Various Artists– "Street Sounds-Electro 10" (Street Sounds – ELCST 10) 1985


Did I say Don't Mention The WAR!??
Is this record a warning from History, or did a Hip Hop Nostradamus write these dope lyrics?
"Star Raid" is an obvious reference to ballistic missiles passing through Space in a sub earth orbit raining down on Europe's civilian Infrastructure.....its all so clear to me now.
OMG! aka Oh.My.Allan, we're all gonna DIE.....AGAIN!?
Of course, Allan's radical Hip-Hop Cleric Brother from another mother ,has no father,has no Halo in a coat of many colours. The parthenagenecally created Divine D.J. Born Supreme Allah, is destined to be the Iranian lead monkey to actually press the GO! button that carries all that notorious,hiding, WMD-grade 60% pure Uranium sellotaped to the back of one of those imaginary long range missiles aimed at Diego Garcia, destroying 25% of the US Fleet in the process, and causing enough Fall-Out to bleach the Maldives clean of all foreign interference....for good!
After all,original prophecy-boy himself,D.J. Nostradamus, predicted a 7 month War in the Middle East.....can't see that happening can you?.....then comes the predictions greatest HIT,Rivers of Blood....pull the other one Nosher.....and then....Oh No!..a swarm of Bees....which is an obvious reference to the Drones.....no not the bandwagon jumping Punk group 'The Drones' from Manchester,UK, '77;...i'm talking weaponized Drones here, the ones that have been pummeling everyone east of the Mason-Dixon line, or Poland, since the start of the Ukraine war.
This is all a Proven FACT!......ask Donald Trump, He's known all this since way back before The Trump University started taking students money.
Well, it's gonna Kick Off innit.....OUCH! there goes my bone spurs again!
You better start Praying to his holiness the godlike'D.J. Born Supreme Allah' NOW!....or you will miss out on that coveted Martyrs death and, more importantly those 72 Virgins a martyr entering the kingdom of a christian free Heaven will receive. What happens to those innocent Lady-creatures I dread to imagine.....but Wait a minute!!!!?... aren't Virgins as shit in Bed as you are boys????
Come kindly nukes and rain down death and misery on the Oval Office.

Various Artists - "Street Sounds - Electro 9" ( ELCST 9) 1985

Like hunter gatherers these Crate Diggers scoured the used records section of junk stalls,and thrift stores looking for new breaks from the forgotten failures of the recent past.As if searching for fresh meat beneath the rotting vegetables of a throw away society.
Most junk vinyl has at least one nanosecond of interesting noise to repurpose. And back in the halcyon days before E-fucking-Bay ,sickeningly sussed 'vintage' vinyl peddlers, and fucking Discogs! All this stuff is no longer refreshingly cheap!? One Jazzy album,any Jazzy album,now goes for the price of a Roland TB303. 
Some of these sought after breaks often found themselves bought, or destroyed en masse by 'top' Rap acts and their management (the CIA) if only to stop their rivals getting to them first 
The 'Tech' gear of the early eighties is another accidentally timeless factor in the creation of this nu genre, whom some would suspect was the new Kontrol music created by the security services of the planet. Lets face it, all the Top Rap acts were and are got at by Ep-stain , filmed in flagrente-delicto with a 13 year old girl,which is highly illegal.....like Putin has on Trump, including the Pee-Pee party, where he was pissed on by a Putin supplied sex worker. This is what P-Diddy was doing too by the way.......its all proved...honest.
Well, this early generation of the Hip-Hop epoch, didn't rely on basing their childish rhymes on top of an obvious sample to carry the tune,they spent their spare time emptying the junk shops of rejected solid state Tech that White Guys didn't want, and made it work. The DMX, TR808,third hand Technics turntables and the aforementioned uber squelchy Roland Bassline. Simple but effective,and it made the Kids dance.......bloody Kids!!!

Tracklist:

1 Doug E. Fresh & Get the Fresh Crew– The Show
2 Bad Boys– Bad Boys Ft K-Love
3 D.St.– The Home Of Hip Hop
4 Kid Frost– Terminator
5 World Class Wreckin' Cru– World Class
6 Mantronix– Needle To The Groove
7 Fat Boys– The Fat Boys Are Back
8 Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three– The Roof Is On Fire

The Computer People Communicaters (CPC) – "Talking And Scratching (For The People)" -(Electric Land Records – EL 1007) 1983





DON'T MENTION THE WAR!.....I mentioned it about a thousand times but I think I got away with it!?)

