Duke Bootee – Broadway

This was a tune back in 86. Still bust this today. The Duke was a legend
R.I.P. You will always be remembered as a pioneer off HIP Hop.

I've loved this song since I first heard it on John Peel's Radio 1 show back in 1986. I've been after it on MP3 or CD for years so I can play it on my show, in the end I had to buy it on vinyl and rip it. Brilliant!!

It's a bummer that, in my mind, Duke's solo offering ranks toward the bottom of the BATB collection of releases. As the architect of the label, I really thought that he would come forth with something that set NJ, NY, and anybody else "in the know" on their ears. Sadly, this falls short, especially in comparison with the excellent "Hard to the Body," and "Triple Threat." Not to worry though... this record will withstand this review and the sands of time. This seventy five word minimum on these reviews is killing me but, hey, there are worst things in the world. I just recently finished gathering excellent versions of all of the BATB releases and will unload to any interested members.
