WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
SOUNDTRACK: ‘Beat Street II’ LP (Atlantic 780 158-1)
Hottest hip hop hits seem to be the film’s eagerly awaited climactic excitingly violent densely juddering 117bpm ROCKERS REVENGE ‘Battle Cry’, good juddered ‘n scratched 108-0bpm instrumental JAZZY JAY ‘Son Of Beat Street‘, and irritatingly bleeped realistically bitter social commentary 104bpm THE TREACHEROUS THREE ‘Santa’s Rap‘ (more about muggers than Santa).
SIDE A: SON OF BEAT STREET