Back in the good olde bad olde days ,like last week, America used to be a luminous toothed smiley bunch of friendly fun-lovin'liberal fans of freedom.Two Hundred and Fifty years of independence from the Motherland (Great Britain)later ,The failure to make America Great Again has bred a few million racially motivated Religious Nationalists,determined to empty their continent of anyone not wearing the national costume of Baseball Cap, plaid shirt,and fat over-hanging guts to hide the disintegrating waistline of their Jeans.
They used to make music just like "Talking and Scratching" back then, when brown people were welcome to fill any vacancy that was available on the Job market to lay the foundations of an Economy a nation could be built on. Instead of that,the USA are roundly hated worldwide.
This fine bastion of Democracy then proceeded to somehow elect the most inept, stoopid piece of shit that ever stalked the steps of the Capitol.....and thats saying something.
This FIFA peace medal winner and Rapist, then decided that a War backing up its equally genocidal  allies, the lovely Israel, would be a great Idea to solve all its problems.Especially when it comes to some million sheets of paper containing details implicating a certain President who literally shits his pants regularly,for real,in Human trafficking and child sex-abuse among other misdemeanors.
Along with its Rap-ist chums like P-Diddy,who sits in jail waiting for a friend to join him.....its coming soon.Even its own Supreme court has announced he has no immunity from prosecution whilst still in office. This guy is in Office!!!!?????
So if you wanna stay out of the new North American gulags,and listen to this fine early example of scratching...then follow the instructions below:
And lastly play these early Hip-Hop classics to remind oneself there was a time when people ❤ America. Now I have a Tea mug with USA=SHIT written on it.
...and don't forget....

DON'T MENTION THE EPSTEIN FILES.....I mentioned them once,but I think they could get away with it!....

...I Think I just heard ICE banging on my door demanding to check my internet history....i'll see you in prison,or Hell...which ever comes first.

Tracklist:


A  Talking And Scratching (For The People) (Vocal)4:38
B  Talking And Scratching (For The People) (Instrumental) 4:25

The Computer People Communicators – "Hey Party People (The Computer Funk Classic)" Electric Land Records 1982


 


The lifeless oceans of the pre-cambrian period, surrounding the one solitary super continent of Pangaea.Devoid of anything but insects,and simple plant-life, the seeds of something greater flew on the desert winds,which led to an early version of 'us'.Something even more basic than today and mamalian. Something that mis-evolved in to something quite terrifying, basic, and unevolved.....you know what this is,and I admit I promised to stop referring to it in these pages.....thats right.....The malodorous lesser spotted naked pernicious Trump-oid, which later split from an infected part of his orange ass and became a fully functional Baboon's ass.Which exists,and functions only too efficiently to this very day.Splattering its shite,poly-directionally left,right and Radical Left,and left again.
This very early Pangaeal Hip-Hop , by The Computer People Communicators,is a very early seed from a time before affordable drum machines, and germinated in the primordial ocean,spreading like a cancer in our souls, to form a modern Rap Cretaceous period where the reptiles started to take over, and sub-species like Jay Zee and Kanye West started to breed like Rappers.I hate to say anything is entirely  utter shite (well, I don't actually), but the preceding 30 years of this nonsense truly Is indeed utter shite.Somehow they survived the Asteroid Inpact in the Gulf of America (???), a lost part of Hip-Hop Pangea, populated by compulsively Lying Orang-utans, and misogynistic Rap-Dodo's,where during the mating season, have sub-intelligent large arsed females throwing themselves at their feet to receive the sacred seed for another generation of fools to be born and ignored.
We'll ignore Rap's Jurassic period,as ,unlike Steven Spielberg,we realised that most of the creatures who inhabit that CGI hell, 95% of them were infact from the preceding Cretaceous period.Therefore the movie version should have been called, more accurately, "Cretaceous Park",and not, Jurassic Park...those silly billies.
Anyway, this early computerized Funky seed, spread by someone called Gene "Poo Poo" Anderson (I'm not making this up!),is good stuff, but has an awful lot to answer for! Especially as a precursor to the fetid scent of the Poo-Poo that was to come.


