WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
WHODINI: ‘The Whodini Electro Rap EP Volume Two‘ (Jive JIVE T 84)
Spearheading with Run-DMC and the Fat Boys the USA’s surprisingly late greatest penetration yet by hip hop (thanks to touring with the Swatch-sponsored New York Fresh Festival which has given each huge hit LPs), the Willesden-recorded rappers’ latest 12in EP has their US smash 96⅓bpm anthemic message ‘Friends’ which deserves to have wide appeal, monotonous grooving 101bpm ‘Freaks Come Out At Night‘, hypnotic 106½bpm ‘Five Minutes Of Funk‘, ‘Magic’s Wand’-based 108⅔bpm ‘Grandmaster Dee’s Haunted Scratch‘, all apart from the latter also being on the LP ‘Escape’ (HIP 16) with the very clean sparse 101bpm ‘Big Mouth‘, 114bpm title track, 0-108½bpm ‘We Are Whodini‘, instrumental 107bpm ‘Featuring Grandmaster Dee‘ and 108bpm ‘Out Of Control‘.
