Troy L. Smith’s 251 Live Old school hip-hop tapes from 1977 to 1983. To get in contact with me call 212-361-9822
With a true story, and a list of some of the Freshest, Flyest, Wildest, Boldest shows from the trend setters of Hip Hop.

What’s up to my brothers and sisters, who hold a common interest in old school hip hop tapes as I. In my quest on a never ending journey for these tapes I’ve found great happiness when I come a cross some hellified tapes that be rocking like a mother. I also found tapes that sounded terrible as far as quality, some have had a lot of hissing sounds, and some have been recorded many times over. I have tapes that are pieces from other party’s some sound too fast, sometimes there are gaps, I even had a couple tapes that were made from a radio sitting in front of a speaker. Then there are those beautiful clear tapes. Thank the lord for them. I remember being a young brother of 11 maybe 12, getting a tape from a friend going home and not coming outside for hours because I was caught up in this tape. I would be in my room playing it over and over, trying to imagine how the place looked, where the party was , and trying to picture what these guys looked like, and just loving the lyrics and the sounds from the M.C. and DJ. Even after knowing the tape by heart, I still listened to it over and over. I would hear some dope sounds like, Kool Moe Dee battling Busy Bee and making history by saying the most unbelievable battle rhymes off the top of his head, ripping Busy Bee apart. Caz having prepared rhymes for hecklers in the crowd were he blatantly disses the hell out of them. The Treacherous Three telling Mele Mel and the Furious Five they can’t get down, and asking them openly for a battle.
The infamous Johnny Wa and Rayvon having all the emcee’s of that time reciting their rhymes. The Fantastic 5 setting the hip hop world straight on why they are legendary in their battle against the Cold Crush Brothers. Flash going Bananas on the beat box and his Furious 5 emcees stating why they are the father of all hip hop groups. The Funky 4 rising back up to the top after losing Rahiem and adding Lil Rodney Cee and Jazzy Jeff. Donald Dee, Kid Vicious and Afrika Islam solidifying their history in 118 park in one of those legendary summer nights in the Bronx.
The Force m.c.’s being a breath of fresh air, with their signature F- Troop and Adams family routine’s. Busy Bee a one man army slaying parties where ever he went. Cool a— Reggie Reg and the rest of the Crash Crew doing it in their silky style. Master Don and his Def Committee emcees showing the hip hop world why they better not sleep on them. Caz and J.D.L. the humorous, sarcastic crowd rockers that turned the Cold Crush Brothers into a Dynasty. Theodore and Flash cutting the hell out of records and so many dope routines and rhymes, by the likes of the Cold Crush brothers, Crash Crew, Fantastic Five, Treacherous Three, Furious Five, Master Don and the Death Committee, Disco 4, L-Brothers, Zulu Nation, Magnificent 7 of Harlem, Funk Machine, Funky Four and others.
To my ears, those were the best crews. Much props to Doug E. Fresh as he made his bones and later became an international star. The Fearless Four killed it freestyle, although they did even more damage when they did album recordings. Spoonie Gee sounds better on his albums, then at live party’s free styling, I say that because it is hard to get tapes of him free styling with out him doing his records. Kurtis Blow got the girls screaming while he is singing daydreaming. Also have to give props to Sweetie Gee for being the best emcee in Queens at that time in my opinion. I also want to give my man Rocking Rob of the Original Mean Machine props. Rocking Rob and his emcee’s know how to kill it!
Much props to my dude Pow Wow, Globe and the rest of the Zulu Nation Warriors.
Now I have to talk about the 3 Kings and one throne. Kool Moe Dee was the reason I never liked or gave myself the chance to like LL Cool J, (L.L. I later learned to respect a great deal for his longevity, acting skills and just watching his growth through the years, and I am not going to front, I still nod my head to many of his joints.) because to me Moe Dee was the man, at that time. But today I would have to say that Caz is the man. I probably like them both the same but I have much more tapes of the CC4 then the Treacherous Three. I know Mele Mel is a bad brother, cause on those albums he use to kill it. But to me he never said enough on the tapes, and his crew use to piss me off because the never really did a show, you know routines. They would have me open, but they wouldn’t give us enough routines or any in their shows.
I asked Caz one day who was the best between him, Moe Dee and Mel. Of course he said him, and get this, he said that they knew he was the best. Of course Moe didn’t agree to this, when he read this. I am sure Mel would not have either. I know that battle would have been the bomb back in the days. I think I would have set it up like this, Dot-a Rock, D.L.B., Rayvon, Tito, Mighty Mike Cee, J.D.L., Busy Bee, Rahiem, Whipper Whip, Master Rob, Gangster Gee, Rodney Cee, Doug E. Fresh, Mr. Freeze, Stevie Dee, Donald Dee, Kurtis Blow, Mercury, Kid West, G-Man, Justice, Trey Dee, Spoonie Gee, Pow Wow, Globe, Kid Creole, Mr. Troy, Cowboy, emcee Barry Bee, Johnny Wa, Kid Vicious, Sweetie Gee, Reggie Reg and Barry B-stro would of battled each other, who ever would of won then would of stepped in to the battle of their life against Mel, Moe and Caz. At the end of the battle only one can be left standing of every last M.C. Who would win only GOD knows. I think at that time if advertised properly it could have sold out Yankee stadium.
As far as D.J.s Theodore, Flash, DJ AJ, Charlie Chase, Africa Islam, Breakout, Master Don, O.C., Crazy Eddie, Barry Bee, Whiz Kid, D.J. Divine, Kendo, D.J. Holiday, Jazzy J and Bambaataa were the best by far. Then there is the Hot to Cool to Vicious Girl m.c.s, Pebbly Poo, Sha-rock and Lisa Lee. It is hard to debate which one was the best cause they were all very good. I hope you find great joy in these tapes as I did cause this is some of the greatest music in the world.
Family I need some help, I am interested in all tapes of this time but right now I hope you can help me with some special tapes such as: Fantastic five first anniversary, full Crash crew tapes, Notorious2, Funk machine, L-Brothers, Salt and Pepper M.C.s (Dot-a-Rock, Whipper Whip that is), Magnificent 7 from the Bronx and Harlem, Funky 4 with Rahiem, Casanova Fly, the Funky 4 with Rahiem battling the Furious 5, Furious 3, Mighty Force, Sound Masters. Also Kool Herc and the Herculoids with Coke La. Rock and Clark Kent. The number of tapes I have right now is 251, but the number is always going up because I am always putting in work trying to get new tapes, I may even have tapes sitting in the house waiting to be assessed. So know that there is always more coming. Also if you have any leads for me to reach people that have tapes and the lead turns into something good, you will be blessed back. To my people, I am from the Grant projects in Harlem. Peace and blessings to you and your family……….One troylsmith21@hotmail.com you can also call me at 212-361-9822 peace, Praise God and God Bless you.