Tracklist:


Hey Party People (The Computer Funk Classic) (Part 1) 8:45
Hey Party People (The Computer Funk Classic) (Part 2) 5:24

Just-Ice – "Back To The Old School"(Fresh Records – LPRE-1) 1986


Okay!I like the cover of this misogynistic Old School Gangsta shiesterwerk. ......that just about sums it all up. You know what its gonna sound like,and I'm straining at the leash to make any quips concerning the word "ICE". That being the American acronym  equivalent of Ernst Rhome's storm-trooper Brownshirts.
If you're watching this from the Future please don't make me explain,....we're actually living in this nightmare, do your facebook research, USA 2026.
However like Ernst Rhome,,the current bright orange object we call president Donald J. Trump, likes it up the arse apparently...according to his sister that is......but lying doesn't run in the family does it? (Uhum)
His child abuse years(fucked mercilessly by his dad),certainly brought out the rapist in him,and he definitively has the wit of a Rapist...this is because he IS a Rapist,..as proven in a court of law.
Please Future person,it may seem hilarious to you, but it ain't funny,I'll tell ya that!
Yup, an unstable malignant narcissist  controls the most powerful army in the world,and has his stumpy pink fingers drooling on the Nuclear button....which, if pressed,will result in the loss of any one here from the future before they were born!.....Yeah Who's laughing Now!?..huh?...in the meantime,pop back into the past and put a fiver on Leicester City to win the Premier League Title in 2016, at 5000/1 which was larger odds than the existence of the Loch Ness Monster!...i'll be around to collect tomorrow.

Tracklist:

1 Cold Gettin' Dumb 4:30

2 Love Story 4:52
3 Back To The Old School 4:48
4 Latoya 4:10
5 Gangster Of Hip Hop 5:06
6 Little Bad Johnny 3:28
7 Put The Record Back On 3:51
8 Turbo Charged 5:08

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 8"(Street Sounds – ELCST 8) 1985


Don't have much to say about this one, which includes slagging it off, so by elimination this must be a good one?......right?
It's,if anything, a bit Disco-Lite and his slaggo-lettes, with most of the tracks displaying a preposterous preponderance for old school Rapping, lashings of vocoder abuse,early sampler misuse,vinyll-ill treatment and DMX maltreatment with some inappropriate gated digital reverb.
It is certainly of its time,which is why we like it innit?

Tracklist:

A1 Sparky D Vs. The Playgirls– The Battle
A2 Davy DMX– The DMX Will Rock (Rap Mix)
A3 Aleem– Confusion
A4 D.E.F. & D.J. Three D – D.E.F. Momentum
B1 Marley Marl– Marley Marl Scratch
B2 The B Boys– Girls
B3 Papa Austin +The Great Peso– Wrong Girls To Play With (Dub)
B4 N.Y.C. Cutter– D.J. Cuttin

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 7" (Street Sounds – ELCST 7) 1985




















Post Elvis,1985 was once looked upon as the official worst year of music evah! Live Aid happened,and the possibilities of world corporate mass control of young peoples personal taste became very real.....meanwhile on the streets of the five boroughs no-one had heard of "We are the World" by the bloated morons of superstars immodest bleatings about saving poor African children like the Gods they thought they were.None of them thought about trying to save the poor american children from Never Land,and a glass or two of 'Jesus Juice'.
Wacko Jacko did,after all, receive the child-like lyrics channeled from God almighty himself, after a suggestion from his Holiness  Lionel Ritchie of course.Well, God can't be good at everything can he?
The Uk's charity single's words weren't much better....so "Tonight Thank God it's Them Instead Of You"...oozed Bozo...i mean Bono.You couldn't make that up!
Now, what the kids on the city street were actually doing,without interference from any Gods, Mortal or otherwise, was filling their empty lives and empty bellies dancing in dat new Breakdancin' stylee.To an abstract version of Kraftwerk and other European synth-pop acts,weaved in with all those Japanese electronic toys that no-one wanted.
No need for Gods, or Poop stars, who feel it worthy of themselves to save us all from ourselves.
"Its a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives!?".....it's all Me Me Me innit? The malignant narcissists of the poop charts; want us poor people to donate to other starving poor people while the brutal dictators of the targeted desert areas of famine, spend it all on new weapons to recruit those very same African children into the Peoples Army.All this goodness, while Lionel and Michael allow us to bathe in their magnanimous and Holy light.
 
Tracklist:

A1 Egyptian Lover - Girls (remix Long Version)
A2 The Unknown DJ– 808 Beats (Club Mix)
A3 Knights Of The Turntables– Fresh Mess (Jam ... Your Radio)

Various Artists– "Street Sounds Electro 6" (Street Sounds – ELCST 6) 1984

 

