▓▓████▄ ▀▀▀▀▀ Ì▓██▓▓
Ì▓████▓¦ Back in hip-hop's old school era ù roughly 1978-1982 Ì▓██▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ ù albums were the exception and not the rule. Hip-hop ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ became a lot more album-minded with the rise of its ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ second generation (Run-D.M.C., Whodini, the Fat Boys, ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ among others) around 1983-1984, but in the beginning, ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ many MCs recorded nothing but singles. Two exceptions ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ were the Sugarhill Gang and Kurtis Blow, whose ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ self-titled debut album of 1980 was among hip-hop's ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ first LPs and was the first rap album to come out on ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ a major label. Thus, Kurtis Blow has serious historic ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ value, although it is mildly uneven. Some of the ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ tracks are superb, including "The Breaks" (a Top Five ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ R&B smash in 1980) and "Rappin' Blow, Part Two," ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ which is the second half of Blow's 1979 debut single, ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ "Christmas Rappin'." And "Hard Times" is a forceful ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ gem that finds Blow addressing social issues two ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ years before Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ popularized sociopolitical rapping with 1982's ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ sobering "The Message." Some of the other tracks, ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ however, are decent but not remarkable. Switching ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ from rapping to singing, Blow detours into Northern ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ soul on the Chi-Lites-influenced ballad "All I Want ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ in This World (Is to Find That Girl)" and arena rock ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ on an unexpected cover of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ "Takin' Care of Business." While those selections are ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ likable and kind of interesting ù how many other old ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ school rappers attempted to sing soul, let alone ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ arena rock? ù the fact remains that rapping, not ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ singing, is Blow's strong point. And Mercury really ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ screwed up by providing only the second half of ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ "Christmas Rappin'"; that landmark single should have ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ been heard in its entirety. But despite its flaws and ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ shortcomings, Kurtis Blow is an important album that ███▓▓¦
▓▓████▓ hip-hop historians should make a point of hearing. ███▓▓¦
