It’s no exaggeration to say that the group changed the course of music in the ‘80s, bringing the old-school of rap into the new with one simple piece of flat, black plastic. Coming up in the rap world of the early 1980s under the wing of Kurtis Blow (group manager Russell Simmons managed Blow, and Run was, at one time, a DJ known as Son of Kurtis Blow) and Blow’s bassist and burgeoning super-producer Larry Smith, the trio – Joseph 'Run' Simmons, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels and Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell – learned from the best, but created their own path. 1983 was the year that they first broke out. With only an Oberheim DMX drum program and some cuts by Jay, “Sucker M.C.s (Krush-Groove 1)” was a shot across the bow to the slick, post-disco pocket rap had settled into. It was raw, pure swagger and it took both New Yorkers and music aficionados around the world by storm. The group’s sound, which was laid out muscularly on \u003ci\u003eRun-DMC,\u003c\/i\u003e had a harder approach than their peers, thanks to producer Larry Smith’s use of live musicians who laid down grooves but didn’t soften the edges. Lyrically the group wasn’t just about brags either, with songs like \u003ci\u003eHard Times, It’s Like That\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWake Up\u003c\/i\u003e (the first two were singles). Run’s and DMC’s overlapping tag-team approach to lyricism was powerful and immensely influential. \u003ci\u003eRock Box,\u003c\/i\u003e another single and arguably the centerpiece of the album, was a nod to their hard edge, and a foreshadowing of their first worldwide smash, 1985’s \u003ci\u003eKing Of Rock\u003c\/i\u003e. Jam Master Jay’s DJ work was stellar, knowing exactly when to jump in and put listeners’ ears in a headlock. The album was the first rap full-length to achieve Gold status, and as fans know, the group was just getting started – their next two LPs would take them to even higher status in the music world, critically and sales-wise. But this is where it all started, and it’s a classic that still sounds fresh today as it did more than 30 years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get On Down","offers":[{"title":"Clear | LP","offer_id":50390903390539,"sku":"1004335","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50390904209739,"sku":"2003320","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50390905127243,"sku":"2169385","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50390905848139,"sku":"2192696","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Run_DMC_Run_DMC_e45e8f25_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726395912"},{"product_id":"raising-hell-7","title":"Raising Hell","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRun-DMC’s third album, \u003cem\u003eRaising Hell\u003c\/em\u003e (1986), marked a shift from their earlier phase of building and breaking down doors.

Produced entirely by Dr. Dre and out of print on vinyl in the U.S. for several years, this limited edition colored LP features original album artwork and thirteen tracks of rap heaven. When his debut album hit in mid-1989, The D.O.C. was in the vortex of the biggest hip-hop happening on the planet: the rise and rule of N.W.A. The group’s breakout album Straight Outta Compton had hit one year prior and had created both controversy and worldwide critical acclaim. As rap history buffs and industry insiders know, The D.O.C. was a crucial behind-the-scenes member of the N.W.A. inner circle - his most important role in the early days of the group was writing many of Eazy-E's rhymes, including his hit 1988 single “We Want Eazy.” He would go on to write for Efli4zaggin, The Chronic and Doggystyle. But The D.O.C. wasn’t in N.W.A. and never wanted to be - he was his own man, with his own vision. And after Compton proceeded to blow up the next crew album was No One Can Do It Better. Significantly, it was the first album where Dr. Dre showed his greatness as a solo producer for one MC. Boasting four singles - “The D.O.C. \u0026amp; The Doctor,” “Mind Blowin’,” the smash “It's Funky Enough” and “The Formula” - the album is flawless from beginning to end. Of particular note beyond the singles is “The Grand Finale,” which was the last time that Ice Cube, M.C. Ren and Eazy-E would rhyme on a track together. The D.O.C. showed on this amazing record that he was one of hip-hops most talented MCs. He nearly died in a horrific car crash as the album was catching fire in the late summer of 1989 which damaged his vocal cords, but he survived and continues to make new music and act as a sounding board for Dr. Dre to this day. More recently a documentary covering D.O.C.'s life titled The DOC debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival with fans eagerly awaiting a wider release.

By 1985, any doubters were running on fumes, as the group’s \u003ci\u003eKing Of Rock\u003c\/i\u003e blew the aforementioned pop doors off their hinges.

The album’s most fondly-remembered single set the album’s tone perfectly: \u003ci\u003eKing Of Rock\u003c\/i\u003e was hard, full of charisma and tag-team vocal finesse, and had enough guitars to bring the suburbs into the rap fold.

When the two sat down to work together, Rasheed says that they only knew that they “wanted to address the now, the past, and the potential future.” And upon receiving the first batch of beats from Buck the D.I.T.C. producer with decades of acclaimed work to his name the NY emcee used a majority of them and knew immediately what they were doing. “My goal was simple: don’t try to recreate anything they have done, just create something that no one else can do, which is to be me,” Rasheed says. Buck echoed that sentiment when he talked about the record in a documentary, in which he expressed his excitement to work with not just a talented rapper, but a skilled artist. “Being an artist is just as important as putting two words together to rhyme,” Buck explained. That high level of artistry, from everyone involved, is what makes \u003ci\u003eSinners and Saints \u003c\/i\u003eso impactful.

