Slow BurnNo JusticeAmong the earliest memories of EarBuds curator Justin are scenes of the L.A. Uprising flashing across the TV and the destruction it, and later the Northridge Earthquake left in their wake. Still, nothing animates the era more to him than Pac's lyrics in "Hellrazor": "Dear Lord if ya hear me, tell me why / Little girl like Latasha, had to die / She never got to see the bullet / just heard the shot / Her little body couldn't take it / it took and dropped."RIP Latasha Harlins. We all should know her story.

She's Coffy. Foxy Brown. Jackie Brown. Who else is that cool!? Curator Justin didn't know about Pam's early days much. This episode of

The Plot Thickens
