Attention fellow discogers, most of my hip-hop collection (mid-school-late 80s & 90s) will all be on sale within a few months so if there is anything you like e-mail me. As far as trades go, I am looking for west coast hip-hop/funk/electro from 1980-1987/88 <BR>

Kanye West. You either love him or hate him. Personal
feelings put aside, you cannot deny that the man has talent (although his notorious ego has many times prevented the due praise of his work). Many critics have hailed West in the past year as... See full review |

"Trow The D" was the first release on Luke's Skyywalker label, and similar to 4 Sight Record's "Beef Box", the first pressings differ from the later releases on the label. The first pressing was on a silver label [click on image for more details] and...

There are two versions of this CD, there is no physical way to know which version of the CD you have. The first version is more rare. After the CD came out, N.W.A. sued Tim Dog because he Jacked their song for his "Intro". Ruffhouse pulled all the...

"Wicked" Southern female rapper with a mainstream/club rap style. Predictable lyrical content, medicore delivery, and uneven production all comes off sounding amateruish and cliche. Overall a poor (wo)man's version of Lil' Kim or Missy... See full review |

This record was originally released in the United States on the Southern California-based indie hip-hop label Rank Productions in 1987 and was later reissued on Champion for the European market.

With the growing popularity of reply-records ignited by the "Roxanne" craze, several artists attempted to run with the format targeting other hit rap records. Doug E. Fresh's & Slick Rick's hit "The Show" became a likely target considering it was a...

Interesting fact: Hip-hop artist Cli-N-Tel in fact did not have a copy his "It's Time To Jam" 12" single and had been struggling to find a copy. Although he found an online Dutch record store that had a copy for sale, he refused to purchase it because...

Although uncredited, Trey Stone was responsible for providing the funky melodic keyboard and synthesizer sound effects on much of Byron Davis & The Fresh Krews' releases (with the exception of "I'm Just A Player).

The DJ for the Miami bass trio Anquette, who's original claim to fame was through their reply record "Throw That P", was in fact the brother of the 2 Live Crew's Mr. Mixx.

According to hip-hop/bass artist Byron Davis, the original production for the track "Supersonic" was programmed by Davis and close friend Special K on a Roland-808 drum machine and transferred onto a 4-track recorder in the apartment room of J.J....

According to an inside source, at one point Luther "Luke" Campbell had actually become the biggest investor for the 4-Sight Records label (at the same time Skyywalker Records was being operated) and was thus able to have clout in such affairs as...

This record was released late 1987, but both of these instrumentals would be used to death in 1988. R&B blends started to be real popular, and both of these instrumentals were popular choices as back-beats. -Review by MentallyMad

"Crack It Up" definately explains what was wrong with the Funkmaster. That song caught dumb flack, and Tuff City re-released this record with a cleaned up "Say No" message. It didn't matter because the real gem was the track "Can You Take a Hint". The...

Request Line got much airplay in NYC late in 1984 when it was released. The dub has the "Are We On The Air?" sample which was most notably used by the Audio Two on "Many Styles". The track "The Roof Is On Fire" got no airplay because of the explicit...

Many people do not know this but this is the 2nd Fresh Force record. The first was actually "Girls Ruling The World" by The Celebrity Club. They changed their crew's name on this record. The rappers who would become Kid-N-Play recorded the lyrics for...

This was another one of those borderline-wack funny Zakia Records. Aside from U.T.F.O., Shante', or The Real Roxanne, this was probably the best "Roxanne" record. Along with the others mentioned, it was the only other "Roxanne" record that got any...

Released in The summer of 1986 on PKO records. This record is super rare, released on PKO, which is a label distributed by Easy Street. This was the first release on PKO, and probably their best. The Main Attraction is a female rap group, who first...

Released in the summer of 1986 on Schoolly D records. This much anticipated LP is one of the earliest Gangsta Rap releases, although Schoolly D really didn't set out to start any trends. He just had that style about him. I was kind of disappointed...

Released in the summer of 1987 on Citi Beat Records, pretty much right before "Do The James" dropped as well. This record is so dope and rare, I can't even tell you. Back in the day, I was in Music Factory in Manhatten buying records and I ran into a...

Released in the spring of 1985 on Sugarhill records. My favorite Treacherous Three record, this record almost didn't happen. The crew recorded "Gotta Rock" (which mimick's "Rocket In The Pocket"), then shortly after had a fallout, which lead to their...

Released in The Spring of 1986 on 4-sight records. I'm gonna be straight up here. This was the ONLY florida or south rap record I had back in the days. All the stuff that came from there was straight up BUTT. This record was different. It got airplay...

Many have thought that the careers of Steady B and Cool C finished after the releases of their last solo albums in 1991 and 1990 respectively. However few remember the comeback attempt the two sought out in 1993. The C.E.B. project included the two...

The image of the west coast electro era was pretty much dominated by the sounds of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru, LA Dream Team, Unknown DJ, Egyptian Lover, and the likes. However avid record collectors and electro fans are quick to point out the many...

When nearly all the Roxanne-related answer records were originating from the east coast, "Roxy" stands out as one of the few (if only) Roxanne-reply records released in California. As the title suggest, the main artist (Roxy) plays the role of...

Arab blew two big shots that could have made him a superstar. The first, as well all know, is when Arabian left N.W.A. The second blow happened around 1991-92. He had just finished Brother Arab two years earlier (which actually
