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.

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.
