Most of the people that say this is wack probably lack perspective. It's hard for someone that can't relate to the era or vibe that was present when the music was made. This record was strictly east coast. You probably would not have heard this when released unless you were in the NY area in 1980. I would not categorize this as preachy. They rapped for a minute about Iran to display versatility. In the late 70's and early 80's, everyone felt the energy crisis, so it fit.
yes, hip hop from the old school, was more fun & enjoyable to listen to than the stuff we hear now in 2010. but remember, if any type of music doesn't continue to change & evolve with the times, it will fade out-just like dico music & rock & roll music. shit, does club or house music even exist anymore?
@sasquatch13ja That's from a purely marketing/commercial standpoint. Art transcends all that. The only real "fading" going on is the quality of music that is so called "evolving with the times". There is nothing NEW about "new music".
This shit is wack. & b 4 u all start saying shit I'm not a kid. I'm 40 & love the old school. But not everything was hot back then. I would have thought this was wack back in the dayz as well.
@sonofsam717 This is hot. They were talking about the current issues of the day in 1980. The was years before Public Enemy and other conscience rappers. At least you can dance to it if you dont like the message.
Yeah I hear ya & it's all good. Not disin the message. But as a "JAM" it's wack. My parents once brought me a politically conscious record way back when to try and show me an alternative to the hard stuff I was listing to. That was wack too. I don't listen to hip hop for a lesson in current affairs. We have the news for that. I listen for a tight ass beat and crazy flows. Even back then. This joint would not have (and never did) play @ n e jams or parties I ever went to or DJ'd.
@sonofsam717 I feel you. There is a sound for everybody but in 1980 this was the sound in disco's and clubs. It's a rare groove but im sure in NYC it was hard to get played at parties with all the competiton.
I liked the rap in 1979, because of music like this. Because the oldschool has much funk. No funk = no hip hop ! The rap of today got nothing to do with it.
a girl made a video one year of her and her friend fake fighting, when another group of friends imitated ot, making them look stupid. one of the girls was so upset she took the video off youtube and never watched it again, until one night her tv flickered and played her video, she committed suicide, because you read this you have to post it to 5 videos or else she'll kill you in your bed tonigh
i love how they're rappin about President Carter, Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini and the Shah. You rarely hear MC's today rap about anything other than greed, luxary and crime.
