here it is, one of the holy grail 45's of the early rap scene. produced and designed by jean-michel basquiat, this is the original extremely rare limited edition release on tartown. here's one of the commonly quoted blurbs about this record: "That mad nasal style... "Break it up Cypress Hill," "Shoot 'em up y'all, yeah" - it sounds like the hallmark of that fumigated Cypress funk. You know, the sound that eerily lurches and churns like the Ultraman credits. Well, teleport yourself like Dr. Who back to 83, and you'll hear one of the more unsung lyrical influences upon B-Real, Beasties, and countless others -"Did you get my drift?" Rammelzee vs. K-Rob's "Beat Bop" is a 10:10 epic of eternal lyric trade-off between graffiti madman Rammelzee and a low-key K-Rob. With prophetic flavor, Rammelzee screeches lines like, "Shoot 'em up, yeah. Shoot 'em up y'all, yeah," with such piercing conviction that you'd think he'd sucked his nose into his brain. Never have snot bulk and rhymes sounded so good together. As B-Real successfully reflects his microphone roots, phrases like, "Break it up Cypress Hill," and, "Scooby Doo, what you gonna do crew," are pit stops in this deranged journey through your dome. Being notoriously adroit with the graffiti pens and paint, Rammelzee combined with late graffiti visionary Jean Michel Basquiat on this project. As "Beat Bop" could be one of hip-hop's first art songs, Basquiat's production is not indicative of the 808 madness of the early 80's. The lazy track slowly inhales you with looping bongos, guitar, and some Trevor Hornish water-bloop sounds. Rammelzee splatters the vinyl with entangled and overlapping verbal hues derived from from the heart of hip-hop culture. His lyrical physics gush with the volatility and complexity of a Wild Style tag. K-Rob compliments Rammelzee's off-and-on-again nasal control with chilled street commentary. The 411 is limited on K-Rob, though he released another single on Profile entitled "The Day K-Rob Came Back." "Beat Bop" is as intrinsic to the hip-hop fiend's collection as Krylon is to the A-Line." i couldn't have said it better myself!