150- The Original Funk 4. 1978. Note:(This is the Original Funky 4. The tape is not of good quality, but this is a hell of good find. All these years I always wondered why they were so revered; now I know why! I am still in search for The 3 m.c.s tape aka the Furious 3, to see who the best was at that time. The reason why I say that is, the Funky 4 with Raheim is unbelievable. The L- Brothers just past the mic around on all the tapes I heard of them so far, The Original Funky 4 put on a hell of a show.

154- Fantastic 5, Rayvon, Zulu Nation jazzy 5. Note: Fantastic 5 at Celebrity Club 1980 Easter Sunday. They are only rocking with two mics.

156- Kool Moe Dee, Dana Dane and Heavy Dee at the Roof Top 1987. Note: (Heavy Dee is on last, he must have been the hottest at the time. Moe freestyles before he goes into his “Go see the Dr.” Dana Dane sounds real good even though he forgets some of his record. Heavy Dee puts on a good show also. The host of the show is very disrespectful.) 60min.

157- Treacherous 3 with D.J. Darrell Cee. (Note: The Treacherous 3 kill it for twenty minutes. I don’t know where they are at, but there are no routines, none of their albums, just freestyle and they are killing it. The other 10 minutes that is left is the rest of the Kevie Kev, Rubie Dee party, at the Ecstasy Garage. Busy Bee, A.J., J.D.L. do their thing.) Side B- Force M.C.s at Broadway International with B Fats and Ronnie Dee. (Note: The Force m.c.s sing a melody from one of the Earth, Wind, and Fire songs. As well as do their famous routines. Stevie Dee is snapping on people again in the crowd. He might have pissed some body off because he is apologizing on this one. Dr. Shock is playing for the first time at Broadway International. B.

