Box 4

Scope and Contents One of my favorite Zulu crews. I never understood why Funk Machine broke up, they were a pretty talented group. L.J., Kid Vicious, Elroy and Donald Dee do routines as well as freestyle. Jazzzy Jay gets a solo as Islam tears it up for the routines. Real good find on this Funk Machine tape. They say, "Breaker 1, 9   are you on my line?" as they introduce each other before they rap. Then toward the end they get with the crowd. Spoonie Gee was supposed to be on this tape but his part was so...

Another great find, Furious 5 starts with, “Where going to a party!” and then they raise the roof. When Mercedes Ladies get on Baby Dee sounded so good I would have bet money Flash was DJing for them. Then Theodore starts the routine with the countdown of each member of Fantastic to the numbers of Funky Drummer. Then Funky Four get on and do routines. An all around good show. 60 mins.

Scope and Contents I got a couple of short pieces with Caz rocking at different shows that I couldn’t leave in the draw. One has Caz rocking off of Buffalo Girls where he does a rhyme about, “My birth was something like from the bible, where everyone was waiting for my arrival!” Another piece has Caz rocking with Biz Mark and Gangster Lou in Long Island. The last one has Caz rocking with Special K in The Ecstasy Garage. Side B of the Soul Sonic Force is one of my greatest finds because I had been looking for...

Scope and Contents Unbelievable! This is a young Moe Dee and L.A. Sunshine. They call themselves The Treacherous 3 with Moe, L.A. and Spoonie Gee. Spoonie is not on this show. Moe says a lot of rhymes I never heard before. I also have to say Moe said one of his rhymes twice in this set. L.A. is not even recognizable because his voice sounds so young. And on the flip side Mike Cee gets on and if I wasn’t told in advance he was on the tape I would not have recognized his voice either. The DJ for this party is...

Scope and Contents This is Legendary Saturdays at Willies Lounge in Harlem. This is also a welcome home party for J.D.L. I am not sure if it’s a welcome home from College or The Military! DJ Imperial Jay Cee and DJ Holiday take turns on the turntables. When J.D.L. gets on the mic he hasn’t lost a step. When J.D.L. finished Caz said, “I see what you was doing up there!” Special K gets on and he owns the mic, he did work. Real good set by Special K. Funk Master Wiz gets on and he’s on some Suge Knight, Just Ice...

Scope and Contents Jazzy Jay rocks the beat box along with the Flash and Furious 5 beat box plate. Master Bee, Master Ice, Ice Ice, The Dynamite Brothers, Donald Dee, Pow Wow, Mr. Big. Master Bee rhymes about shooting dice, also does a rhyme about other emcees stealing his rhymes and having to deal with the lord. While the party is going on they are selling Chicken, Steak, Hotdogs, Potato Chips, Bacardi, Vodka, soda and Orange juice! I am not sure if this piece is a part of the show but it is Barons birthday...

Scope and Contents Ikey Cee is the host for Bambaataa. The place is packed. After Arthur 4X finishes his routine Bizmark comes on and the crowd goes berserk. All the boroughs including New Jersey represent. Bizmark kills it and out of know where KRS1 comes on and its chaos in the crowd. Cool V is cutting for both Biz and KRS1. Africa Islam, Grandmaster Caz, Rock Steady Crew, Brand Nubian and many others are in the house. Grand Puba comes up next and now he is solo from Brand Nubian. He lets the crowd know...
