Basketball by Kurtis Blow

The current CD in my car is Kurtis Blow's greatest hits and it is indeed great. The whole sound and the lyrics hark back to an earlier time (circa 1982) when things weren't so complicated. he refers to old b-ball superstars who are long retired, dead or otherwise incapacitated. His rapping style is so simple, yet it was crazy and new way back when. Interesting thing to ponder.
I still dig hip hop bands that actually bother to use instruments. See next post