Their names are Captain Jack, Spanish Mack, L.T.D., June Bug, Disco Romeo and Junior. D.J. Smalls lets the crowd know that he is the son of Hollywood. From Hollywood I heard some rhymes that Busy Bee used later in 1981. Hollywood has a lot of rhymes, his choicer of records and rhythm is very good. The last ten minutes of side two has Sweet Gee on the mic and June Bug is the d.j. at the Hotel Diplomat, on Easter Sunday 1981. Sweet Gee’s Heart Beat record is out at this time. His performance blew my mind because he was doing Rayvon’s rhymes of Johnny Wa and Rayvon. He killed it.

218- Mikey Dee, Red Love, Labor Day 1986 and 1987 Baisley Park. (Note: D.J. Quest went off cutting with his lips and changing one record while scratching the other! Mikey Dee goes at Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick by putting his on lyrics to La Di Da!)90min.
219- Crash Crew, Busy Bee, Kool Kyle The Star Child and Master Don and The Def Committee at I.S. 201 1980. (Note: Crash Crew get off as soloist and then they do their record High Powered Rap live with out the record backing them up. This is part two of tape 76 because Johnny Wa and Treacherous 3 are in the house as well. Kool Kyle does his thing as he amps the crowd for Busy Bee. Master Don’s emcees kill it. They have an arsenal of rhymes for the crowd. No routines just rhymes. Not sure if Master Don is apart of this show or piece on from another show but they still put on a heck of a show. And at this time Pebble Poo is with B.O. short for Bug Out, as she shouts him out.)60min.
220- Flash and The Furious 4 unknown location. 1978. (Note: I let this brother listen to this tape in the car and with in seconds he got out the car and ran. He ran with excitement because him being a big Flash fan he couldn’t believe that I found this monster jam. I use to call him up before anybody when I got a Flash tape because I knew he was a big fan of Flash and it would really get him amped! I would say, “Start your engine because I got another Flash tape!” I would not care what he was doing this brother would be at my house with in a half hour to listen and then take home. Flash is cutting up just like the legend said he did. He ripped Groove to get down among others.)60min.
221- Flash and The Furious 4 at Bronx Science High school. 1978 (Note: This was one of those jams that had to be over by Midnight. But Mele Mel Mr. Ness and Flash did their thing. Kid Kreole and Cowboy got on the mic but for only a minute. Mel gave out a lot of rhymes. Mel did a rhyme about meeting a girl while he was in cab, which was ironic because on tape 225 Moe Dee says a rhyme also about meeting a girl while he was in a cab. So because of the irony I had to check for some biting! But know one bit! Then on cue Mele does a rhyme of some one biting. Props have to be given to Mr. Ness because he is coming out of his bag with a bunch of rhymes also. Of course he does his Butcher the Baker rhyme, but he then brings out another rhyme called “10 emcee’s trying to say my rhymes!” Another one about buying Dust in Harlem on 123rd street! Mel calls the crews equipment The Gladiator. The crew shouts out The Mercedes Ladies. Flash does his thing as well as incorporates The Beat Box for a minute. The records Sessomatto, Can’t get it, Son of Scorpio, Fat Backin, Congo and Funky Drummer. Of course there are more. )60min.
222- Funk Machine 1979 (Note: One of my favorite Zulu crews. I never understood why Funk Machine broke up, they were a pretty talented group. They do routines as well as freestyle. Then toward the end they get with the crowd. Real good find on this Funk Machine tape. Spoonie Gee was supposed to be on this tape but his part was so short and pieces were missing that I decided not to mess up The Funk Machines flow.)60min
223- Flash and the Furious 5, Mercedes Ladies, The Fantastic 5 and Funky 4 at The T- Connection. (Note: Another great find, Furious 5 starts with, “Where going to a party!” and then they raise the roof. When Mercedes Ladies get on Baby Dee sounded so good I would have bet money Flash was d.j.ing for them. Then Theodore starts the routine with the count down of each member of Fantastic to the numbers of Funky Drummer. Then Funky Four get on and do routines. An all around good show.)60min,
224- Side A Grand Master Caz Show. Side B Early Soul Sonic Force 1979. (Note: I got a couple of short pieces with Caz rocking at different shows that I couldn’t leave in the draw. One has Caz rocking off of Buffalo Girls where he does a rhyme about, “My birth was something like from the bible, where every one was waiting for my arrival!” Another piece has Caz rocking with Biz Mark and Gangster Lou in Long Island. The last one has Caz rocking with Special K in The Ecstasy Garage. Side B of the Soul Sonic Force is one of my greatest finds because I had been looking for it for probably 25 years. Master Ice of The Jazzy 5 fame was originally running with The Soul Sonic Force when this piece was done. The originally Soul Sonic Force is Pow Wow, Hutch Hutch, Mr. Biggs, Lisa Lee, Sundance, Ice Ice, Master Bee and Master Ice. That is right, 8 members. Master Ice killed it when he did a routine with Jazzy Jay where Master Ice would start with, “Jazzy Jay your number one! (Echo.)” Apache plays and then stops. Master Ice says, “every other D.J. is your son!” And Master ice goes on for about a few more verses. To me I always felt this was the best routine of all The Zulu Nation Crews. And the whole side is good work by all involve. Thanks Kev.)60min.
225- Treacherous 3 1978. (Note: Unbelievable! This is a young Moe Dee and L.A. Sunshine. They call them selves The Treacherous 3 with Moe, L.A. and Spoonie Gee. Spoonie is not on this show. Moe says a lot of rhymes I never heard before. I also have to say Moe said one of his rhymes twice in this set. L.A. is not even recognizable because his voice sounds so young. And on the flip side Mike Cee gets on and if I wasn’t told in advance he was on the tape I would not have recognized his voice either. The D.J. for this party is Kev Ski from Manhattanville Projects, who was the D.J. for Mike Cee’s group The Family. The D.J.s at this time for The Treacherous 3 is Crazy Eddie, Reggie Reg, D.J. Lee and Dano Bee Thanks Dutch) 60min.
226- The J.D.L. Welcome Home party 2004. (Note: This is Legendary Saturdays at Willies Lounge in Harlem. This is also a welcome home party for J.D.L. I am not sure if it’s a welcome home from College or The Military. D.J. Imperial Jay Cee and D.J. Holiday take turns on the turntable. When J.D.L. gets on the mic he hasn’t lost a step. When J.D.L. finished Caz said, “I see what you was doing up there!” Special K gets on and he owns the mic, he did work. Real good set by Special K. Funk Master Wiz gets on and he’s on some Suge Knight, Just Ice with his style. Pretty good set also. Kevie Kev, K.G., A.D., Mele Mel and Happy Hap get on. When Tony Tone gets on the mic for a minute Caz informs the crowd for the first time in years the whole Cold Crush is in the house, and Tone lets the crowd know, “anybody that wants to get it can get it right now!” Then Caz says jokingly “and for you young emcees, the first time you use the word gun or bullets in your rhyme you will get disqualified!” Last but not least Grand Master Caz gets on. Once again he owns the mic. When Caz starts his routine, and I not sure how to qualify it, whether it is poetry or straight rhyming but he does a routine about the word Nigger! Then does another routine called “Before”, and ends it with I am The Greatest of all Time!

