You really had to be there for this!.......2005-11-28

You really had to be a teenager on the east coast that was into Black music to know about this underground stuff! These were the jams that we-the first generation that was into hip hop, eagerly rocked to in late 1979-early 1980. These were from Enjoy Records, which was at the time the rival of Sugarhill Records in early recorded rap.

This includes the legendary "Rapping and Rocking the House" by the Funky 4+1 More. Unfortunately, this is the b-side whichy is shorter and does not contain the energy of the a-side that rocked parties in the ghettoes of the east coast during the era (I've yet to find the wonderful a-side in complete form on CD, but it's available on some websites on vinyl).

This also contains SUPERRAPPIN by Grandmaster Flash and His Furious Five. This has the raw, sparse beat that was actually popular in New York at the time and the title lives up to its name (this includes Melle Mel's "Child is born..." rap tale that was later made famous on "The Message"). The instrumental is here too. That was a common practice at the time to have instrumentals on the b-side of rap records so that aspiring rappers and djs could do their thing at paries.

Then we have "The Love rap" with Spoonie G and the Treacharous 3. I remember hearing this in the Bronx in late 1979 and the sparse beat and "to the Beat y'all" lyrics truly represent the old school of early rap. The Disco 4 and Dr. Ice raps were also popular at parties at the time.

All of this was straight-up underground music that rarely aired on the radio, so if you are a HARD core oldschool hiphop fan who is interested in what the early years of this music REALLY sounded like, then take it form one who was there-this is for you!

More true school early hip hop.......2007-02-16

These early records (roughly about 1980-81 from Enjoy Records) like this Cd's predecessor Vol. 1, shows what kids on the ghettoes of the US East coast were REALLY listening to at the time (I know, I was there).

Concentrating mostly on The Treacherous Three (featuring a soon-to-be famous Mohandas "Kool Moe Dee" Dewese), these tunes represent the chant-filled celebratory nature of the earliest recorded rap tunes before their long decline into gangster & misogynystic illiteracy. TT3"s "New Rap Languange" (because we rock-nonstop), "At The party" and the beloved "Fee The heartbeat" the latter based on Taana Gardner's regional hit "Heartbeat" were filled with a jiving cham that made young people feel good to be alive and made you shout as well s dance at parties at the time. Grandmaster Flash's "Superrappin 2" is almost identical to its predecessor aside from the interesting synthesizer break (and this from a man who has a lifelong hatred of overly synthetic music) near the end.

Unfortunately, coroportate R&B at the time did not realize how Black teens on the east coast in particular had grown tired of their homogonized product and flocked to this sort of thing, so this music did not get the recognition it deserved outside of the aforementioned area. But those who were familiar with it loved it as only teenagers could at the time. Modern hip hop fans would do well to see where the TRUE SCHOOL started.
