Stone Cold Rhymin'
(1989)
more music like this
by
Young MC
Young MC wasn't given props at the time and he wasn't respected in the years following the release of his debut Stone Cold Rhymin', largely because he worked entirely in the pop-rap/crossover vein. All the same, that's what's great about his debut, since it's exceptionally clever and effective, a wonderful combination of deft rhymes and skillful ...

Millennium Hip-Hop Party
(1999)

by
Various Artists
One of Rhino's main gifts as a record label is that they know a good gimmick when they see it, and there's no better gimmick than the millennium. Hence, their series of Millennium Party albums. None of the Millennium discs demonstrate much imagination, but they do make a good argument that sometimes it's better to stick to the basics. For instance ...

Brainstorm
(1991)
more music like this
by
Young MC
In hardcore hip-hop circles, more commercial rappers generally aren't thought of as having a lot of technique -- the consensus is that they're getting over on their pop or R&B appeal rather than their rapping skills. After "Bust a Move" became a major hit in the R&B market, Young MC was viewed suspiciously by b-boys. But make no mistake: the clean ...

What's the Flavor?
(1993)

by
Young MC
On his third album, Young MC was trying to recapture his audience, adding elements of jazz-rap -- thanks to the production of A Tribe Called Quest's Ali Shaheed -- to his pop-oriented style. While it didn't rocket him back to the top of the charts, the results were agreeable and likeable, with only a couple of embarrassing tracks. Stephen Thomas ...

Old School Rap Party, Vol. 1

more music like this
by
Various Artists
Thump's Old School Rap Party discs are another way to recycle a bunch of popular songs that were compiled too frequently to begin with. This series tends to focus on late-'80s and early-'90s singles that crossed over into the mainstream, and everything is most certainly party oriented. For better or worse (mostly worse), some inclusions merely ...

It's hard to tell what makes Instant Party Disc: Extra Strength more powerful than its sibling Instant Party Disc: Regular Strength. It can't just be the music, because "Hooked On Swing," "Surfin' USA," "Caribbean Queen," "Banana Boat (Day-O)," "China Grove," "I'm Too Sexy" and Club Nouveau's "Lean On Me" aren't 101-proof pop/rock.
