Some magical times. I used to wonder back in the day if I would still be listening to real hip hop when I got older...Well, I'm older and I'm still listening to the real!
You show a picture of the album sleeve, yet the line-up is only 2 of them, no Simon there, who you show several times in the clip. This info is crucial for anyone hearing CT for the first time because between HOH and Treasure the difference in sound is tremendous.
This jam brings memories of me living in NYC early 80’s hip hop culture and the Boogie down Bronx the birth place of Rap. The graffiti on El trains and memories of Webo pant, belt and dance at the Fun House, Gotham West and Broadway 96 open bar with Slow Gun fist , White Russian etc,
"Cool John Ski from the Freeze Force Crew, I came here to say a def rhyme for you." When I hear that, I'm thrown back in time to when I was a kid with a backpack full of spraycans. Probably my all-time favorite hip hop track.
Proof that 1983 music is best, regardless of what type of music you like to listen to. If you want ordinary pop music, 1983 is the best year as well, with songs like Sweet Dreams, Every Breath You Take, Let's Dance, etc. Or you can listen to this album from the Cocteau Twins.
