This is the first rap record I bought in '85 and I have never listened as much to a record as this one. I was totally in it. And yes like a true 80's guy I walked the street with a ghetto blast with this record on. On tape cassette offcourse.
After this record I bought many more rap records and saw hip hop developing in the coming years. And sadly for me the Fat Boys we're developing too.. The started as my rap superhero's and transformed to 3 guys with surfer shorts and sunclasses on stage and they are rapping about the twist with an old fellow. For the whole world to see (live aid). That was pretty phetatic.
But this record is all before that. And yes there very best production as a trio. It's really old skool rap and the human beat boxing is working very well with the raps. The are some great songs on this album (stick ém) but best known is The Jail House Rap. Cool song with a strong piano theme in it. I know that there's a videoclip made and aired on MTV of Jail House Rap.
