The Treach. 3 w/ Spoonie Gee Live @ Harlem World 1982 prt3/4

[Powerules]

This is an incredible set. I took so much pride in having all of the prominant tapes back in the 80's, but this is my first listen to this performance. Before there were any hip-hop records, this is how we enjoyed this form of art back in the day.

The Truest Essence of Hip Hop is to Entertain, Inspire, Encourage, Uplift, and Empower.. It's always been a Culture that embraced every Element Of the Inner City Experience.. Graffiti, Break Dancing "Dancing" Rapping "Emceeing".,.And friendly competitiveness. Not many fans of the Music can truly understand that, these days. This is a Peek into the Old School. It does give a great glimpse. It's time for a Modern Day Hip Hop Documentary.. School The World..

[MrDMack67]

This is TRUE GREATNESS! This underground culture and talent that many overlooked and took for granted has birthed perhaps THE MOST AMAZING displays of talents from out of the clear blue... WE are an AMAZING PEOPLE and this right here shows it! It has spread to all corners of the world! I AM HIP HOP for ETERNITY and I'm 42...

[omnigifted]

True School YaLL!! I definitely appreciate this joint, it takes me back to jams in the park Mr. Magic, The Awesome Two and on and on.. The Old School is The True School!! It's true that a lot of younger rappers will never know the real essence. Thanks for allowing those who do know to relive the old days..

[whitebeltnyc]

this is pure pleasure I grew up on this staying up all night to listen to mr magic. hip hop meant something its sad these young boys will never feel the real hip hop spirit

[troylsmith21]

whats up family does any one have any tapes to trade I have over 200 live shows from 1977 to 1983 peace

[mikekane13]

i am a little young; i was born in 1978, but i've been listening to hip hop my whole life.....i wish i had something from the original era.....i have a fabulous collection from the mid to late 80's on. Could you post any of your shows on here for us?

[rockjohnson80]

Rap in the early days...This takes you back when rap was all about the beats and the rappers. You either had it or you didn't.

[tee2701]

true dat some of these new rappers need to listen to this and under stand the true fundamentals of the rap game .u see how these guys even with bad audio these guys are still rockin. like u said either you have it or you dont .

[KeysdaGod]

Wow... easy Spoonie.... Man.. He jumps on that track Sooo hard! This is so humbling to listen to.. knowing that a lot of my style comes from Spoonie and Moe Dee...lol..but who's style isnt crafted after Moe Dee?

[cephusjones]

A lot of people don't know Kool Moe Dee is one of the most underrated great rappers of hip hop. He had a speed style of rhyming that he would go into sometimes that was off the hook. I used to listen to Hip Hop on 8-tracks. Things were a lot different then. Hip Hop was a treat and would NOT be played on the radio. They eventually started playing after midnight but I was too tired to stay up considering I was so young. Enjoy fam.

[laheadjr]

real true hip-hop baby

[ABmusic1]

I can't speak for him but speaking for my self-I used to DJ,Yo,this is Fresh,Dope..if U know what I mean I can't tell you enough how much I Appreciate & Enjoy hearing all of these live HipHop recordings & even the Old School Records,Keep up The GreatWork-HipHopHistory,AB!1

[ReturnFromTheGrave]

I understand. Turns out he IS serious about what he said... he just approaches it in a more carefree, party-going and fun-loving manner. It's VERY interesting to know that you used to be a DJ back when hip hop and rap were still in their infancy! It is no trouble at all to have uploaded all of these. I will TRY as hard as I can to keep uploading all of the old-school stuff (I've got U.T.F.O., Doctor Ice, LL Cool J and Run-DMC stuff planned later). :)

[BWizer]
