I remember "We Are The MC's and On The Radio" as young teen. These 2 songs are the joints that introduced me to the Crash Crew.

Their first single should've secured them a major label contract alone...that record was so powerful....too bad one of those A&R's never came into the streets and saw the impact that joint had on the inner-city youths...if you couldn't recite all the rhymes (which many of us could) you definitely would recite the singing part straight though to "Debbie deb rock the house"💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

For the record, the PAL (Police Athletic League) was not a club, but a community based center, like the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, etc. These places were common place, for kids to go enjoy Hip-Hop, in a safe(r) environment. They catered to kids, and teens. I went to these parties, and would partake in the break dance competitions, and I remember getting fresh, on Easter and posting up, checking out the fly girls, in the place. My youth, in The Bronx was dope!

FINALLY!! Someone giving the Crash Crew their flowers!! I always thought of them as THE unsung ole school rap crew...Hi Power Rap was a BANGER!!! "When you walkin down the street with your box in your hand..." That long verse in Hi Power Rap has to be one of the BEST verses EVER! Definitely better than Flash and the F5's studio band version in my opinion...using the original beat made it more hood, more street...as a young dj I couldn't stand Freedom although it definitely got bodies on the floor. Thanks for recognizing the Crash Crew...they will always be one of my favorites and wish they got more props. PEACE - PookSki - #SOUNDVIEW #WATSONAVE

Lol...I thought so too....the 3 best get up and dance joints were (in my opinion) high power rap, freedom & Dr. Rock & the force MC's feat. See divine....and the last one wasn't even a record but dope... especially doc"s scratching💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

I was listening to High Powered Rapp by Crash Crew on my way home from the gym this morning and realized that they were actually rapping over the original recording of Freedom.... Then I thought to myself...wouldn't High Powered Rapp (1980) trump Grandmaster Flash Adventures on the Wheels of Steel (1981) as being the first recording of an actual record on a record? but wasn't sure of the actual release dates..So i came here to get the scoop. Even though they spliced it with tape and it was not done with two turntables..Shouldn't they form a technical aspect at least get credit??? Just sayin...

Anybody know what's up with the Bay City label for the "On the Radio" 12"? That always confused me. I think I may even have a sealed copy and it has a Sugar Hill sleeve but a Bay City label.

JamBurgler Bay City was a subsidiary. Likely some kind of tax write off. Sylvia had at least 10 label names that she used
