Following in the bad rap theme, here's the UK's own Derek B with his own brand of rap (with a silent 'C' as my dad would say). I was going to go easy on Derek B here, but I heard the album just now and it is truly awful.
All about Derek's prowess 'on the mic' and such. But the irony of all this showing off is that it's done in such a crappy way - it's hilarious!
This record is certainly def - and hearing it, you'll wish you were def as well.

2019 update - I've just found that Mr B died just a couple of months before this was originally uploaded. Had I known at the time I'd have been nicer.
He was never going to have a very successful career in hip hop being called Derek. Looking at the back cover credits, I see a Brian B. aswell.
ReplyDeleteGrandmaster Flash was called Melvin, a name he has the good sense not to use - Maybe Derek thought of the success of 'Eric B' and thought he'd stand a chance - he thought wrong though!
ReplyDeletesorry for being rude but i know everybody has there own thoughts and ideas, it's just a shame your wrong and a bit of a f'in jerk. Derek B was all good for his time and if he was still here could beat most of the talentless f's out there now!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyeah props to derek b. , he was a trail blazer at the time for uk hiphop even if it sounds dated now eh ... ok not the greatest rapper of all time but at least he gave it a shot...
ReplyDeleteanyways, thanks for posting :)
Anonymous 1, I would suggest you get a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 2, that's more like it. You're welcome.
Best version of the album:

Being a lifelong fan and collector of rap records even I find this one an arduous task to sit through.
ReplyDeleteHe did try though and indeed made a (humble) dent when trying to crack the American market.
p.s. GM Flash's real name is Joseph. "Melvin" belongs to his erstwhile and estranged vocal partner, Grandmaster Melle Mel ;)
You're right - I did go and see Grandmaster Flash years ago in Brighton. As he came on, he said 'Hello Brysdon!' We all shouted back 'Brighton!' - he stood corrected, and so shall I. Thanks for your comment Repo
