"Can You Feel It?" is the jam of all jams. Notice I say -is- instead of
-was- because it still rocks: the beat, the rhymes, that pioneering rap-r&B
flavor, but what do you expect? In addition to the Disco 3, aka the Phat
Boys, we had Mr. Kurtis Blow doin' the production on that song...

But yeah, now its like unacceptable to have least bit of fun in rap-

80s rap kills anything out today. the only exception that stands out to
me is tribe called quest. everything else the same played out gangsta,
funked, looped beat bullshit.

one of the smoothest cuts, which i think could easily stand up to even
todays standards was three times dope with their cut funkey dividend
and the greatest man alive. i still searching for that albulm. and less
not forget about special eds youngest in charge albulm and the greatest
albulm of all time It Takes A Nation Of Million... by Public Enemy, and
its the greatest all around- not just in the rap genre.

"funky Dividend" was a smooth cut. Special Ed's "Youngest In Charge" is one
of my all-time favorite records! Lucy, I remember Lucy, with big fat juicy...
Let's not forget Dana Dane's "Cinderfella Dana Dane" or Slick Ricks' "the Great
Adventures Of Slick Rick".

For the time period (1987), it was pretty good for that genre of rap. Any lyric
from that record was 10X better than your weak-ass "Go back to Scarsdale before
I hit you with this garbage pail" Sesame Street line.

Someones gotta bring back that old style. I that Souls of Mischief and
Pharcyde kinda did it with their first albums. My favorite tape is still
D.J. Red Alert(We Can Do This]. BDP were the dopest ever and I hope
KRS-ONE does something new using beats from BDP.

Don't forget about Big Daddy Kane's first album.
