This review is from: Kurtis Blow Presents The History Of Rap: Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

This CD is a classic on my records. Everytime I listen to this CD I think back when it had just came out, EVERYONE wanted to know the words, they would play it over, and over again. A real "time warp"!

This compilation is one of the best ever made! KB compiled the best of the best, and made sure to give you the full, 12" versions (except for "JAZZY SENSATION"). The sound quality is incredible! These jams never sounded better! Nothing less than pure, classic Hip-Hop material!!

This review is from: Kurtis Blow Presents The History Of Rap: Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Part 2 of an excellent overview of the origins and history of rap music. This volume has the earliest true rap hits, including 2 classics by Kurtis Blow himself and some tracks that have been unjustly forgotten. Great sound and terrific "insider" liner notes by Blow that put these tracks in their historical context.
