SUGAR DADDY "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" (Disco Rap Rare Classic)

And since I am on this quick kick of "interpolations" this is SUGAR DADDY, with his version of the classic rock song "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" Done up in Hip Hop fashion, dropped in 1980, beat is a little different, but you know it when you hear it. I really dig the Disco Rap era from 1979-81 maybe early 82. This one on ONE WAY RECORDS.

MC SWEET - JESUS CHRIST (Disco Rap Gospel Record) 1980

I am going to swerve to the right with this one, a very very obscure, hard to find, little known gem. MC Sweet, with JESUS CHRIST, Early Gospel rap record for sure, and this man is preaching the truth. I thought this was real unique, its got the classic Disco Rap feel to it and spreads the word of God in rapping poetic fashion.





A picture of the artist with the whole Adam & Eve theme going. I heard this record was later remixed and released as "The Gospel Beat"

TRICKERATION - 'BOUNCE, RAP ROLLERSKATE" Rare Disco Rap Sure shot!! (Sounds Of NYC)

I feel like being real generous this week, so I hopped on my laptop this am, while across seas,and said "let me see what I can give away" this has always been one of my early Hip Hop fav's. TRICKERATION, is an early hip hop group and their interpretation for VAUGHN MASON'S' - BOUNCE ROCK SKATE, Ended up being this, Real catchy dope joint. You have to remember in the very early days of rap music from 1979-around 82 there were no use of sampling and drum machines yet so the early producers and labels had in house bands to "interpolate" music in other words cover or borrow from tunes that were popular and put a Hip Hop twist on, not to say no one was creating their own original accompaniment. In the early days we had Sylvia Robinson, Joey Robinson, Pumpkin and a few others. what is a Producer? it isn't just someone who makes beats, its also the person who puts up the money behind the studio sessions, the song writers, the engineers, and band/session musicians. This record was produced under "SOUNDS OF NYC" one of the very early Disco labels putting out Hip Hop records around 1979, 80, 81 The House Band I Do Not know!!

KID NICE - "I WANT YOU TO LIKE IT" Rare 12 / KEEP DREAMING (Remix) 1984/1983

Hey friends, I know its been quite a while since my last entry, I really ought to get the hang of staying up on this blog thing, but with so much travel, teaching Breakin' classes and DJ'ing it gets a little rough sometimes. I just got back home from ROME ITALY This past week, and I'm off to France Nov 7th-13th and then Barbados in Dec I think the 6th to the 11th... Ok First and foremost, I want to thank all of you who continue to download the tracks that I share on OLDSCHOOLARCHIVES, and also those who write in and ask for specific music and even your much valued props.

Ok lets get right to it.. KID NICE "I WANT YOU TO LIKE IT" Is a nice gem from 1984, Kid nice both an MC and DJ, Put this one out for the Bboys and Hip Hop party goers of the 80s. What I've included in this entry is the main VOCAL 12" as well as the VOCODER VERSION of the song, which is pretty much the same, they just sprinkled in a few more electronic voices. I tried to find the very best quality version I could, as I do not own this on vinyl and its a tough song to come across if you do not have it on wax already. So for all those who remember or know this record, maybe know KID NICE In general, wherever he may be in life today, God bless him..

Sidenote: I first heard this on an oldschool Hip Hop mixtape from 84' that I have and have actually shared in a much earlier post, it was mixed with a bunch of dope Bboy records, including CD3 - GET TOUGH, DIMPLES D - I WILL SURVIVE, MASTER O.C. & CRAZY EDDIE - MASTERS OF THE SCRATCH, RUSSELL BROTHERS - PARTY SCENE, ZULU GROOVE - SHANGO. A real deal mixtape, and I've preserved it all these years. For 25 plus years to be exact. Just find my post below titled, OLDSCHOOL MIXTAPE CASSETTES or another and find those mixes its a 90 min joint I believer... Enjoy





VOCODER Version!!

VISAGE - PLEASURE BOYS (BONUS BEATS)'

80'S New Wave Bangers (Some rare goodies)

Whats up everybody, I know it has been quite some time since I have put out anything new on Old school Archives. A year in fact from my last. In this edition I just want to highlight a very dope time in the 1980's a music genre that helped define electronic, Rock synth pop music as we know it, "NEW WAVE". New wave was a genre of music that has its root in the punk rock era of sound from the mid to late 1970's and it is also a precurser to alternative, post punk or modern day rock. So in essence, new wave is sort of a post-punk, pre-alternative rock genre that was big until about the late 80's, its sound is  a mixture of Rock with electronic synth, the vocals were edgy and unlike the traditional rock sounds, it employed a lot of drum machines, synth sounds and so forth. I am not very knowledgeable about NEW WAVE except for the fact that some of the songs did ping pong off of the Hip Hop sounds of the early 80s, some of the earliest New Wave artists can be attributed to Kraftwerk, Duran Duran, Devo, Yazoo, New Order, Art of Noise, so DJ's and music fiends please dig in. As always. I may be committing the DJ no no which says "DO NOT SHARE YOUR HARD TO FIND RARITIES, NOR GIVE UP TITLES" Oh well I am that DJ that will bless you. THESE RECORDS ARE FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. I combed the net looking for some of the best quality versions of songs I could find. I have also included some bonuses to hit you in the head with. In this edition you will find records by Yazoo, Duran Duran, Devo, Simple Minds, Freez, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, and more... Enjoy