"The Roxanne Wars", as these call and response rap songs on side one are known as,featuring a 14 year old Female old school Rapper called....you guessed it "Roxanne".She took it on herself to challenge UTFO's hit tune "Roxanne, Roxanne".Of which there were over one hundred response Raps by Herself and various pseudonymous artists.Likely to avoid the authorities causing problems over Roxannes's tender age.Almost a concept albums worth of fem-rap featuring a teenage rapper trying her best to avoid sounding like a kid on Sesame Street doing a rap about the number 'Nine' and the letter 'A'......something I think would enjoy almost as much as her cutesy battles with UTFO.
This one's one of the better releases in the 'Electro' series.
The Rapping doesn't get on yer Titz, plenty vocoder, Human Beat Boxing ,Scratching, gated Reverb, and even some early Bleep-core deep in the mix.
"All the Freaks come out at night" says Whodini......except Roxanne who was too old anyway for Trump,to protect her from Geoffrey Epstein......if you're reading this years later, Epstein was a human trafficker who supplied young ladies for the Rich,Stupid and Powerful,which brought down the Trump administration when some formerly redacted files were found to have photographs of President Trump in Inflagrante delicto with several teenage girls...not Roxanne I'm pleased to say(I Hope anyway!),....and one young boy,who,who was clearly being sodomised by the Orange Monster himself.....cus that's what his Daddy ,Freddie, did to him when he was a little innocent Moron.....as alleged by Donald's Sister Mary Trump.......it's true of course. 

Tracklist:

1. UTFO–Roxanne, Roxanne
2.The Real Roxanne With UTFO–The Real Roxanne
3.Capt. Rock– Cosmic Blast
4.Roxanne Shanté– Roxanne's Revenge
5.Whodini– Freaks Come Out At Night
6.Egyptian Lover– My House (On The Nile)
7.Bobby Broom– Beat Freak
8.Dougé Fresh– Just Having Fun (Do The Beat Box)
9.Dougy Fresh– The Original Human Beat Box

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 5" (Street Sounds – ELCST 5)1984)

Unfortunately ,there's too much of that 'old Skool' rapping that sounds like a Caucasian office worker getting down with the groove at the office Christmas Party, not unlike David Brent doing some street dance for charity in The Office...original version. Fusing Flashdance with MC Hammer Shit yeah? (David Brents words not mine!)
But at least its quaint and not the kind of hate speech that passes for Rap during the last three decades.
There be a half decent Arthur Baker tchoon,that's fitting for a former New Order collaborator,it just lack's a Peter Hook.
We also got some proto-turntablism from the Knights of the Turntables for your Dad to shape some breaks to.
Some nonsense from Capt Rock's bordering on Novelty Track status,with more of that Office Party style Rapping again.
Ending with the best track on the whole disk, "B Boys Breakdance" by The High Fidelity Three.

Tracklist:

1.Great Peso & Mr. Nasty– It's Time To Rock
2.Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde– Fast Life
3.Knights Of The Turntables– Techno Scratch
4.The Egyptian Lover – Egypt Egypt
5.Arthur Baker– Breakers Revenge

Various Artists – Street Sounds Electro 4 (Street Sounds – ELCST 4) 1984


Oi! Careful who you calling a sucker you Cheeky Fuckers!
I'll piss on your fucking silly Trilby's 
Run-DMC had the,... not-so....,Bright idea of fusing Hip Hop with white Rock.
At the time (1983) I was blissfully innocent of Aerosmith's existence and the pure liquid evil of their frankly Fucking awful sub-Zep rip off of Led Zep.Who the fuck was that dick breaking through the wall on the set of the "Walk This Way" video. This Cunt was allegedly exceedingly famous on American FM (stands for Fuck me!) radio.Nestling, all cosey-like,in the sweaty armpits of Page and Plant.In between shagging under-age girls,and bumming a few easily impressed male American idiots.
I Humbly apologize to America that four English sex abusers were allowed to come over to your fine land and wreak such unforgivable havoc......er...well....on second thoughts, i'm not sorry at all actually.They can all go Fuck themselves,which they probably do.
Remember this is the land of Harvey Wankstain and Geoffrey Underpant Stain after all.Not forgetting Human Trafficker and honorary american idiotesse Jisslaine Max Swell.....most of whom were arrested for....wait for it....handling Swollen Goods;-)
So RUN-DMC are indeed the inspiration, if inspiration is the appropriate word for the downright blight on humanity for such unholy Hybrids as Funky Metal,Rap Metal,Limp Biscuit and the Bestiality Boys early years...Just think, no Fred Durst!..(sigh)...I hear no apology,or invoking of the fifth amendment right to silence on the grounds that Donald Trump may incriminate himself.. I wish someone had invoked the Right To Silence when Aerosmith came through that cardboard wall back in '86.
Apart from the unfortunate influence of RUN-DMC.....what are they doing on this comp anyway?.....we get three of yer DJ's standard stunts, three times,....yes the MEGAMIX! One of 'em done for us by none other than the godfather's cousin's best mate of Electro himself...Herbie Handoncock.
This one,Electro 4, sounds a tad more charty than the others in the series,but certainly still gets those toes-a-tapping.....if you're drunk enough.

