32 years today House Party debuted in theatres. This was the big scene. Switch!

The song is Full Force's 'Ain't My Type of Hype'

Listen to that bass yelp.

Nautilus by Bob James

Another one of the most sampled tracks in hip hop history. So many elements to it as well. My favorite part 3:34-3:52 which Run DMC sampled for this track

Bernard Edwards basslines are just sublime.

Such a talented family. MJ could get a crowd moving like no other. Greatest entertainer this planet has ever seen.

A hip hop banger from 1992. This tune reminds me so much of university days.

This one too. Love that jazz rap fusion so prevalent in the early 90's

The Meters appreciation thread. Huge influence on hip hop.

This one is probably my favorite of theirs

This one is probably the most influential. Sampled on 71 records.

Likely their most underrated track. This is blues, funk and gospel all rolled up in one.

My goodness talk about a crazy talented collective on this record!

One of the most defining tracks of the decade. And it contained but 4 words - do, it, the, hustle.

Such a great Sunday listening type of tune.

People call me crazy for this but this is my favorite Stevie track.

The musical genius of Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards was on full display with Sister Sledge's We Are Family album. Every track is

I know I posted this trailer before but I see it's been nominated for a best documentary film Oscar.

It's a must see if you love black music. If you can't find it anywhere else the full film is available on YouTube.
