It is the bridge between the LA-electro rap of the mid 80s (with the drum maschine beats and synth baselines) and the sample based production of the late 80s. Even though it´s produced by a new yorker - Afrika Islam.<br /><br />I always thought that the Freestyle Fellowship talk about that album (and maybe 7A3) in "sunshine men":<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY3Woskun-M<br /><br />Also "I´m your Pusher" is pretty much the dopest song ever!<br /><br />JasperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-26822743927154698742011-11-24T09:14:46.305+00:002011-11-24T09:14:46.305+00:00I look at it that Ice was really the first conscio...I look at it that Ice was really the first conscious Gangsta-Rapper, because his street records always had some sort of message and he was a master of delivering them without being heavy-handed. I mean, shit, as a total outsider <i>New Jack Hustler</i> seems to me to be as definitive a comment on Black America as, say, <i>The Ghetto</i> or <i>A Bird In The Hand</i>. Oh well, at least Pimp C recognised him as a pioneer.<br /><br />But, yeah, <i>O.G</i> is a total masterpiece, and <i>Drama</i>, <i>Soul On Ice</i> and <i>High Rollers</i> from <i>Power</i> are some of my fav' Rap songs ever.Kelvin Mack10ziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520899595495383643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-51274452355065007972011-11-24T03:51:21.658+00:002011-11-24T03:51:21.658+00:00Ha, yeah, Ice had a fly shirt on there.
The junki...Ha, yeah, Ice had a fly shirt on there. <br />The junkie: http://www.wallkrushcrew.nl/?cat=3&subcat=9<br />Could that be DJ Evil E? Not sure. <br />The flat top dude from the video - is that BDK?<br />Ice-T. Rarely mentioned on blogs, seldomly acknowledged as the pioneer he is. Everybody tells me that his first important song, 6 In the Morning, is derivative of Schoolly D, and a lot of his style and ideas copied from other rappers. But why wasn't he called out for biting back then, in those times when that was supposedly considered a deadly sin?<br />Whether original or not, Ice-T was fucking great. O.G. Original Gangster was the first rap album I listened to, and really loved, when I was 12 years old. (Well, along with As Nasty As They Wanna Be and Apocalyse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black - I still love the intro track, Nighttrain, Can't Truss It, ...Arizona, and Shut Em Down (OG) off that. Original Gangster is an untouchable classic, though, and most of as Nasty still listenable. Even Get Loose Now, a song that actually should be corny, without the signature dirty rapps - but those sampled drums in combination with Mixx's 808 are killer. Would play that in a club today. - Sorry for tangent. I'm taken back to a better time by watching that video and thinking about ny first listening experiences in hip hop). Body Count was the first rock I listened to (along with Living Color. Well, today the only rock Im listening to is Hendrix. Nothing else comes close.)<br /> I'm quite sure that all that music would sound like coming from Mars (no Lil Wayne) to todays' young hip hop fans. Fuck, I feel old.scjohahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499974743664742130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-78932041539929236062011-11-23T18:38:22.540+00:002011-11-23T18:38:22.540+00:00Not sure, Bradley, but he does he familiar.Not sure, Bradley, but he does he familiar.Kelvin Mack10ziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17520899595495383643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-86298422321878589152011-11-23T13:25:43.097+00:002011-11-23T13:25:43.097+00:00My favorite entry in the canon/use of Bounce, Rock...My <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6shr755rFs" rel="nofollow">favorite entry</a> in the canon/use of <i>Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll</i>.donehttp://bothkinds.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006567597939825751.post-60843116573955533742011-11-23T13:11:21.577+00:002011-11-23T13:11:21.577+00:00is the bloke in the headband an actor? he looks fa...is the bloke in the headband an actor? he looks familiar.bradnoreply@blogger.com
