Free Music Review: Old School Harlem River Rap
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the best rap collection for people, who are interestedin the true roots of this genre of music. I have spent the last ten years trying to replace all my old 12" records that disappeared at a party one night. I started playing this CD and it brought back so many memories of my youth in Harlem NY. Rap started in the Bronx and Harlem in the late 70's and many of the founding fathers are on this CD. You can equate this CD to a collection of Delta Blues records from the 30's. If you really want to understand the music and the culture from which the music arose this is the CD. I would recommend this CD for many reasons, but the best is for the sheer enjoyment of hearing Spoonie Gee and the Treacherous Three (with a teenage Kool Moe Dee)in their prime. They rap about women, money and rocking the body at a party. These are the ultimate block party records from 1979 thru 1981. The music is stripped down with low production values and quite raw. This is the way rap used to be before videos and Lil Kim. Most people around the country never got a chance to hear these pioneers of the music because they got virtually no radio air play. Even in their hometown of New York City they got no air play until a DJ named Mr. Magic got a radio program on unknown station that could only be heard from 2am to 4am on Sundays, Thursdays and Saturdays. If you were in High School you would stay up late with your tape recorder to get the latest music for school the next day. The guys on this CD were the ones that were on this show. These artists used to perform their songs at legendary places like Disco Fever, The Audubon Ballroom, T-Connection and PAL on 122nd Street. They would get on the mike and battle til 4 and 5 am. Masterdon and the Death Committee bring back fond memories because they live across the street from me... During the summer months they would bring out their equipment and put on free block party shows. Their best stuff unfortunately was never recorded on vinyl, but I am sure there are people with their audio tapes that used to sell on the street for $3. Without question the greatest and most influential solo rapper is Spoonie Gee. Get this CD just to hear him talk tales of female seduction. This is when you had to have a "Love Rap" to get play with the young ladies. This CD also should put to rest that Rap Music is rooted in violence. It is instead rooted in good times, dancing and shooting the jive. This songs are to me what the Motown sound or the Beatles are to Baby Boomers. Too bad these guys didn't get paid like the current rappers.
