It might seem corny as hell but back in 1985 or so this was it...That beat is still fire!

I wonder where Joeski Love is these days

 
1984...ALBUM>>>ESCAPE>>>WHODINI...I saw them on the FRESH FEST TOUR in '84 or '85 with RUN DMC, LL, FAT BOYS, KURTIS BLOW, UTFO and about 5 other acts.

 
This track and style was so far ahead of its time. But it took them a minute to drop an album. By that time many had stole the sound and rhyme style. But that my take on it.

My bad this was out in about 1994 - 1996 frame not really 25 year old

 
Unfortunately a lot of early 80's hip hop hasn't aged well. I give the old school artists props and respect for laying the groundwork in creating a new art form, but some of it sounds dated and corny.
On the other-hand, Whodini still knocks. RIP to Larry Smith, the most underrated hip hop producer of all-time. I put him in my top 5.
 
1990...ALBUM...ALL FOR ONE...BRAND NUBIAN...

A STRAIGHT-UP CLASSIC ALBUM!!! It changed the entire direction of the culture.

A great, great song!!! This is the edited version.

The original version has a:
  • BLACK MAN in white face with horns playing the devil.
  • Feeding the youth poison animals
  • Mis-educating the youth
  • Lying about who is GOD
  • The Preacher stealing money
Gay ass MTV banned the shit out this video.

That was a powerful video. I remember the first time I saw the video, I was shocked, blown away and speechless but a good way. Thought we were really on the road to some truth, being told

If anybody knows of the video I'm speaking of up it if you can or just provide a link:

Peace BROTHER,

I listen to early 80's, mid 80's and late 80's HIP-HOP for what it is and was at that time. As you know the music went through some radical changes in the 80's. I really don't listen to much of the new stuff unless I catch a underground mix show or something where they digg'in and playing good music from the top 40 path.

I was just trying to through some different 80's flavor in the mix. I hope you enjoyed it.

Larry, was a monster and many kats have no idea regarding his breathe of work and all the hits he's responsible for. Yes, I agree definitely one of the top 5 greatest producers of all time and totally unsung.
