Wild Style [Mr. Bongo]

by Various Artists

3 Stars (out of 5) - "...The music of the seminal 1982 hip-hop flick...features some classic rap performances, now available domestically for the first time....there's some serious manna for hip-hop junkies here..."
Included on Spin's list of "Unheard Music." - "The formerly out-of-print manifesto is the hip-hop head's Holy Grail....On WILD STYLE, Kangol-kids such as the Cold Crush Bros. and Fab 5 Freddy made a party train out of (almost) nothing in the desolation of the South Bronx..."
"[W]ith punchy jams densely packed with samples, turntable skills and rapping....The rapping from crews such as The Cold Crush Brothers and The Fantastic Freaks is often outstanding..."
