Have I ever told y'all that LL Cool J's"To the Break of Dawn" is one of the greatest diss tracks ever? Yeah, I'm sure I have 😂. Rare live version of him catching wreck over Keni Burke's classic "Keep Rising to the top" joint. Audio courtesy of DJ Lord Sear 🙏🏾🕊️

imagine going to the club during this era and you hear this knocking at the entrance? 😮💨 That bass line Oscar Alston laid down for Teena Marie's "I need your lovin" should have secured his retirement. This is PEAK LEVEL, dance floor funk. "I need your lovin" '80

Some more of those "loud party raps" from Melle Mel... "Beat Street"

Easy to overlook The Sylvers. Hell, it took the late, great J Dilla to not only bring back attention to the group, but their earlier work, as well. Their first three albums on Pride are absolute gems from production to arrangement to vocals. Just listen. "Fool's Paradise" '72

I can't speak for Brooklyn. But man, I don't know how "Broken Language" isn't enshrined in the borough's Hall of Fame lol. What Smooth Da Hustler & Trigga Tha Gambler did over this DR Period knocker, is legendary shit. Btw, Smooth penned Foxy's verse for "ain't no n//ga" too?!

I just know when Hi-Tek saved and ran this beat back on his studio monitors, he probably lost all the cartilage in his neck 😤 That ridiculous bass line and that echoed vocal jumping out the speakers every few bars is madness! "Gangsta Boogie" J Dilla feat Snoop & Kokane '16

I never understood the point of bringing down one (in this case, an entire era) to big up another. But that's the world we live in... But to simply imply that the previous era was merely loud party raps, is simply not true. The R had a predecessor. Melle Mel did NOT. "WW 3"

Barry White was really out here finding talent man. Danny Pearson, probably most known for "What Your Sign", released Mr. Danny Pearson under Unlimited Gold label. This cut is one of my favorites. The opening guitar is so damn smooth. Give it a listen... "Say It Again" '78
