Reviews & Discussion
referencing Unity, 12", TB 847
In my opinion a classic example of what Hip Hop was and has gone so far away from. When Hip Hop was about showing moves on the dance floor. Unity was glorified and peace the ultimate purpose. No modern Rapper could understand the genius of Bambaataa and Mr. Brown with releases such as these because their direction in there ignorance, is here on earth, or a lateral direction, while this song "Unity" is an unmistakable direction upward. Bless these guys I miss these days very much.

The Godfather of Hip Hop meets the Godfather of Soul. This is very much a funk record, with Bambaataa and James Brown equally providing lyrics. The last track is entirely acapella, and is popular for sampling, most notably Bambaataa's line "Shake your rump-ah" used by the Beastie Boys.
