late 80s.no rappers were getting played on the radio that I recall MAYBE hammer and tone loc kinda shit but real rap rap?
no.
except late at night the local college radio station would play some rap and i recall it as being uncut altho i know that is impossible now
id listen on the lowest volume setting on my clock radio at night so my mom didnt hear
one night dj played this and i recognized the beat immeadiately as al green but the words.
i had not heard anyone rap like that before seemed so...smooth. effortless.
i was amazed and astonished. i found a store that sold the album and bought the tape...my first purchase of music with my own money
i played that sucker to DEATH.
rakim is the greatest of all time period
on sabbatical.
does it really matter?
wonder what bin's doing? http://i.imgur.com/phECCMp.jpg
