HipHop & Rap 12s 1987 - Beyond Towards the end of 1986 going into 1987, rap music went full circle on itself and ditched the favoured DMX drum machine going back to its roots of old drum breaks. With the advent of sampling, sections of old b-boy classic funk were reinvented in a more downtempo format and new sources of "breaks" were being discovered that had once been too-slow to do your footwork to. Legends like Marley Marl & Ced G as well as underground heroes like Tony D and Paul C were crafting amazing studio works, making beats on the back of old records by James Brown, Sly Stone and way beyond. These became the back-bone for dancers to do the "Whop" to, and provided the instrumentals for a whole new breed of MC's spearheaded by innovators like Rakim Allah and KRS1 who were making the biggest advancements in lyrical content since Run DMC and T-La Rock had come out. Sampling clearance at this time was not an issue, allowing for one of the most funky periods of rap music since it's innovation. On the back of successful independent labels like Cold Chillin', B-Boy, Plateauu and Tuff City, many other smaller labels emerged in New York and beyond throughout the late 80s and into the very early 90s, often funded or as a front for the exploding crack business at the time. This led to a crazy amount of different records being made in a small period of time, where as little as 250 copies could be pressed as a bulk run, every rapper hoping to be recognised as the next Big Daddy Kane or Kool G Rap. These records were often so scarce that they are still being unearthed today with some truly amazing diamonds in the rough that are quite appropriate for today's clubs, especially considering the current move by modern producers towards that sample heavy 1988 "Golden era" sound. Often a rap record on an independent label from a New York borough would be heard only on the DJ Red Alert or Mr Magic radio shows at the time, and never even made it downtown to the main Manhattan record stores. Now, 15 years later, whether you are just discovering the unique sound of this era, searching for that illusive "classic" track, or trying to find some unearthed unknown dope jams, I'm sure that you'll find something for you at DJ Friendly Records.
