"A true history of Rap".......2005-08-29

This compilation is one of the best ever made! KB compiled the best of the best, and made sure to give you the full, 12" versions (except for "JAZZY SENSATION"). The sound quality is incredible! These jams never sounded better! Nothing less than pure, classic Hip-Hop material!!

Part 2 of an excellent overview of the origins and history of rap music. This volume has the earliest true rap hits, including 2 classics by Kurtis Blow himself and some tracks that have been unjustly forgotten. Great sound and terrific "insider" liner notes by Blow that put these tracks in their historical context.

From the Innocent Age of Rap.......2001-06-30

If you were a teenager at the time, you'll love this. These fun, funky tunes will remind (or educate, if you weren't there) you of the days when kids eagerly listened to the radio to await the newest rap records (since they were rare at the time) and you could play these around your parents without shame. The Treacherous 3's "Feel The heartbeat," Jazzy 5's "Jazzy Sensation," Funky 4+1 More's "Rappin and Rocking the House" (unfortunately, this is not the complete 16 min version), "Funk You Up" and "Monster Jam" by the Sequence (featuring Angie Stone),etc. will all make you feel good to be alive-before NWA and those gangster idiots who followed destroyed rap music!

I have been a fan of curtis blow far many years. This is a must for the old school

Brings you back to a time where you want to go back.......1999-07-17

This CD is a classic on my records. Everytime I listen to this CD I think back when it had just came out, EVERYONE wanted to know the words, they would play it over, and over again. A real "time warp"!

"Classic Hip-Hop".......2005-08-27

When the "AWESOME TWO" (of 105.9 WHBI & WNWK in NYC) put this compilation together back in 1990, they selected nothing less than the best of what Hip-Hop had to offer of that good ol' beloved era, that we all miss and cherish. At the time ('90) there were no such compilations in existence of classic Hip-Hop. This one was the first, and through out the years, many followed their foot steps, and many classic rap tunes resurfaced, decades after their original release. But this compilation was a landmark compilation, for the fact that it was the first and remains one of the best and most complete to date! a must have for all classic Hip-Hop fans!
