VI TIPSER / Bengans Personal tipser / Hiphop-Funk 75-85

Morgan tipser om Hiphop-Funk fra slutten av 70- til begynnelsen av 80-tallet, både CD & LP
På slutten av 70-tallet kom mengder med fantastisk soul/-funk som jeg selv oppdaget først senere, men med Kurtis Blows debutalbum fra 1980 med klassikeren 'The Breaks' startet en hiphop- og funkperiode med mer elektroniske innslag, og med personlige favoritter som Grandmaster Flash, George Clinton og Africa Bambaataa. Mye er utsolgt, men det kommer nyutgivelser med jevne mellomrom, så det gjelder å slå til når man finner. Her følger et blandet utvalg fra perioden. / Morgan

Tommy Boy reissues exclusive limited edition pressing of Afrika Bambatta & Soulsonic Force's "Planet Rock"
Considered one of founding fathers of rap, Afrika Bambaataa has long been considered a revolutionary, both within the music business and beyond. With the groundbreaking release of Soulsonic Force assisted, "Planet Rock," in 1982, Afrika Bambaataa forever cemented his place in the history books as one of the most revered and innovative artists of his time. Since its release, "Planet Rock" has gone on to be recognized as one of the earliest Hip Hop hits and remains one of the genres most pioneering recordings. A long-time favourite amongst break-dancers, DJ's and music lovers alike, "Planet Rock" was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine at #240 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and has received Gold certification by the RIAA. Originally released in 1986 as a collection of previous singles, this highly sought after record has long since been out of production, until now.
