Ladonna Schlender 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by Jumanji Well duh! Anybody & everybody who heard the song at the time knew it was from Good Times. That was the whole point of the song & pretty much the whole point of early Hip Hop. Grab two copies of a popular dance song, juggle the best part of it & start Rapping. I know that and I know everyone would know that It was the bit about Grandmaster Caz that was the more salient point that not everyone knew about, certainly at the time. I don't want to get into an Internet tussle about it, it's just your originally post suggested that people may have thought Xanadu & Sweet Lady may have passed it off as their own song rather than Sugar Hill's, when in fact neither of them were original in any way.
Lina Rawie 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by photojojo It was a the Rap #1 compilation with the full version of this on it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I56Kkxh_os I love that tune. I first heard it on Street Sounds Electro 2 back in 83. If you have a 12" of that with the original Jean-Michel Basquiat artwork it's worth a few quid. Well, more than a few! There's one for sale on Discogs now for

Jason Schmock 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by Karlos Santos MASSIVE album. I also love the myths and stories of the recording of this album. Things like they could swear they could hear interference caused by a nearby rail-line and re-recording and re-recording etc. My mate is a friend of Kevin Shields, he was the manager of Cornershop and he has some amazing MBV stories to tell. Seminal band, seminal album. I would love to hear those stories. I heard Kevin Shields had a nervous breakdown after the album and sandbagged his house at one point.
Ladonna Schlender 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by Jumanji Unless of course they were trying pass it off as their song, since Sugar Hill's Rapper's Delight also came out in 1979. Except, of course, that it wasn't The Sugar Hill Gang's song either They nicked the bass line and riffs from "Good Times" by Chic, were subsequently sued for it, and had to put Nile Rodgers on the track credited as co-writer. Worse still, all the lyrics sung by Big Bank Hank were given to him by his friend Grandmaster Caz, aka Casanova Fly (ever wonder why hank sang "I'm the C.A.S.A.N.O.V.A AND THE REST IS F.L.Y.?). Sadly, even though the record became huge, Hank never credited Caz and Caz never received a dime. Here's Caz's version/reply a while after it came out. He's still miffed about it to this day...

First time I heard it. Considering that it's rarer & probably one of the first female Hip hop groups, it's probably worth more.

Leeanna Ayla 16.11.2011	On the subject of old school rap I went to a friends house not to long ago that I hadn't seen in a while. My son was upstairs playing bass with his son and we went up there to hang out a bit. He was going through his records that his son had absconded into his room and pulled one out and said I believe this is yours.

Leeanna Ayla 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by DJSigma There's a few hip-hop albums that I really love and can't choose between (De La Soul's "3 Feet High & Rising" or P.E.'s "It Takes A Nation...." for example), but outside of hip-hop, probably this: - Found that in a thrift shop for $2 not to long ago.

Lin Danek 16.11.2011	Originally Posted by Jumanji Which I believe I heard on Casey Kasem's "American Top 40" Oh man - the MEMORIES. We had an independent radio station MANY years back that flew CK's show in, so we got it a few days after it flighted. I used hang on every word and note. Although I did believe the Americans had STRANGE ideas on what a 'Top 40' was
Lilliana Perris 15.11.2011	Psytrance = Twisted System - The Dealers Metal = Metallica - Black, AC\DC - Razors Edge, Motley Crue - Dr.Feelgood
Leeanna Ayla 15.11.2011	Originally Posted by Jumanji What's funny is even tough it never got any play on the radio, I always kind of preferred the Other Galactic Funk side over the Star Wars side. Which I believe I heard on Casey Kasem's "American Top 40", that there was no B side for the album. So they grabbed some street performers (drummers) from the subway & quickly threw together Other Galactic Funk. I'm going to go home and listen to it again at lunch.
