Lovebug Starski - Say What You Wanna Say (1986)

[whtchocla7e]

This beat is so rich that I hear new things every time I listen.

It's like pure hip hop and new age space electronic shit all mixed into one. This track must be from the future.

Still sounds way ahead of its time in 2012.

And props for awesome footage to go along with the sounds.

I heard this song ONCE when I was 15 on Dutch radio. One of the stations (VPRO) was very progressive in bringing hiphop to a wider audience. I remember the DJ saying the guitar riffs by Dave Stewart were played backwards on this track. The name of the song plus the name of the artist stayed with me for 24 years, that's how much I loved the song. It's STILL awesome! And I FINALLY found it!!! Thanks for posting this.

[discoverydavid]

Man that ethereal string and guitar sample in the back just makes me go gooey all over...luved this period going into house ambient hip hop all mixed up in this huge creative pool of sound ...I guess really down to the fact that no titles/pigeon holes existed yet..the music just was! WICKED EPIC AND FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL MAN LIKE A DAWN AT AN AFTERS PARTY!

[greeneny]

Hey ... beautiful vid here for a record I produced back in the day. You choice of visuals for the intro is perfect.

I emailed it to T bone who co wrote it and raps here with Starsky. I know he's gonna love it.

[nldrayson]

Thats cool, actually the intro, at least the first 50 sec of the vid, I didn't edit. Search for "Big fun in the Big Town" I used footage from that documentary. Credit goes to them.

[rotheshep]
