Even before he began recording in 1980, │ │ Bambaataa was hip-hop's foremost DJ, an organizer and promoter of the │ │ large block parties during the mid- to late '70s which presaged the │ │ rise of rap. After the success of Planet Rock, he recorded │ │ electro-oriented rap only sparingly, concentrating instead on fusion │ │ -- exemplified by his singles with ex-Sex Pistol John Lydon and fellow │ │ godfather James Brown. Bambaataa had moved to the background by the │ │ late '80s (as far as hip-hop was concerned), but the rise of his Zulu │ │ Nation collective -- including De La Soul, Queen Latifah, A Tribe │ │ Called Quest, and the Jungle Brothers -- found him once more being │ │ tipped as one of rap's founding fathers. │ │ │ │ Born Kevin Donovan in the Bronx on April 10, 1960, Afrika Bambaataa │ │ Aasim took his name from a 19th century Zulu chief. Beginning in 1977, │ │ Bambaataa began organizing block parties and breakdancing competitions │ │ around the Bronx. His excellent turntable techniques led many to │ │ proclaim him the best DJ in the business (though Grandmaster Flash and │ │ DJ Kool Herc were more innovative), and his record debut -- as a │ │ producer -- came in 1980 with Soul Sonic Force's "Zulu Nation │ │ Throwdown." The single was a rallying cry for the Zulu Nation, a group │ │ of like-minded Afrocentric musicians that only gained fame in the late │ │ '80s but had influenced the rise of hip-hop crews throughout the │ │ decade. │ │ │ │ Aside from more production credits on several later singles during │ │ 1980-1981, Afrika Bambaataa didn't become an actual recording artist │ │ until 1982. He signed with Tommy Boy records and released his first │ │ single, "Jazzy Sensation," early that year. "Planet Rock" followed in │ │ June and quickly exploded. Recorded with the help of │ │ producer/dancefloor authority Arthur Baker and assimilating the melody │ │ of Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express," the single hit number four on │ │ the R&B charts (but missed the pop Top 40) and joined the Sugarhill │ │ Gang's "Rapper's Delight" as one of the early classics of hip-hop. │ │ (Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" followed just three months later.) │ │ In the single's wake came dozens of electro groups and recordings, │ │ though none touched the quality of "Planet Rock" -- except, perhaps, │ │ Bambaataa's own follow-up, Looking for the Perfect Beat │ │ │ │ All the important early 12"s from 1982-1984 are here, including │ │ "Planet Rock" and "Looking for the Perfect Beat," plus three │ │ previously unreleased tracks. (Recorded with Soulsonic Force.) │ │ │ │ The cultural nexus where Bronx beat-box freestyling met Kraftwerkian │ │ technocracy, Darth Vader's processed growl and video-arcade-game blips │ │ was lost on everyone but Afrika Bambaataa. Working with producer │ │ Arthur Baker, the New York hip-hop visionary lashed together those │ │ disparate elements to create the bustling electro funk of such party │ │ starters as "Planet Rock," "Looking for the Perfect Beat" and │ │ "Renegades of Funk." Lengthy mixes of those pioneering singles fill │ │ one side of Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force's belated debut album, a │ │ contagious dose of good vibes and even better grooves. │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────[ GroupNews ]─────────────────────────────┐ │ │ : : │ │ www.rabid-vibes.com │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────[ Tracklist ]─────────────────────────────┐ │ │ : : │ │ 01.Planet Rock [07:31] │ │ 02.Looking for the Perfect Beat [06:51] │ │ 03.Renegades of Funk [06:45] │ │ 04.Who You Funkin' With?
