A look at the blueprints of rap from the 50s, 60s & 70s – from jivey R&B from the proto rock era to the soul & funk storytellers of the 60s & 70s, to spoken word stylists, hazy boogie woogie and beyond! Germany's Trikont label has been making pretty strong compilations that explore the roots of myriad popular styles for years now, and their great at putting together well remembered and too often forgotten nuggets – this one with tracks by Dave Bartholomew, Last Poets, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Pigmeat Markham, U Roy, Andre Williams, Fred Wesley & The New JBs and many more. 21 tracks in all: "Jack That Cat Was Clean" by Dr Horse, "The Monkey" by Dave Bartholomew, "You Ain't Such A Much" by Blanche Thomas, "I'm Bad' by Bo Diddley, "Pass The Biscuits Please" by Andre Williams, "Goofin' Off' by Macy Skipper, "The Jungle King" by Cab Calloway, "E Pluribus Unum" by Last Poets, "Sho Is Good" by Gene Miller and many more.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
