Personally, I think RAP went down hill with the second NWA album, but love the first. I think the ‘gangsta’ stuff sent it on it’s own way that’s got little to do with soul or owt else, and the stuff it sampled –Rappers Delite, ‘good times’ and all that. Just gonna dig out my Boo Ya Tribe albums!
PS Anyone got a 12” of 3 x Dope ‘ Funk dividends’ for sale, Arista 1998?