Tracklist:

A1 Steps Ahead– Radio Active 6:45
A2 Pumpkin & The Profile All-Stars–Here Comes That Beat! 6:50
A3 Herbie Hancock– Megamix
DJ Mix [Megamix] – D.ST.
DJ Mix [Megamix] – D.ST. 6:18
B1 Run-DMC– Sucker M.C.'s 3:15
B2 Key-Matic– Breakin' In Space 6:16
B3 The VHB– Beethoven's Fifth (Street) Symphony 7:03
B4 Cybotron– Techno City 6:55

Various Artists - "Streetsounds Electro 3 (Street Sounds – ELCST 3) 1984

 


More from the Cambrian Oceans of Old Skool Hip Hop,from before they....the Rap-Singers ....regularly called out the Female of this species as "Ho's" and "Bitches".I'm almost done analyzing the role of the Internet in creating this phenomenon of the INCEL in modern day society.
If you didn't know already, INCEL, the acronym, stands for Involuntarily Celibate.These Icel's ,to say the least,don't hold the Sisters in very high regard,mainly for denying them as much sex as they can get,without so much as a 'Thank You young lady. They then blame the ladies for this, and I have a strong suspicion that 21st century Rap Singers are indeed involuntarily and ,yes,...celibate. The cause of this is the unnatural habitat of the Internet ,where these frustrated rappers congregate in facebook groups,and worship such dickweeds as Andrew Tate.They never had this problem in the Old Skool of Rap,they got all the voluntary sex they needed,and as a consequence lacked that modern need for violence, both passive, and  aggressive to prove their manhood through a general display of unbridled Misogyny. None of that shit in the Old Skool......well....not much anyway.....in fact lets just say there was Less of that back in the day.Also a less liberal use of the N-Word.
I suppose we could call this glaring difference between the two 'Rap' epochs, charmingly Innocent,or naive? 
I have little or zero interest in post 1990's Hip-Hop and Rap.Basically it had reached its very low bar for creativity by the mid-90's.Bores the Shit out of me.
Personally, I prefer the tracks that don't have a Rapper...careful how you spell that one. "You've seen 'em,on the top of the pops, the Rapers,you know,you've seen 'em about,down by the multi-story, round the back of the corn exchange?.....the Rapers?......No?"......the Rap Singers.

Tracklist:

1.DivineSounds–Dollar Bill 7:50
2.Imperial Brothers– We Come To Rock 5:03
3.Newcleus– Jam On It 6:57
4.Boogie Boys– Zodiac 6:06

Various Artists – "Street Sounds Electro 1" (Street Sounds – ELCST 1) 1983


There ain't nuffink more Do It Yerself than a bunch of black kids in the ghetto with a Boom Box, a turntable, an Oberhiem DMX, a mike for the MC plus some Herbie Hancock and Gary Numan records.
As vinyl was the recognised Electro media of choice,these same kids would have a record pressing plant in their living room,while us whites stuck to the humble cassette......you can't scratch a cassette.
Me being one of those white kids,and from England, who dug Punk Rock and Industrial musick, i never even knew this shit existed,even if Malcolm Maclaren did,somehow(?), make some electro hits in 1983.....I looked down my nose at it all as merely chart fodder innit? It was totally alien to me,especially as it involved ...er...Dancing(?),which was its raison d'etre.
But, one didn't need any instruments to make it? Rather like Old Skool Industrial didn't? Could all this be the afro-american version of Throbbing Gristle? If so why does this Electro stuff sound so fucking joyful, yet the stuff I listened to was so miserable? Are whites really so disconsolate and whinging?..well..yes they,forward slash, we, are??..Hell kick my honky Ass we are,Sheeeeet mother lickers. As a previous Girl Friend suggested that I have No Joy,I'm beginning to think she may have been right?
In the post House era, I began to frequently notice records like this popping up in charity shops,as all the kids were luved-Up on those incredibly dull House style four to the floor beats. The first one i shelled  out 50p for was Electro 2, but it makes sense to start at the beginning does it not?
Lots of Scratching,lashings of Vocoder, under pinned by Akai samplers,and a Roland TR808. What more could you desire tech-wise?
Ah yeah,i should have warned you....there's some very shit Rapping on a few of these tracks,otherwise,instrumentally, its smoking HOT

Tracklist:

A1 The Packman– I'm The Packman (Eat Everything I Can) 6:35
A2 Newcleus– Jam On Revenge (The Wikki-Wikki Song) 7:49
