Random selection of tunes out of shelves

Today I were sorting my stuff and decided to make a gallery of dope 80's LPs I own. Some hip-hop, some funk/soul, but these the ones I really love. 

- Talking bout hip-hop, the selection features some solid underrated albums such as Boogie Boys 2nd album (I have all three their albums on LP, but I think this one deserves more credit than it gets), Clay D and Davy D (believe it was the first LP on Def Jam label ever released). 

- Also there are solid 80's old school icons such as Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, UTFO, Keith Rogers aka Bon Rock (in here as a frontman of Break Machine), and of course Fat Boys. P.S. Talking bout Kurtis' albums on this one, I recognize he's not the best rap artist even by the early-mid 80's standards, but I love 'Tough' and 'Party Time'. Gotta admit his 2nd album 'Deuce' was a disappointment to me when I first heard it. 

- I think I never give much credit to women who made it all happen in the 70's-80's soul music and hip-hop scenes. Millie Jackson and Pointer Sisters were just 2 names out of many but they were great. As for Pointer Sisters, this LP is called as probably their most recognized track, as for Millie, 'I Had To Say It' LP was released in 1980 when she was already a recognized artist with numerous hits and great albums in 1970's. I love this album because Millie was not afraid to experiment with new sound. So she did a rappin' on side A. Made it funny as hell, but I RESPECT HER FOR THAT! ... and there's also the contemporary icon of hip-hop's strong independent lady - Queen Latifah and her debut 1989 LP. Legendary as well!

- As for compilations - there's a soundtrack of Krush Groove (featuring aforementioned Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow and many more (sheesh, I now think I should have included the LP of Chaka Khan in this gallery write-up). Ok, maybe next time.... But yeah, Krush Groove might be a bit cheesy movie even for 80's standards but it's worth watching. I watched it for the last time around 2008 and found it entertaining. 

- Two not yet mentioned entries in this gallery are Fresh Jams 1985 comp featuring all those artists that were f-f-f-fresh in mid or early 80's. Meanwhile Artists United Against Apartheid is an iconic 80's protest supergroup project against the racial situation and injustice in South Africa involving artists from many genres (hip-hop aswell). 

Let me know below the post in the comments which ones you would like to get in HQ.  And I will try to put them up in following weeks. 

And RESPECT THE CULTURE!

There are no attachments and links this time, YET because these would need to be ripped. Let me know.