227- Zulu Nation Happy New Year 1979 into 1980. Bronx River (Note: Jazzy Jay rocks the beat box along with the Flash and Furious 5 beat box plate. Master Bee, Master Ice, Ice Ice, The Dynamite Brothers, Donald Dee, Pow Wow, Mr. Big. Master Bee rhymes about shooting dice, also does a rhyme about other emcees stealing his rhymes and having to deal with the lord. While the party is going on they are selling Chicken, Steak, Hotdogs, Potato Chips, Bacardi, Vodka, soda and Orange juice! I am not sure if this piece is apart of the show but it is Barons birthday as well as The Funky 4’s second anniversary.)
228- 1991 Zulu Nation Anniversary. (Note: Ikey Cee is the host for Bambaataa. The place is packed. After Arthur 4X finishes his routine Bizmark comes on and the crowd goes berserk. All the boroughs including New Jersey represent. Bizmark kills it and out of know where KRS1 comes on and its chaos in the crowd. Cool V is cutting for both Biz and KRS1. Africa Islam, Grand Master Caz, Rock Steady Crew, Brand Nubian and many others are in the house. Grand Puba comes up next and now he is solo from Brand Nubian. He lets the crowd know something happen foul between him and his former group and then he gets on and does his thing. Good show.)60min.
229- Jazzy 5 and The Cold Crush 4 at the Savoy Manor- (Note: This is part two of another tape. Cold Crush starts with their record Weekend then JDL goes into his Hut routine.

Side B is another Jazzy 5 party Master Ice is doing his thing over Make this last forever and Smokey Rocinson’s Tell me tomorrow. Then they all get down one by one to Catch the Beat.
