That was FAST!.......2007-06-13

I was so surprised how quick I got this order....Good JOB!

oldschool must have.......2006-02-11

If you came up in the mid 80's, I mean like in high school or something like that then you will know what I am talking about. This album and the series bring back so many memories. It was when rap was "happy" and the beats are what you paid attention to and you could actually rap the whole song with the MC. These tracks are oldschool and most younger people won't get the lyric's or beats. If you are over thirty then you have to get these and if you are younger you might learn some history.

Fantastic Beginnings of Hip Hop.......2005-10-21

A previous poster mad a really cruel review about this compilation series, and I've figured him all out. This individual is basically going on Amazon, and sampling soundbytes of certain albums, and just criticizing them just because he can. If you don't believe me, just check this person's listing of reviews. Every review is a "1 Star" Review, from Nine Inch Nails to The Killers. Please disregard his review, and listen to someone who actually "buys" and "listens" to music, and who was actually there during the beginnings of hip-hop. Many of these songs are still played at house parties, on mixshows, tv shows, and movies. The cool thing is that many jams of this era's hip hop was very lighthearted, fun, non-violent, and even downright silly, BUT they got the butts on the dancefloor, and that's what has been missing in hip hop and rap. This whole series I would recommend to anyone who is interested in historical origins of genres and sub-genres, or just want to relive a more innocent time. But like those kids on Reading Rainbow would say, "Don't Take MY Word For It"

Ok for Ol' Schoo' Listeners.......2007-05-29

Good stuff and nostalgic....however, I wish they would have had the extended version of everything (specifically Royal Cash's Radioactive). Oh well...

On a whole, a good list of stuff for the high side 30-somethings to remember their youth!

In some ways, the best of the worst.......2005-06-05

Anyone familiar with my postings knows that I am an absolute HATER of the high-tech drek and computerized synthesizer-banging garbage that flooded the airwaves and dancefloors as well as assaulting eardrums and good taste in the early 80s. But there are a few good tunes here. Royal Cash's "Radio Activity" was to me the best of this genre because as much as I despise synthesized music, this was a clever, catchy, and funky little tune filled with funny catch-phrases (who that-who that-who that trying to be bad) and comedy routines ("I have an electronic stereo..it has dolby noise reduction..." if you remember the tune from 1983-84, I need not say more). Some decent rap from Whodini is on "5 minutes of Funk" and a little bit of good R&b is on Skyy's "Call Me" and "Walking on Sunshine," but as far as "Shackles on My Feet," "Tour De France," etc. ad nauseum...YECCHH!!! They can keep that!

2 Thumbs Up.......2000-01-05

WOW! What a great CD! Bring back the 80's man! This CD has all of the songs from the earily 80's Break Dancing Era. I enjoyed Radioactivity and Tour De France the most. "Let's Jam, Let's Jam Radioactivity" and "Pal la vue misure, Tour De France Tour De France" (smile). I was a 3rd grade break dancing and pop locking when these songs were released back in 1983. Last, "Shackles" by R.J.'s Latest Arrival was the best break dance song ever written. This is the best CD I have ever purchased that has the 3 most popular break dance and pop locking songs from that time period. This is a must buy and I highly recommend this CD because it contains some of the songs and artist who pioneered Rap and Hip Hop with Electronic Beats, Drum machines, and Mixing and Scratching. "Shackles on my feet, won't let me dance, Shackles on my feet won't let me stand, turn up the music that has a nice beat, Turn it up loud and take these shackles off my feet." Can you see me break dancing I am so happy I finally found these song after years of searching for the lost 12 inch records and CDs(smile and jam with me)?

This is a really good complilation. DC Go-Go is really underated and this album could put it on the map. This album represents right and gives u a taste of what DC go-go has to offer. I think DJ Kool Could have added a few more Backyard songs, and probably the most famous go-go song "Overnight Scenario" by rare essense, which was remade by Jay-z. But i hope a lot more people try out this album so go go can be put on the map.

DC's own music.......2000-02-20

excellent CD, this is my 2nd copy the 1st is a bit worn. If youve spent any real time in DC youve heard of Go-Go , if your lucky youve seen it live, if not pick up this CD and you'll know why its so HOTT! Peace

Funke collection.......2006-08-14

Let me start by saying that Kool Moe Dee is the most underrated rap pioneer ever. His rhymes were complex, witty, energetic and they still sound dope till this day. Let's Go and Death Blow are two excellent LL Cool J diss records that go into the classic category. Songs like Go See The Doctor, How Ya Like Me Now, I Go To Work, Funke Wisdom, Wild Wild West and Knowledge Is King are all classics that remind you of an MC that most battle rappers bit their style from. There are no fillers here just timeless gems from one of the best pioneers we ever had. Oh yeah to that bum sweating Busy Bee, you need a foot shoved up your a** like a suppository! Busy Bee was a party rapper and he wasnt even good at his craft! Kool Moe Dee crushed him just like he crushed LL and that's your hero? You should be ashamed of yourself!