These are some of neo-soul's great successes, but a slew of underground acts were what set the initial blueprint for their more pop-friendly acquaintances to follow. Acts such as R\u0026amp;B duo Groove Theory. The New York pair, consisting of singer \/ songwriter Amel Larrieux, and producer Bryce Wilson, (A veteran of the legendary 80s electronic group Mantronix) helped set the tone for neo-soul via their lone studio release, the self-titled Groove Theory. The nearly hour-long record features 14 tracks of Wilson's smooth soul arrangements and atmospherics merged with golden era boom- bap beats, and Larrieux's siren-quality vocals, inspired equally by a combination of Native Tongues, peak Marvin Gaye, Joan Armatrading, Soul II Soul, as well as elements of breakbeat, jazz fusion, and even trip hop. It's a definitive, but often overlooked classic of the 1990s, which helped expand contemporary R\u0026amp;B's sound, render Billboard hits out the tracks\u003ci\u003e Tell Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKeep Tryin'\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Baby Luv,\u003c\/i\u003e and even found the time for a Todd Rundgren cover.

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of UGK’s first album, Get On Down goes the extra mile, presenting it for the first time ever on vinyl. AND 2LP clear vinyl at that, giving the strutting, funky grooves the chance to really stretch out on your system. Back in 1992, Southern hip-hop was still proving to the world that it could sustain a fan base that was chiefly raised on rap from New York and LA. The Geto Boys and 2 Live Crew had made strong cases by the earliest ‘90s, and Pimp C and Bun B were ready to make their own. Most of the trunk-bumping bass comes from drum programs and basic sampling on these tunes – in later years they would build their sound into something even fuller and deeper. Self-produced with additional work from Houston locals Bernie Bismark and Shetoro Henderson, the tracks here are minimal, slow and menacing, which matched their lyrical approach quite nicely. You can hear the beginnings of the group’s true greatness in these early lyrical workouts – several taken from the regional cassette-only EP The Southern Way that got them signed to Jive – with tales of street hustles, relationships and self-reliance in a world stacked against them. They may have been done early-on, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t crucial to UGK’s legacy – cases in point being the three singles: \u003ci\u003eSomething Good\u003c\/i\u003e; a charismatic update to Bill Withers’ \u003ci\u003eUse Me Up\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003ePocket Full Of Stones\u003c\/i\u003e (the latter featured on the Menace II Society soundtrack).

But as great as those two powerhouse singers were, Lyn Collins was the strongest hit maker of that funky JB era. Her strong voice and commanding stage presence - which earned her the nicknames 'The Female Preacher' and 'Mama Feelgood' - quickly proved to be a potent addition to the People Records universe. In the spring of 1972 her second single, the driving and ridiculously funky 'Think (About It),' hit the R\u0026amp;B music world like a ton of bricks. As fans young and old know, thanks to its timeless, relentless groove and powerful vocals, 'Think' gained a powerful second life in the 1980s thanks to the hip-hop generation, fueling the platinum smash 'It Takes Two,' by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock in 1988 and additionally sampled by dozens of hip-hop and dance music artists up to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Collins was far from a one hit wonder: she was as vocally adept on ballads as she was with full-blown funk.

To wit, aside from the title smash: a powerful and emotional cover of Bill Withers' 'Ain't No Sunshine,' the socially progressive 'Women's Lib,' the Gamble and Huff-penned 'Never Gonna Give You Up' (originally done by Jerry Butler), and even a daring, muscular take on the song 'Fly Me to the Moon,' made famous by, among others, Frank Sinatra.

As music fans know, James Brown wasn’t just the greatest funk and soul singer the world has ever seen – he was also a musical visionary and businessman, who surrounded himself with geniuses who made him better and pushed him further. From horn masters Maceo Parker and Pee Wee Ellis to vocalists Lyn Collins and Bobby Byrd, Brown was a musical A \u0026amp; R master, restless and always looking for the next big thing. Most times, that would manifest in the latest James Brown smash under his own name. But not always. His stable of talent was overflowing in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and, thankfully, the tape machine in his studio was always rolling. Originally released in 1988, during the era of hip-hop’s golden age of sampling, it’s no surprise that just about every note heard in this incredible collection has been used on not one but multiple rap classics. Which, at the time, was proof of Brown’s (and his crew’s) staying power. But we’re almost three decades beyond those days now, and it has lost none of its musical potency. Diving deeper into the vaults than the also-incredible Part 1 of the Funky People series, there is not a weak track in the bunch. Moving beyond well-known JBs cuts, things get interesting from the get-go with Bobby Byrd’s monumental groover “I Know You Got Soul.” Hank Ballard and Marva Whitney also enter the fray, leading the way to Myra Barnes’ emotional and powerful “Message From The Soul Sisters (Parts 1 \u0026amp; 2)” and Lyn Collins’ slow, smoldering cover of Isaac Hayes’ “Do Your Thing,” Politics even get the funky soul treatment, with Fred Wesley \u0026amp; The JBs’ “You Can Have Watergate But Gimme Some Bucks And I’ll Be Straight” and “I’m Paying Taxes, But What Am I Buying?” And it should not be overlooked that Maceo \u0026amp; The Macks’ instrumental workout “Soul Power ‘74” even features a proto-sampling snippet from MLK’s “I’ve Been To The Mountaintop” speech from 1968. This is another amazing collection of 12 James Brown’s funky friends, without one second of filler, brought to you as a glorious 2-LP gatefold by your friends at Get On Down.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get On Down","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50449557258571,"sku":"2223789","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"james-browns-funky-people-pt1","title":"James Brown's Funky People Pt.1","description":"\u003cp\u003eReissued for the first time in 3 years.
