What’s better, the instrumental or the vocal? The vocal inevitably veers into cheese territory, but that’s its strength, so here we are. Can’t argue with the beats though. When I was growing up I was aware of this, but not fully ingrained, there were so many other things going on. The fusion of early rap and electro comes without any caveats and is as raw as can be. No pretence or artifice. Just a view into what was going on at the time in New York, and made adaptable globally. Arguably in the midst of the second great explosion of popular music, when the underground was all there was.
