Search - U.T.F.O. :: Utfo

Good example of Golden age rap

"UTFO hit high schoolers and young adults full force with "Roxanne Roxanne" in 1984, with it's simple beats and amusing story. If you were in junior high, high school or a freshman or sophomore in college in 1984 who was into Black music, you'll remember this. Classic, innocent pre-gangster rap filled with sprase beats, amusing rhymes, and excellent delivery. Kangol Kid, Dr. Ice, the Educated Rapper, and Mixmaster Ice made an excellent debut (remember how the teenybopper girls swooned over "Fairytale Lover?"). Sadly, UTFO and rap music itself would take the low road lyrically as time went on."

Takes me back

"I don't know if this album is as good as I think it is but in elementary school this was great. On a side note, I was upset to hear that Cool C is sitting on death row."

Lots of memories with this one

"Man, this CD brings back more memories (tied with Run DMC's first two releases, and Whodini's Back In Black) than any tape, album, CD I have ever listened to. Except for Fairytale Lover, this CD has been played atleast 100 times by me and my family. Oh man, talkin' about this almost brings a tear to my eye. These cats had a monster flow, and even though it is outdated, you can tell that Educated Rapper and Kangol Kid were monsters on the mic throughout most of this joint.

That is one of the illest flows ever! That is classic ish!





Leader of the Pack had some of the illest scratchin' ever. If you don't know what scratchin' (turntabilsm) is, then you don't know Hip Hop or its roots.



Roxanne Roxanne and Real Roxanne. Classic story/diss tracks. Forever buried and instantly memorable and quoted by those of us who remember the pre-golden age.



Beats and Rhymes may be my personal favorite track on here. Almost no one remembers this one.



I could go on, but like I said this is and always will be one of my favorite albums.
