I thought there was no way I’d enjoy this late 80’s dance album, but I was surprised. When I heard the opening notes of Buffalo Stance I thought oh this is just Roxanne Shante singing over Afrika Bambaattaa beats, which intrigued me. This soon changed when the album shifted to a quirky inventive rap/dance record. My favorite is Inna City Mama with a totally left field piano solo that would feel home on a Billy Joel album. There’s call and response, drum freak outs, and old school scratching. A favorite is New Generation, a funky horn filled manifesto. Wonderful.
