Utfo and Lethal and Album and Hiphop Download utfo and lethal and album and hiphop download Doc Ice of Whodini & UTFO (Roxanne Roxanne) Passion and a sense of reclaiming his spot in hip-hop can be heard in Brooklyn’s native and hip hop’s pioneer, hip-hop legend, Doc Ice. With a career spanning more than 23 years, hip-hop legend DOC ICE will be bringing back Hip Hop music at it's best! Doctor Ice is a rapper in the hip-hop world. He was with the group UTFO, most famous for its song "Roxanne, Roxanne" released as a single in 1984, before the self-titled debut album in 1985. The group recorded 4 albums together that did well, charting some number-one singles, as well as the number-2 album in the country, under Michael Jackson on the Billboard charts. He is also the younger brother of Jalil of the hip-hop group Whodini. Doc got his start before UTFO, as a dancer for Whodini, along with the Kangol Kid, and can be seen in many of their videos and performances. Doctor Ice had a stage persona known as the Debonair Doc, or Doc Ice of Whodini & UTFO. Some other accomplishments made by UTFO are the following: First Rap Group to perform at the Apollo Theater. First Rap Group to record Rap with Reggae ("Pick up the Pace"). First Rap Group to record an R&B love ballad ("Fairytale Lover", which also inspired Run DMC's "Peter Piper"). First Rap Group to perform an R & B ballad on Soul Train. First Rap/Breakdance group. First break dancers for a Rap Group (Whodini). First breakers on a talk show (Phil Donahue). The only recording artists to inspire over 25 answer records ("Roxanne, Roxanne"). The third album "Lethal" peaked on Billboard's R & B chart at number 2 (before Billboard had created a Rap Chart). UTFO has toured with some of the biggest names in Hip Hop such as Run DMC, Whodini, LL Cool J, and The Fat Boys. They also toured with New Edition, and opened up for acts such as The Thompson Twins, Hall & Oates, and The Temptations. Doctor Ice also influenced Hip-Hop dancing with a new form. His influence can be noted by the dance moves in videos done by artists such as Kid N Play, Scrap Lover and Scoop Lover (dancers for Big Daddy Kane) and G-Wiz, and the late Trouble T-Roy (from Heavy D & The Boyz). The commercial world fashioned their dance moves after Michael Jackson, but the black community embraced Doc Ice because his dancing was reflective of the type of acrobatic dance moves done at a house/block party or in smaller nightclubs. He left UTFO in the late 80's before the group's breakup in 1991, to start a solo career. His first album, The Mic Stalker in 1989, produced by R&B group Full Force, had the singles "Word To The Wise", "Love Jones" and "Sue Me". Ice also collaborated with Dino (singer), for his 1990 song "Romeo" (charting at #6) on the album Swingin. His second album, Rely On Self appeared in 1994. In 2007, Doc with Whodini were crowned VH1 Hip-Hop Honorees (dubbed the Hip Hop Hall of Fame). In 2009, Doc Ice earned 2 spots in the VH1 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time. He had one spot with UTFO, and another with Whodini. Also in 2009, Doc Ice appeared on several albums that came out all under the same label(Premier). Doc was on North Bay famed group At All Costs' album 20/20 Vision, and the Rappin' 4-Tay Presents At All Costs "Delusions of Grandeur" mixtape. Later on that year, Doc re-released a remastered version of "Rely On Selph" which included the bonus track "They Got Me", which introduced his new DJ (DJ Cazz). Then just before the year ended, Doctor Ice appeared on Skee-Lo's OVERDOSE EP. Ice was featured on the songs "OVERDOSE" with DJ Cazz, and "How Did I Know" with Paul "SEQUENCE" Ferguson & REDStar. In 2010, Doc Ice was featured on Shan Egan's "Purple People", which was released by TEEC/Sony RED. 2011-2013 Doc Ice worked hard in the studio writing, producing and recording. He has been touring with Whodini throughout the USA. In 2013 Look out for his New Album. The Doctor Will See You Now Watch for more to come. The Sky is the limit! Doc has released a premier line of fragrances for men and women - Karats Cologne for men and 24 Karats for women by Doc Ice. Utfo and lethal and album and hiphop download. Brooklyn, New York City, New York, United States. Years active. Select (1984-1989) UTFO/Jive/RCA (1990-1991) Associated acts. Past members. UTFO (an acronym of U n t ouchable F orce O rganization) was an American hip hop group from Brooklyn, New York. The group consisted of Kangol Kid, Educated Rapper, Doctor Ice and Mixmaster Ice. The group's best known single is "Roxanne, Roxanne", a song that inspired a number of answer records and the Roxanne Wars. Kangol Kid and Doctor Ice were originally a dance duet named The Keystone Dancers, and performed for Whodini. Eventually, they went on to form UTFO, and were mentored by R&B group Full Force. Signing to Select Records, the group released four albums during the 1980s before releasing their fifth and final album, Bag It & Bone It , in 1991. UTFO – UTFO. It’s hard to do a fair review of one of my all time favorite hiphop albums, but I will try. Let’s see, this album has a little of everything in it. First, three installments of the classic Roxanne saga. The original ROXANNE, ROXANNE, (the B side to HANGING OUT), that spawned all the answer albums. THE REAL ROXANNE, the UTFO approved answer record, and CALLING HER A CRAB, the ‘end’ to the saga. What can be said? Catchy, fast rhymes over sparse beats and the distinctive Mixmaster Ice scratches. Classic Hip Hop. Along the same lines, musically, is LEADER OF THE PACK, but this time we have a classic brag record. Every crew must have one of these, and this, “as a matter of fact, to be exact, this is not fiction, this is all fact”, this is a great one. HANGING OUT, in my opinion, is one of the greatest hip hop records of all time. It has the amazing ability to remind me of both old school and late 80’s west coast. Great verbal acrobatics through out the whole record, and a slightly haunting and catchy synth sound. BEATS AND RHYMES is similar in construction to HANGING OUT, but not on the same level. BITE IT. Every album has to have a worst song. FAIRYTALE LOVER. Seems a bit out of place on a rap album, but I always thought you could play it as a slow song at a junior high dance and it would fit right in. RUN of RUN-DMC sites this song as his inspiration for PETER PIPER. LISA LIPS. Another interesting song. Harder. More misogynistic than the original Roxanne record. This one reminds me of the later guitar heavy east coast hip hop, but still has it’s old school roots. As I said, I think this was one of the all time best hip hop albums. It has a little bit of everything in it. My original 15 year old cassette tape of this album was stolen out of my car back in September, ’99. Luckily, I tracked down a CD of it, so I can make enough copies on tape to last the rest of my life. Submitted by Bif D.

