@dj touche & @tazghettojunglist - i have wondered for years whether it was the same kenny dope too - it probably was as he had hip hop roots & also whether it was the same dj pooh that was down with king tee - i cant recall hearing todd terry but will have another listen - fantastic tune good old john peel - what a legend
@mkwpompeyfc It is the one and only Kenny Dope from MAW. The other DJ is called DJ Boo though, not Pooh. And if I remember correctly Afrika from the Jungle Brothers is credited as an 'ear advisor' on the back of the album. With beats by Todd Terry (around the same time as the Royal House album) this is an all star production.
The Kenny Dope he mentions is actually Kenny Dope Gonzales! He was the DJ and produced this track, before he got into releasing house / freestyle music.
I've been looking for this LP. I was a high school student in Japan (!) and my friend, who was a big music nerd like myself, had this just-released LP! I haven't seen this LP since then. This is a very hard to get record. A criminally overlooked (or just unknown) hip hop album ever released.
I'm lucky enough to have this lp and spinning this recently after such a long time just thought they really don't make albums like this no more - it's a lost art for sure.
@thirdpirate I WAS DJing AT A DUNBAR H.S PARTY PLAYED YOU GOT THE TIME AND EVERY BODY WAS LOOKING LIKE WTF? DID'NT KNOW REAL HIP HOP IF IT SMACK THEY AZZ..LOL GOOD OLE DAZE WHEN YOU COULD TELL THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN HIP HOP AND RAP AND YOU JUST KNEW BETTER LIKE EVEN THO SALT & PEPA ,RUN DMC, LL ,WAS HIP HOP THEY HAD ALOT OF COMMERCIAL JOINTS LIKE WHODINI BUT CUT MASTER DC THE POET, KAOS, ILL CHIEF ROCKERS, MANTRONIX ,45 KING, EVEN LATIFAH AT FIRST THAT WAS HIP HOP TO ME
Ii have been looking for this record since 1988 when i lost the tape i made from WNUR (Chicago) Streetbeat .....Major props to DJ NEE for finding this song
Hi DJ Nee, thank you for the Kaos post. It's nice to hear the jams from back in the days. Do you have the Kaos's song called the Let's do it again? It was on the same album and the song was like I need love by LL Cool J's slow beat rap melody. I would love to hear the song again.
maaaaaan l've been searching for this, good lookin out djnee

Aww shit...the Jumpoff!
Why'd they went to that "Ay ay ay ay..." stuff for the rest of the tape I'll never know.
I remember I bought the tape for two bucks and bumped it in my homie's mom's Corsica! Boomin' Delco!
Wow...flashback!
