Man, I've been looking EVERYWHERE for this CD. Dana Dane With Fame brings back some serious memories of growing up in the 80's. Soon as I get it, I'm grabbin a 40oz, pickin up some old school homies, and get transported back to the old school dayz... dig

Are you seriously asking over $200.00 for a CD? I hope this is a typing error. If not, Good luck selling that. the album only had two good songs on it.

Judging from the previous reviews, I guess I'm lucky to have this album on wax and on CD. Back in '87, I was buying records in pairs in case I damaged or lost one. I hardly gave it any spin because I was busy buying other joints too, so my second copy is unused and still in the shrink wrap. I'd reccomend browsing E-Bay for a copy. You should be able to find one there. I found a copy of Whodini's self titled debut there for about $8.00 brand new and that's even harder to find than this one. Good luck.

And now, the review:

Dana Dane's 1987 debut, Dana Dane With Fame, is one of those classic albums that has managed to fall between the cracks. People tend to forget all about Dana Dane when they talk about classic albums. It wasn't a groundbreaking LP when it was released, but there are so many classic joints on the album that it's virtually a must have LP. Anyone that was listening to this when it came out back in '87 will tell you the same.

There aren't any flaws that come to mind when I think about this joint. Of course, the beats are a little dated, but it came out 18 yeas ago, so that should be expected. Other than that, the album is fresh from start to finish.

Dana Dane With Fame is a classic joint. I'm not going to call it the best rap album ever like these other reviewers, but it's definitely a must have LP. It may not be the best rap album from 1987, but it's right up there with them.
