Calling all record collectors

For anybody out there who likes to surf eBay or garage sales, I am very interested in obtaining a copy of the album "It's My Cadillac (Got That Bass)" by MC Nas D. I'm looking to spend less than the $16.98 Amazon wants for it. The title track has significant sentimental value to me, for two reasons:

1. During my fifth-grade camp experience, my camp counselor used to play a cassette tape on his boombox which had nothing but taped songs from 96.3 FM. (This was a couple of years before 96.3 became "The Planet". Many years after 96.3 became "The Planet", 96.3 turned into the watered-down, lame-ass bland pop station it is today. But back in 1992, 96.3 was like the current 88.7 FM -- they played rap and rock, they swore on the air, and they were generally very very hip.) The Cadillac song was on that tape, and we played it over and over again -- it was unbelievably catchy.

2. I have a blurry memory of hearing the Cadillac song at some future date at Skate World, the local roller skate rink. I'm guessing the memory is blurry because my first (and last) attempt at roller-skating ended in me falling heels-over-head and landing on my skull. I still have the bump. Anyways, I seem to remember the Cadillac song cheering me up as I wondered whether or not I had a concussion.

I have not heard this song, save for the Amazon 30-second preview, since the Skate World experience. Please help me hear it again! Thanks!

P.S. Thanks to Kristine for discovering the name of the song and the identity of the artist, all from me mentioning "1992" and "Cadillac... bass,bass". I suppose I could have Googled it myself, but she deserves the credit nonetheless. :)
