Buffalo Gals and He's lookin' like a Hobo are definite Hall of Famers as well as Hey DJ (won't you play that song) are by themselves worth the cost of the overall cd but there's too many cuts here that are pretty boring both musically and lyrically.

Worth the purchase price but only for a few CLASSIC cuts.

You either hate or love Mr. McLaren, but this CD will convert many of the "on the fence" folks! Rarely does one come across an artist who appreciates an art that is way ahead of it's time. Hey, Malcolm practically made rap mainstream! There are many smooth grooves and many shake your ass tunes on this CD. The World's Famous was made by Malcolm...as were Bow Wow Wow, The Sex Pistols...and he actually gave Boy George his first big break. This guy knows trends years before they are realized by most of the world. A true mark of genius. This CD is a piece of history. You must get it!

First off, i had a few of malcolm mclaren's classic joints on tape, and 12" for years....and i've been meaning to get my hands on this, on a cd format. This,if no body knows about the raw start of hip- hop into main stream music is the TRUTH..!! Gotta love the live on-air shout outs with YES..( RAKIM ) at a young age calling in a shout out, thats some classic material. This is a must have for any one wanting to add a soild piece of coming of age hip-hop classic material, to ther're collection. And oh yeah...the ordering and shippment time was crazy tight....no problems here, everything was in order, gotta say that amazon has alot of hard to find music. BIGG - UP 2 reggierecords, thanks 4 the cd..!!!!

Prepare to spend an hour listening to what I think are the worst aspects of hip hop: recycled drivel, gratuitous self-promotion, and simplistic, formulaic verbalization as the Buffalo Gals go back to some of the most tired banter ever pressed to disc. Taken from the breakthrough World Famous Supreme Team radio show that broadcasted from New York/Brooklyn in the mid-80s, this album manages to include only a few tracks of good listening, like "Hey DJ (12" Cut)", and plenty of deadwood, like a version of "World's Famous" seriously diluted by an endless recital of thank yous. A better harvest of McClaren's fruitful collaboration with East Cost hip hop can be found on his wonderful 1990 release, "World Famous Supreme Team Show".

She's a Buffalo gal... Outrageous! You MUST pick up this DEFINITIVE collection of the World Famous Supreme Team, brought together by the man who managed the Sex Pistols, of all things!! This is NOT to be slept on, and it is NOT simply a nostalgia piece! This has BRAND NEW remixes as well as the ORIGINAL versions!!!

Back To Skool gives you the verbal history of hip hop and the World Famous Supreme Team as told by the ingenious Malcom Mclaren who witnessed its beginning stages back in the early 80's. This cd is a collage of old and new material that will dazzle the ear with raw beats, historical data, and off the wall rhymes. You get all of the now classic material and all of the WHBI interludes that originally appeared on Duck Rock. You also get to hear the future of hip hop with emcees like: T'kalla, Da Boogie Man, Soulson,and Hannibal Lechter. This cd serves as a land mark of hip hop in its cross roads. For those younger cats who want to learn about hip hop,this is for you. For those cats, like me, who lived the WHBI experience, or who understand hip hop culture, this album is for you.

This CD features old school artist like KRS1, Rakim, and De La Soul in addition to some very talented newcomers such as Soulson. Soulson's "Buffalo Gals (back to skool part 2)" runs neck and neck with KRS1's "Let It Flow" track as being the slaminist cut on the Album. Get this CD!!!
