More of this type of content!! This man is a Westcoast Legend!! No World Class Wrecking Crew! No NWA!! No Snoop!! No Game!! No Kendrick without EGYPTIAN LOVER!! Yes I said it… because it’s true!!

[@PaulBoos]

This takes me back to Midnight Star.... I had my doubts until he layered the standard 808 sound on top... That came together really well. Brilliant!

At the age of 12 in 1989, i started to collect wax. This man, afrika (who later became the biggest disappointment in my life), the movies Breakin and breakin 2, my parents who played disco , my grandfather who bought me all my amazing 80s hip hop albums even if he didn't understand why I liked it but enjoyed me enjoying playing them as well as break dancing, made me the person/dj I am today still playing to the kids but not necessarily that music but jungle which to me comes from the path they made. Thanks for a like of breaks and bass, you pioneers have made the world a better place whether others believe so or not.

[@benm5647]

How did he disappoint you?

[@scottcc98]

Love how the 808 sounds with the vocoder.

Top funky jam! Bravo Egyptian Lover & Brian Ellis!

[@subsanity667]

He’s one of the earliest hip hop artists I heard, “My Beat Goes Boom”,”Egypt Egypt” . Definitely a west coast pioneer along with Ice T ,Uncle Jams Army .

“I Need A Freak” oldschool electro goodness! I know “Sexual Harrasment” originally did that song, but this jam reminded me of it. Bigg up Egyptian Lover! I was trying to program your beats in my 808 back in the day.
