The Latin Rascals: 98.7 KISS Mastermix Dance Party [March 16, 1985]
“People of the universe, this is yours.” One of the hottest early rap records. Dig the minimalism, and note how DJ Jazzy Jay lives up to his moniker during the scratch break at the 1:03 mark.
From about 1984 to 1986 I listened to the 98.7 KISS and 107.5 WBLS Mastermix Dance Parties religiously, every Friday and Saturday night. The DJ on KISS was usually either DJ Red Alert or DJ Chuck Chillout, but then one night I flipped on the radio and heard the Latin Rascals. My brain exploded. These guys were doing something that sounded unreal, like science fiction. Then we found out it was done with reel-to-reel tape editing (!)
“It’s Yours (megamix)” is actually an excerpt from a tape of one of the Rascals’ broadcasts on KISS, probably from ’85. The basic song sequence is:
Fat Boys: Human Beat Box – Fantasy 3: It’s Your Rock – T La Rock: It’s Yours – Kurtis Blow: A.J.
The “Mastermix Dance Party” is about 45 minutes from a tape of another Rascals show on 98.7, including MCA & Burzootie: “Drum Machine” and Malcolm McClaren: “Hobo Scratch”, among many other highlights.

Kool Moe Dee made it clear he wasn’t going to let his feud with LL Cool J fade away. Moe Dee took this rhyme battle to the next level with “Let’s Go”. According to Moe Dee, LL had taken the bait when he responded to his first salvo – “How Ya Like Me Now”. With “Let’s Go” Moe Dee had basically set the standard for which future diss songs would be judged. LL then seemed content on taking the high road for a while, but finally returned in the summer of 1990 with “To Da Break Of Dawn”.
Around this time L.A.-based rapper Ice T, and the energetic MC Hammer were making lots of noise in the industry. LL took notice and set aside sharp verses for them in “To Da Break Of Dawn”. Another track that would go on to become a huge hit for LL – “Mama Said Knock You Out” was also released during this time. Again, LL took aim at Kool Moe Dee and possibly everyone else on his list without directly referencing them.
Kool Moe Dee would follow this all up and fire the last shot with “Death Blow”.

I remember
Not too long ago
I went to a theatre
And I saw the Kool and The Gang show
I always wanted
To fit into a band
To sing my songs
And become a bad piano playing man
So here I am
In this Hollywood city
The city of the stars
Movies, women and cars
Well I guess I
I guess I
Star
Hey, hey, hey
What ya got to say
Hey, hey, hey
