Recommended breakfast listening…(Def Jam Week coming very soon on @fatlacemag)
In the mood for some Ike?
What were the chances of getting this classic in a box of ‘vinyl coasters’?
This album was the shit. Especially ‘Death Of Hip-Hop’ by Kool DJ E.Q.
R.I.P. Heavy D. We will certainly reminisce over you.
Shout out Miroslava Gonzalez, just sayin’…(one for the headz)
Sad new about Sylvia Robinson (Sugar Hill Records) passing today. With such a huge catalogue of music it’s hard to pull out a couple of records to highlight the importance of her contribution to rap music and music as a whole. It could be argued Rappers Delight was the blueprint for modern RnB as we know it.
Anyway, I’ve picked West Street Mob as that was the first Sugar Hill 12” I ever bought and became an early Electro anthem for me. Then I picked Treacherous Three’s Xmas Rap because it featured in the movie Beat Street which I used to watch religously as a kid, to this day it’s the only rap record I own that I know every single word to by heart from beginning to end.
I’m starting a new series called ROTD - just to keep vinyl alive ‘n shit. Whatcha know about MC Shy D?
Introducing my son to the delights of Music De Wolfe. Bringing Big Beat back.
