Trading Cards: YO! MTV Raps: #84, Tone Loc

First ever post on the new hotness that is Pop Cult Scan Fun, and the first of a wonderful non-sport trading card set - YO! MTV Raps Series 1, based on the MTV hiphop show of the same name.

I'll be busting out some of the other awesome cards over time, including Biz Markie in a lab coat and obscure-ass female Def Jam rapper Nikki D, hopefully, but in the meantime, here's one of the Tone Loc cards from the first series (as always, click through for a hi-res version):

    

A co-worker couldn't remember who Tone Loc was, which I was very disappointed by, since 'Wild Thing' and 'Funky Cold Medina' have given him his hall pass to hiphop fame in most people's books. Also, Ace Venture: Pet Detective, yay! But hey, the point of ephemera is that you can't remember, cos of the ephemerality, right? Also, as the back of the card notes: 'Tone is short for Tony, and Loc is short for Loco'. Aha!
