'cause the beets is bad
Got my pig in my pen, and my pen and my pad, say
doom crap, we've had enough of that
Buck up, n pull up by by your boot strap
Toes tap, and ha, imagine that
When the beat calls my name I gotsta holla back
The music be the movement, Little Giants we be groovin
party people where you at? Keep your body steady movin
If the vibe is less than groovy 'cause the groove is less than soothin'
let the DJ know what's doin', turn it 'round like lazy susan
-----------------
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the ryhthm react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space between the kick and the clap
Boom bap, you best mind the gap,
It's the space between the beats that makes the rhyme react
It goes boom boom bap, you got to mind the gap
there's heaven in the space between the kick and the clap
-----------------
Low on funds, lay low and write puns
less is more, more or less, we get the job done
pursuit of happiness, for the fun not the funds
unified transformation, many become one
when i hear the beat slap it's the big bang boom
in my room, in my headphones, all-consumed
all-encompassed, a deep kick and i swoon,
so you thump this nonstop july until june
nothing makes me smile like the amen break
have my cake, eat it too and lick the plate
nothin' makes me smile like a dj cuttin'
won't shut you down with the push of a button
nothing makes me nod my head like the thump and the slap
and some (boom bap original rap)
refreshing when you hear it little giants like that
and we thank krs with a tip of the hat
