Waaay Back In 1983...

Been busy trying to catch up on somethings this week, mainly a couple interviews that I've been sitting on for awhile and a couple other projects. Still have a full slate of things for the rest of the week....until now, enjoy the sounds of 1983 once again.

This little mix comes from DJ Scientist and his label Equinox Records.

28 Minutes About Money & Hard Times In 1983

10 nice tracks solely out of the year 1983 to keep you grooving. Obscure lyrics like those of an M.C. called January 20 (a scarce record out of Ohio) and Mr. Supa-Rap’s "Bills" will definitely put a smile on your face. On the other hand, kid rapper Ken "C" complains about the school system, the Hit And Run crew (with a rare track featured on the German label Metrovynil) worries about getting jailed, and Run-D.M.C. provides us with their classic joint "Hard Times".

How about another Run-DMC track from 1983, in this case from Cash Money's Plot 2 mix:

Run-DMC's "Here We Go" aka Live at the Funhouse anyone?

Btw I can't find where to download that '83 mix.

Oops, fixed....

"Here We Go" would boom in the system

Word, and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that technically the first time Billy Squire's "Big Beat" was used in a hip hop track?

Because like Roxanne, Roxanne which also used it perfectly came out a year or two later right?

My brain may be dusty..

cause I just made the muthafuckas up last night!
