... And I got more rock than Bon Jovi's band
just throwing another installment of 80s hip hop at ya.
currently listening to "Ugly People Be Quiet" as performed by Cash Money & Marvelous.
this tune is another jam. starts out with the opening piano line from Tears for Fear's "Head Over Heels" (though other websites claim it's a sample from Tears for Fear's "Shout" ... wrong Shout ...). from what i've gathered CM & M were a later day DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince (both groups hailing from Philly) just more underground/less commercial. DJ Cash Money holds it down with some really sharp cuts (he loves the slick rick samples to scratch on), but Marvelous isn't the hottest MC on the block ... not terrible by any means and better then most today, just not poppin' off like i'd like to hear. the copy i have of this track is off a compilation entitled "The Rap Pack II" , (the original is from CM & M's album "Where's the Party At?") a 1988 release on Fresh Records. --- On a side note, Fresh Records parent label Sleeping Bag Records put out more then hip hop and electro. i have an album on sleeping bag entitled "Reggae Dancehall Vol. 2". it's mostly digital riddims with 80s rub a dubbers on em (yellowman, tiger, admiral bailey, etc) but some of the cuts are real dope. oddly discogs.com has no mention of either vol. 1 or 2. hmmmmmmmmm ...
