Wow i gotta say I've been really the impressed with the number of HIP HOP afficianado's (is that how you spell it?) in the Addiscombe Peleton. I can't beleive Ramelzee's name has made it on to a cycling forum...Here's some thoughts:

1) Don't you think the Coldcrush Brothers was the coolest name for a rap crew?.
2) How come by the time I finally started getting good at Body Popping everyone started Breaking?.
3) Did you ever carry around a rolled up peice of Lino?.
4) Wasn`t that Pac Jam electro tune a bit scary?.
5) What happened to all those liberated Volkswagen name badges?.
6) He was seriously wack, but you know you used to hum to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice baby.
7) How did Ice T get such a bootylicious wife.?
8) Has Method Man got Ashma?
9) What excuse would you have given if you broke your mum's Hifi record player - having just seen Grandmaster Flash live.
10) Does Tim Westwood still use more Hip Hop slang than the artist he's supposed to be interviewing? ( for real, for real, word word em up!!!).

in retrospect i agree about "it takes 2" - but the samples are fantastic: from "Think" by Lynn Collins with James Brown muttering in the background

An excellent book on the whole subject is "yes yes y'all" by Jim Fricke and Charlie Ahearn.

It's an oral history (from those who were there) of the first 10 years of Hip-Hop.

Well recommended.

Marco,

Man, you need to see Style Wars if you haven't already. Definitive Hip Hop documentary.

The other classic was "A Hip Hop history" narrated (rapped) by Gary Bird. Total class.

Hey Marco,

Wildstlye is a seminal peice of HIP HOP celluoid. Unquestionably the number one Hip Hop film ever made. THE REAL DEAL!!! Ok I must confess though it depends what your angle is 1; and 2, at what era - pre public enemy ('87) or post public enemy - you entered the HIP HOP scene. I first saw WILDSTYLE in 1985. Back then I had just started rapping and to see the likes of Ramelzee, Coldcrush, Double Trouble etc all in one film was truly inspirational. I remember a year after the film came out Westwood held a rap competition and a guy called Junior Gee won it. However what a lot of people didn't realise was that he had 'bitten' (stolen) his lyrics from Coldrush Brothers and Fantastic 5 emcees. A phenomenon that would now be known as Sugar hill Gate. Ask Grandmaster Caz from Coldcrush why he was so pissed off back then $$$$$$$$$$$

J.D., Mr Shalamar himself most definitely was the first popping/locking guy I ever saw. You gotta admit Marco, that sh1t used to look so cool!
