Love Hip-House and feel it offers so much more than Hip-Hop which I always find a bit drab and lacking.
This has loads of great piano in it as well as some fine rapping.
The only thing that hasn't aged well is probably the song title.
However, Tony Scott did some cracking tracks and this is certainly one of them.
Tony Scott - Gangster Boogie
(Remix-Version)
Salt 'N' Pepa were known for Hip-Hop, but I'd class this as very much more Hip-House due to the great Ben Liebrand remix.
Some great piano throughout, some great rapping from S 'N' P and just a great Hip-House groove.
Very tasty indeed!
Gotta be you and only you!
Salt 'N' Pepa - Expression
(Ben Liebrand's Hard Ecu Mix)
I guess this is probably more Hip-House which is another genre that I love.
I was never a fan of Hip-Hop, but Hip-House now that is so much better.
This is fierce, fiery and has some great rapping from Kool Rock Steady.
Fast Eddie on the mix to add that quality house sound and some great scratching.
Corking!
Hip-House.
Tyree featuring Kool Rock Steady – Turn Up The Bass
(Scratch It Up Mix)
This was way back in 1991 many years before Tupac's version.
This version couldn't get the sample cleared and hence it was never as big as it should have been.
I used to love MC Buzz B who was a superb talent and should have been much bigger.
Maybe if the sample had been cleared he may have been.
We will never know!
"That's just the way it is!"
Superb track though which still sounds amazing 35 years on!
MC Buzz B - Never Change
(Original Promo Mix)
This one if from 1995 and fits the Hip-House genre, which was typically late 80/early 90's.
Plenty going on in this track to keep it interesting from start to finish.
Enjoy!
2 In A Room - Ahora Es (Now Is The Time)
(Bottom Dollar Club Mix)
It has a bit of everything sort of hip-house in it's style with lots of attitude, vibe and a few well placed expletives.
It's got a real catchy groove and just flows really well.
It'd be great to have more Hip-House style tracks like this, as it was such a cool genre.
You've got it bitch!
79.5 - B.D.F.Q
(FSQ Remix)
This is the same Raze (aka Vaughan Mason) as "Break For Love" the all time house classic.
Different vocalists this time, including some great rapping from Doug Lazy.
It's a slick piece of hip house with some great piano.
All I want it the bass, yeah!
Raze - Bass Power
(Club)
Love Hip-House which was one of the best genre's and very surprised it hasn't resurfaced.
Clever use of the Talking Heads sample.
The Acid Drop remix is also very good and has a wicked 303 kick.
"All systems go"
KC Flightt - Planet E

In contrast I hate Hip-Hop, which to me was always commercial and trashy.
Here's a great Hip-House track from 1991.
Great groove, great rap, great vibe and laced with some delicious piano.
Created by Lee Marrow (aka Francesco Bontempi), the great Italo House producer, remixer and DJ.
What do you say, come on!
Jam Jam – Everybody
(Watcha Gonna Do)
This was a big track back int'day and still sounds great.
Love the piano in this also especially the bit at the end.
All together "Let there be House"
Enjoy!
Deskee - Let There Be House
(West Bam Mix)
This one was big in 1992 and was quite commercial, but this superb remix kept it very real.
The rap is on the more commercial side of Hip-House, but still pretty slick.
Enjoy!
Black Sheep – Strobelite Honey
(Hot Mix)
In fact I loved most of the Hip-House type tracks and Daisy Dee's rapping on this is quality.
I can't stand Hip-Hop, but Hip-House oh yes!
This was a big Sasha track back int'day and always went down a treat (although he typically played the dub version), although I actually prefer the 12" Extended Club version.
Pump it Up!
Daisy Dee – Pump It Up All The Way
