WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
3-D ‘Original Styling’ (CityBeat CBLP 3F)
Chatting Philadelphia rappers on a juddery album with the “we hold these truths to be self evident”-scratching 0-101⅙-0bpm ‘Increase The Peace’, James Brown grunted churning (0-)116bpm ‘Straight Up‘, attractively lurching (0-)114½bpm ‘Who Is It?‘, jiggly 98½bpm ‘Believe Dat‘, urgent 110½-0bpm ‘Improvin-n-Groovin‘, bumpily weaving 91⅚-0bpm ‘Crushin’-n-Bussin’ (Remix)‘, Jamaican accented 104⅚bpm ‘Original Styling‘, jerkily jogging 100⅓-0bpm ‘Joe Familiar‘, jolting dry jittery 103⅓bpm ‘Greatest Man Alive‘, while a bonus twin-packed old 12 inch has (both James Brown based) the 108⅓bpm ‘Giddy Up’ and 110⅚bpm ‘Once More (You Hear The Dope Stuff)’.
