I remember when this came out I was in elementary school and my teacher taught us the word FAD and its definition, comparing it to "rap", saying it will come and go. I remember feeling so angry and refusing her statement to myself saying that this feeling it gave me will last forever!

I was attending elementary Catholic school (2nd grade to 4th grade) during this era, riding on the school bus when these records were coming out. Some kids would ask the bus driver to play these rap cassette tapes borrowed from older siblings. For every rap song the bus driver played, he would play gospel music afterwards the cleanse his pallet I guess!!

‘Sha-Rock’ is top five most technologically sound MC in hip hop history.
Til this day.
She’s slept on, because she’s a female.
But actually, she was the best MC in the group. 💥💥💥💥💥💥

[crazycuts]

"That's The Joint" is one of my favorite funky rap tracks of all time! It's the joint!

[irwangszpaeski]

An awesome insight on this band I followed from the early 80s

[Neosoulgroovydude]

One person from this era was angie stone. The original angie b. Shes the premier neosoul singee now. Arguably this generations gladys.
