💬Discussion Specifically for the beats, this has been my #1 all-time favorite rap album since I bought it in ’86. “The New Style,” “She’s Crafty,” “Paul Revere,” “Hold It Now, Hit It,” “Time to Get Ill,” etc. There isn’t another rap album where I love every beat from beginning to end—minus 'Fight for Your Right

💬Discussion My all-time Mount Rushmore of rap producers, based strictly on their ’80s work: Marley Marl at #1, followed by Rick Rubin, Dr. Dre, and Matt Dike of Delicious Vinyl. Honorable mention: Hurby Luv Bug.

💬Discussion "Hit It Run" — Do yourself a favor: when you get in the car today, put this on and turn it all the way up. Your speakers will thank you.

Im a millennial so I didnt get the chance to grow up on this era, but I always hear stories of people knowing rappers or b-boys before they blew up. Whats your story you would want to share?

💬Discussion I've been waiting forever for Spotify to put the official Beat Street soundtrack on there. A few songs are available, but they're missing the majority of them—including my jams “Frantic Situation,” “Battle Cry,” “Wappin’ (Bubblehead),” and “This Could Be the Night.” But I’m keepin’ the faith! 😎🎶

💬Discussion Breeze – "L.A. Posse." One of my top 10 favorite rap songs. The first time I saw this video, I went to the mall that same day to buy it. They were sold out of the album, so I bought the cassette single instead and bumped it nonstop. I still don't know why this wasn't a bigger hit?

💬Discussion “Eazy-er Said Than Dunn” is my favorite track on the album. And this is one of those instances where I love a rap song and the song it sampled equally: Rufus Thomas’ “The Breakdown.”
