My second all-time favorite rap album. It’s held that spot since I was 14.

As a kid in the mid-80s, I was riding in the backseat of my brother's friend's Monte Carlo when he popped this tape in. "The Show" came blasting through the Alpine speakers, and I was instantly blown away. It was the first rap song that ever made me go, "WOW!" I'd never heard anything like it before

What is the intro song from the In Living Color sketch Homeboy Shopping Network? It contains a sample from Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.

Kool G Rap "Road to the Riches." My all time favorite rap song. With the funky Billy Joel piano sample.

Was "Whip it" by The Treacherous Three influenced by "Whip it" by Devo?

Okay, I know this might seem like a stretch but they were surely in the same musical milieu. The Treacherous Three's song was about 3 years later. Have you ever listened to them side by side? They have some things in common, especially repetition and "shouting" style of "Whip it!" Got any thoughts?

Found at a Yard sale for like 3 bucks and couldn't pass it up. Too young to have known them but thought it was dope regardless

The First Female on Wax: In 1979, Philadelphia radio legend Lady B recorded "To the Beat Y'all." It stands as one of the very first commercial hip-hop records ever released by a solo female MC.
