LeeBB Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Ummm... you could go back to some very early classics: The Message - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (1982) (check out the Kraftwerk influences) Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang (1979). Both wonderful. LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 also mentioned should be Run DMC (here with "It's Tricky") Beastie Boys (here with "So What'cha Want") and my personal favourite: De La Soul (Me, Myself and I) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 If you'd like to go way back in the day even earlier, here is The GodPop of Hip Hop Gil Scott-Heron No Knock (1971 ?) or this one by Parliament [smaller] pre- P Funk [/smaller] Chocolate City (1975) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Kurtis Blow was one of the first. Malcom McLaren produced some funny album with Keith Haring´s design on the cover... I just can´t remember the names. That was in the early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Clown Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 What about those classic Eric B & Rakim tracks - I Know You Got Soul and Paid In Full. They made some awesome records. Boogie sDown Productions had a whoel raft of great stuff - My Uzi Weighs A Ton for example. And though he's just a pop muppet these days LL Cool J made some great records in his early days - I Need A Beat and RADIO are both great records.
