You are not logged in to... We have here a selection of the original hip hop from its beginnings on vinyl from 1979 through to 1982. These were rap's first and funkiest years. The early recordings pre-date sampling with the music provided by a band, usually replaying the groove from a soul or disco tune that was a party favourite at the time. The odd exceptions to this formula is a live‚ style tune with a rap over a DJ cutting breaks. In this era there were the early records of legends like Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash as well as many great records from artists who just managed to release one or two records in their short careers. The raps can sound a little basic compared with what we hear from some of the more intelligent rappers today but the vibes were good, with rocking the party being the main objective. Many of these records have instrumental versions which are great funk and disco tunes in their own right. ![]() Featured Old School HipHop 12s 1979-1982 ![]() 102 further items in stock Afrika Bambaataa - Death Mix ThrowdownUK BLATANT LP Picture cover - £12 Reissue from 87 of 2 old school classics! ![]() Bon Rock & Cotton Candy - Junior Wants To PlayUS TOMMY BOY 12 inch - £10 Rap cut of JUNIOR - Mama Used To Say ![]() Bon Rock & Cotton Candy - Junior Wants To PlayUS TOMMY BOY 12 inch - £8 VG++ Rap cut of JUNIOR - Mama Used To Say ![]() Bon Rock & The Rythem Rebbellion - Searching RapUS REELIN & ROCKIN 12 inch White Label - £40 Rap remake of SEARCHING TO FIND THE ONE ![]() Busy Bee - Making Cash MoneyUS SUGARHILL 12 inch Promo in Company Sleeve - £15 ![]() Captain Sky - Soap Opera CityUS JAMTU 12 inch Promo - £10 Eighties phunk style tune from the captain! ![]() Captain Sky - Soap Opera CityUS JAMTU 12 inch - £8 VG++ Eighties phunk style tune from the captain! ![]() Chapter III - Real RockinUS GRAND GROOVE 12 inch Company Sleeve - £25 rap remake of CHERYL LYNN GOT TO BE REAL ! ![]() Cotton Candy / Grace Jones - Having Fun / Pull Up To The Bumper (Extended Remix)US DISCONET 12 inch - £25 Cotton Candy is mixed by by AFRIKA BAMBAATAA & is an alternate Mix to the TOMMY BOY release.
