World Class Wrecking Crew Or something like that.
I was listening to some old hip hop song (by Luke) dissing Dr. Dre for being part of this group. Who are they what songs do they have that are noteworthy? "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

Very true. I hate the work that Dr. Dre did afterwards but I love some of the World Class Wrecking Crew stuff. It's totally different than what he later became. Jams like "The Fly" and "Bionic" are very uptempo dance floor jams made from scratch, not samples. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I love that electrofunk type of music from the 80s like egyptian lover, jonzun crew, neucleus, planet patrol, la dream team, pretty tony, and more. even Midnight Star had some good electro joints with Electricity and Operator. too bad it was short-lived. | |

I love planet patrol. killer beats on that bad boy! Trinere has that same sound as Pretty Tony and Freestyle except their vocals are done with an electronic voice. The Jonzun Crew is on Tommy Boy Records, the same label as Planet Patrol. They have a very outer space sound like Planet Patrol and Soul Sonic Force. Maurice Starr from the group worked with New Edition on their first album and later New Kids On The Block. Andy is a four letter word. | |

The Cabbage Patch wasn't a popular song? They created that dance right? I have the mp3 of the song I don't think anyone cares enough for me to upload it. Fun raps. | |

[Edited 4/20/06 12:33pm] Great list of songs, this really takes me back. I have all the Street Jams cd's and I love them. The 80's were a great time for music. I remember seeing Trinere in concert back in the day and also getting to meet her after the show. | |
