Want to show to my girlfriend how many people still listen to old school 80's hip hop as she switched the cd player off around 30 times today as she said that Public enemy's Rebel Without A Pause sounds like it has a f#@*in tent kettle boiling in the background and that this music is crap, i no for a fact that many people stillplay this stuff so if can please reply with your fave' 80's oldies, cheers mat
Yep, got Rebel Without a Pause on 12", bought it in 1987, also got Yo! Bum Rush the Show on import that year too . Got most of their stuff. Tons of Mantronix, BDP, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, Stetsonic, Eric B, most of Kool Moe Dee's stuff, Digital Underground, Grand Master Flash, West Street Mob (proper 1979-1980 Hip Hop), Davy DMX, some dodgy Rock Steady Crew stuff, Marley Marl, Ultra Magnetic, Whodini, all of Run DMC's stuff. I have all of the Streetsounds Electros The list goes on & on & on & on I even have the Christmas Rap album somewhere (1987) I used to live in the record shop I think I still collect early Hip Hop 1979 - 1985-ish. I recently got Captain Rock on CD, having most of his stuff on record it was nice to get.
