    Which one? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, etc?

    lol. ;)

    How many versions of that thing did he put out? I swear he had a hit and rode that thing into the ground and then some.

    MC Breed's "Ain't No Future in Yo Frontin'" was awesome, but is that really old school?

    Well that was his hit so I guess he rode it! LOL He had a song called Dynamic Duo that kicked ass but it never got airplay.

    Breed was around 90 I think. Maybe not old school but it sure as hell is different from that junk they play today!

    Clearly Walter once again has the advantage in this case. Be it old school, new school, or even new wave. The Wizard just harnesses pure musical power.

    :cool:

    One quick thing:

    It was "La Di Da Di" not "Loddy Doddy" (lol) and yes Slick Rick did the rapping but the song was actually billed "La Di Da Di" by Doug E. Fresh featuring Slick Rick.

    "Planet Rock" by Afrika Bambaataa is interesting because I have read that it was one of the first rap/hip-hop songs that sampled another artist (I don't think the Sugarhill Gang's use of "Good Times" was considered a proper sample for some reason) and that artists was one of my all-time favorites in Kraftwerk ("Planet Rock" sampled "Trans-Europe Express").

    Reading this thread has made me want to go out and buy some Afrika Bambaataa stuff plus 2 groups that heavily influenced rappers in Zapp and Parliament Funkadelic/George Clinton/Bootsy Collins.

    That's funny, I thought that went nationwide in 1978, but only stuck in the major east/west coast markets until the movies "Beat Street" and "Breakin'" hit nationwide and began a craze that saw Run-DMC's "Run-DMC" become the first true nationally accepted rap album go gold in weeks.

    But I could be wrong. Remember these?
    I Ain't No Joke - eric b. & Rakim
    Dear Yvette - L.L.
    Revelation - Two Live Crew (before Luke and the filth)
    Tougher Than Leather [Krush Groove 3] - Run-DMC
    The Fat Boys Are Back - by duh, the Fat Boys
    Skinny & Proud -The Skinny Boys

    Groups like:
    Just ICE & DMX (the DJ that had the name first in '86)
    Cash Money & Marvelous (the DJ that had the name first in '84)
    KRS One's wife - Ms. Melodie
    Kool Moe Dee - never as good as L.L., too choppy, no flow
    Nice & Smooth
    Gangstarr (later GURU went solo)
    K SOLO
    EPMD
    Heavy D. & the Boyz
    Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew
    MC Shan
    Roxanne Shante
    The Real Roxanne
    Rodney O. & Joe Cooley - west coast pioneers
    Too Short (started when he was 10 years old sellin' tapes outta his trunk... nasty too!)
    How about Kid Rock when he was on Luke Skywalker records singing "Yodel in the Valley???" Remember that???
    Gucci Crew
    Super Lover C & Casanova Rud
    Prince Johnny C (original kicked out Ghetto Boy)
    Reddy Red (same thing)
    Beastie Boys (punk band first on "polly wog stew" LP)
    man the list goes on and on.... I could do this for hours (I deejayed in Junior & High School - grad in '91)

    West coast really ruined the bubble gum feel of rap, so the term hip-hop had to be created by the east coast purists to clean things up on a nationwide level...

    Remember when anti-drugs and anti-violence campaigns were launched by the "Stop The Violence" movement headed by KRS ONE? The west scene waited a couple years before getting on the band wagon, only to have Dr. Dre flip flop and go all out chronic... talk about hypocrisy! One year he's saying "I don't smoke weed or sess" and five years later he causes a drugs are in resurrection. Eazy E, Snoop, Dre pot head reviving pioneers of the latest drug culture... really ruined rap for me. And they inspired the Ghetto Boys to change from Run-DMC copies to changing the spelling of their name to "GETO" and going straight to gangsta smut rap.

    What ever happened to the good old bubble gum?