There are a lot of artists who pioneered and helped define the Hip Hop genre in the 1980s, who are widely celebrated on this and other platforms, as are the classic albums and songs they released during Hip Hop’s breakout decade. There’s also a lot of artists and/or songs that tend to be overlooked for all the wrong reasons. For this playlist, we’ve selected 29 of our favorite 1980s tracks most of which hardly ever show up on 1980s ‘best of’ lists. Of course, there’s a lot more – some we didn’t include simply because they’re not on Spotify, some because maybe we forgot about them… If there are any 1980s Hip Hop songs you would have included on a list like this, let us know! Fresh 3 MCs - Fresh (1983) The Fresh 3 MC’s were a crew of four (Mr. Bee, Jay Kool, B-Unique (Born Unique), and DJ B-Divine) signed to Profile Records in 1982. Their debut single “Fresh” was released the following year. Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious Five - Step Off (1984) Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five were responsible for steering Hip Hop in new directions with the mega classic “The Message” (1982), and other songs of course. Later lead-rapper Melle Mel would become the frontman of the Furious Five, and this is one of their later singles – not mentioned nearly enough when early 80s Hip Hop is discussed.

  • Abstract Humanities Jordan Iii, Augustus W. B.S. Florida
    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JORDAN III, AUGUSTUS W. B.S. FLORIDA A&M UNIVERSITY, 1994 M.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1998 THE IDEOLOGICAL AND NARRATIVE STRUCTURES OF HIP-HOP MUSIC: A STUDY OF SELECTED HIP-HOP ARTISTS Advisor: Dr. Viktor Osinubi Dissertation Dated May 2009 This study examined the discourse of selected Hip-Hop artists and the biographical aspects of the works. The study was based on the structuralist theory of Roland Barthes which claims that many times a performer’s life experiences with class struggle are directly reflected in his artistic works. Since rap music is a counter-culture invention which was started by minorities in the South Bronx borough ofNew York over dissatisfaction with their community, it is a cultural phenomenon that fits into the category of economic and political class struggle. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of New York artists Shawn Carter (Jay Z), Nasir Jones (Nas), and southern artists Clifford Harris II (T.I.) and Wesley Weston (Lii’ Flip). The artists were selected on the basis of geographical spread and diversity. Although Hip-Hop was again founded in New York City, it has now spread to other parts of the United States and worldwide. The study investigated the biography of the artists to illuminate their struggles with poverty, family dysfunction, aggression, and intimidation. 1 The artists were found to engage in lyrical battles; therefore, their competitive discourses were analyzed in specific Hip-Hop selections to investigate their claims of authorship, imitation, and authenticity, including their use of sexual discourse and artistic rivalry, to gain competitive advantage.

The general objective is to determine what is being communicated through these expressive forms, to whom, how, and finally to suggest why it is being communicated. The extent to which the encoded messages are consistent with reports of the subculture's goals is then discussed. It is asserted that hip hop operates as an alternative identity management and problem-solving mechanism within the black American ghetto.

  • Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992
    Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992 By Felicia Angeja Viator A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leon F. Litwack, Co-Chair Professor Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Co-Chair Professor Scott Saul Fall 2012 Abstract Gangster Boogie: Los Angeles and the Rise of Gangsta Rap, 1965-1992 by Felicia Angeja Viator Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Leon F. Litwack, Co-Chair Professor Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Co-Chair “Gangster Boogie” details the early development of hip-hop music in Los Angeles, a city that, in the 1980s, the international press labeled the “murder capital of the U.S.” The rap music most associated with the region, coined “gangsta rap,” has been regarded by scholars, cultural critics, and audiences alike as a tabloid distortion of East Coast hip-hop. The dissertation shows that this uniquely provocative genre of hip-hop was forged by Los Angeles area youth as a tool for challenging civic authorities, asserting regional pride, and exploiting the nation’s growing fascination with the ghetto underworld. Those who fashioned themselves “gangsta rappers” harnessed what was markedly difficult about life in black Los Angeles from the early 1970s through the Reagan Era––rising unemployment, project living, crime, violence, drugs, gangs, and the ever-increasing problem of police harassment––to create what would become the benchmark for contemporary hip-hop music. My central argument is that this music, because of the social, political, and economic circumstances from which it emerged, became a vehicle for underclass empowerment during the Reagan Era.

  • HERE`S a LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD Microphone Grandmistresses, Lady Def Jams, Battle Queens, Mixmistresses, Fly Emcees, Spinderellas from the Late 70S to 1990
    JEE-NICE PRESENTS: HERE`S A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD Microphone Grandmistresses, Lady Def Jams, Battle Queens, Mixmistresses, Fly Emcees, Spinderellas from the late 70s to 1990. Enjoy & spread the word! This Booklet is dedicated to all the ladies who rock da mike and spin the turntables. This copied fan-mag tries to discover the story of female hiphop activity from the beginning of hiphop culture in the late 70s to 1990. There is a cut in 1990. It was difficult to draw that line, to decide which artists to include and which not. Yo Yo, Queen Mother Rage, Sister Souljah, BWP, Conscious Daughters are not in it because they are more 90s then 80s. Nikki D, Tairrie B. and L.A. Star are on the edge, but I included them, because they are more 80s. What I did was to collect all the lyrics and pictures, which I could find and republish facts which are important for making history. I didn’t want to write anything new, I wanted to collect, to see what you can find out (in Germany), if you want to. In the end it’s not much and nothing that was published in the german language. You will find the source material in an appendix, so that you can check out where it comes from and read more, if you want to. Pictures without numbers are from my own record collection. This compilation can’t be complete and some facts will be wrong, but I have tried to make it as accurate as I can.

  • Status, Votive Luxury, and Labour: the Female Rapper’S Delight
    VOLUME 1 Status, Votive Luxury, and Labour: The Female Rapper’s Delight https://doi.org/10.38055/FS010203 By Nigel Lezama Abstract: Rap and luxury fashion form hip hop’s most unshakable couple. However, female rappers appear to have a more difficult time acquiring and manipulating luxury fashion. When the female rapper demands expensive clothing from her sex partners, is she complicit in her reification as a sexually alienated subject or is she highlighting the value of Black women’s labour? In fact, if we look closely at the nexus of luxury fashion, sexuality, and female rappers, there occurs an import-ant transformation of the luxury sign. For rappers like Roxanne Shanté, Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B, luxury objects and branded fashion are not symbols of taste or habitus, in the sense Bourdieu (1979) gives them. Instead, these female rappers question the social weight carried by the luxury commodi-ty; they demand consecration, in the truest sense of the word, through the luxury gift; or, conversely, they highlight the luxury commodity’s real use value. Keywords: Roxanne Shanté Nicki Minaj Cardi B Hip Hop Luxury VOLUME 1 Introduction Women have been central to hip-hop culture since August 1973, when DJ Cool Herc inaugurated the movement with two turntables at a dance party for his sister’s sixteenth birthday. However, this has not always taken positive forms; women have been the preferred subject of patriarchal, misogynist, or moral- izing tracks since the beginning of the movement. For example, N.W.A.’s “One Less Bitch” (Niggaz4Life, 1991) is a poignant example of misogynist currents that have evolved and run through some rap.

I never imagined my passion, or crazy obsession with trainers would lead to this, but I am happy that I was always able to see beyond the rubber, canvas, leather and glue. My biggest thank you is for the aficionada community whom I am forever indebted to. To all the wonderful women I met during my research trip, who took the time to “chop it up” with me. Your words are truly the heart of this work. Your passion, knowledge and presence is inspiring to me and I am forever grateful for your time and insights. To my supervisors Dr Rebecca Fraser and Dr Sarah Garland, two great minds and great towers of support for the past two years and more, who made supervisions fun and engaging - as they should be and who got me to this point. To my parents, hopefully you will finally understand what it is I do, and what has kept me in Norwich five years too long.
