SPANISH FLY & THE TERRIBLE TWO - 'SPANGLISH" (Early Bilingual Spanish-English Hip Hop)

Now we all tend to talk about "DISCO DREAMS" MEAN MACHINE" As the very first Bilingual Hip Hop rap record and it probably is, but no one ever mentions SPANISH FLY & THE TERRIBLE TWO" This two included some trade off between Spanish and English lyrics, There were three MC's and one was a girl, Probably Spanish fly. I Have to talk  to my pioneer friends more about the info around this record and its artists. But this song no doubt made the Bilingual party people in the place at NYC Hip Hop underground parties very happy, and they were doing their thing on the rap tip, this is not a novelty record (at least in my opinion) it was actually played by some of Hip Hops very early DJ's as a party sure-shot. Its popularity?? I don't know, I'm guessing it was/is not a well known record outside of NYC. But non he less a classic jointskee, Listen to it and peep the early Latin Flava infused in Black American Music Like Hip Hop..

Sidenote: Oh and released On Enjoy records, music direction with Bobby Robinson, and PUMPKIN Hip Hops foremost celebrated Drummer and music arranger for Enjoy, Profile, Sugar-hill records.