This Guy is only embarising himself by releasesing this crap.......2006-01-28

This music is garbage. Busy Bee was talented he could really rock the crowed.

This guy sneak attacked Busy Bee & that's the only reasion why people liek him. He desrives no credibilty since his rhymes are wack.

Another disappointment from Tommy Boy.......2006-11-27

If you read my review from volume one of this series, you'll get a general idea of the rest of the cd's. The shocker on this volume is Dana Dane's "Cinderfella", which, again, sounds like a bad vinyl recording. My 12inch single sounds much better. Tim Dog's "F**k Compton" is totaly butchered up due to the constant "reversing" of every curse word he utters (which is lot!) on this track, so it ruins the emphasis of the song.

Before Flex Went Corporate Pt. II {4 Stars}.......2006-09-10

Why Flex calls his albums 60 minutes of funk when they're more like 72 minutes of funk is beyond me. Not that it's a bad thing though, Flex brings the noise on this album. There are plenty of bangers and club rockers on this album. It has a lot more meat to dig into this time around. His first album was good, but there was a severe drop off toward the end of that album. Flex does a great job of blending, scratching, and juggling on Volume 2. Jay Z freestyles, DJ Kool snippets, classic old school rap, it's all there for the taking on this LP.

The first problem I have with this album is the use of 70's funk. I'm as big a fan as anyone of classics like "Flashlight", "Outstanding", and "Rising To The Top", but they stuck out like sore thumbs. Simply put, they didn't fit on the album....and he didn't blend them very well either. Secondly, whoever told Mary J. Blige she could rap should be tied up and forced to listen to her horrid rapping for a month straight. Also, if you're looking for the 12" version of the classic "No Joke/Follow Me" (which is mixed and scratched 20 times better than the album version), then look elsewhere, it's not included on this album. I actually bought the single on wax before I bought this album and I remember being thoroughly disappointed. The rest of the album is pretty tight though.

The Mixtape Volume II: 60 Minutes Of Funk is the last great Funkmaster Flex album. Volume III is good, but it's where Flex starts to lose his street appeal and aims for the mass appeal. If you want to hear some dope stuff from back when Flex still had his ear to the street, then check this and Volume I out. Two thumbs up from this listener.

Standout Tracks: Boot Camp Clik Freestyle (My Favorite), Back To Like (However Do You Want Me), Clear My Throat, Nas Freestyle, No Joke/Follow Me, Sucker MC's, Tour, Jay Z Freestyle, Relax & Party, Puff Daddy & Mase Freestyle, Lil' Kim Freestyle, I'm Not Feeling You, and Lady Saw Freestyle

This CD Is Hot.......2001-06-06

Me being a DJ myself this is probably one of the most impressive cds i have heard in a while. With flex you can always count on him beacsue hes got the beats and the top rap stars to make this cd a hit. it has like 45 tracks mosstietly freestyle but thats aight still got a t least 82 minutes of audio. so get this cd or any other funkmaster flex cd. Mix tape volume 4 is the best.

It's alright..........2000-06-14

The beats are alright but their nothing compared to the newest CD, The Tunnel. Most of the songs are alright, the best being the Busta Rhymes song.

"A true history of Rap".......2005-08-29

This compilation is one of the best ever made! KB compiled the best of the best, and made sure to give you the full, 12" versions (except for "JAZZY SENSATION"). The sound quality is incredible! These jams never sounded better! Nothing less than pure, classic Hip-Hop material!!

Part of an indespensible history series.......2001-07-20

Part 2 of an excellent overview of the origins and history of rap music. This volume has the earliest true rap hits, including 2 classics by Kurtis Blow himself and some tracks that have been unjustly forgotten. Great sound and terrific "insider" liner notes by Blow that put these tracks in their historical context.

From the Innocent Age of Rap.......2001-06-30

If you were a teenager at the time, you'll love this. These fun, funky tunes will remind (or educate, if you weren't there) you of the days when kids eagerly listened to the radio to await the newest rap records (since they were rare at the time) and you could play these around your parents without shame. The Treacherous 3's "Feel The heartbeat," Jazzy 5's "Jazzy Sensation," Funky 4+1 More's "Rappin and Rocking the House" (unfortunately, this is not the complete 16 min version), "Funk You Up" and "Monster Jam" by the Sequence (featuring Angie Stone),etc. will all make you feel good to be alive-before NWA and those gangster idiots who followed destroyed rap music!

This CD is a classic on my records. Everytime I listen to this CD I think back when it had just came out, EVERYONE wanted to know the words, they would play it over, and over again. A real "time warp"!

CLASSIC ELECTRO.......2006-06-01

THIS IS A NICE COMPILATION. YOU GET SOME RARE TRACKS LIKE TECHNO SCRATCH, D.E.F. MOMENTUM AND SITUATION HOT. A LOT OF THESE SONGS YOU CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ELSE UNLESS YOU GET THEM ON 12" RECORD. SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A TURNTABLE I SUGGEST YOU PICK THIS UP.

So-so effort of late 80's 'rolling' music. Some gems. Some not-so-great cuts. Buy it if you can't find certain songs elsewhere.
