[@albertseanchen7929]

That’s awesome that you still have the album 💿👍🏾. I bought it back in the day, but got rid of my albums and tapes in favor of cd’s. So I never replaced this until now (I saved this thread 🧵).

[@davidcheung7789]

I was 15 and still have it as you.

[@albertseanchen7929]

Used to have this on vinyl back in the day. Definitely missed listening to it over the years. Love the solo by Melle Mel 👍🏾👏🏾. Thanks for uploading. Will save this.

This Album Changed My Life!

[@TherealDJEmz]

I second that

[@ricardomoreira1262]

Mine too. I was a rapper in the early 80s in the Hunting Park section of North Philly. I learned so much from this track on how to rock a crowd and be at one with the deejay (without hiccups).

[@mikecapeles2814]

This live joint changed my life as well because it was the raw best hip-hop growing up and I witnessed all of it up front at ROLLERDOME HAMDEN CT & NEW HAVEN CT COLISEUM 82.......MELLE MEL still my #1 EMCEE

[@kiwanishinton9410]

Moms bought me doubles true B’Boys are products of their mother’s and her record collection !!

If you dont know him then youz not a B’Boy !!!! Son !!! It ain’t hip hop “ the term is B’Boy’s and B’Girls …

[@neftalifigueroa0866]

What's the name of the last break playing?

[@DarrylFortune]

Isaac Hayes - The Breakthrough (Truck Turner Movie Soundtrack)

[@neftalifigueroa0866]

@DarrylFortune Thanks. Had the song the whole time and it didn't occur to me that it was sped up.

[@DarrylFortune]

This record is also on Break Beats/Street Beats Vol. 4 (If you can't find the Truck Turner Soundtrack record)

[@abdal-haqq1688]

Can't think of the name of the break beat AJ is cuttin'....

[@albertseanchen7929]

The name of the sample is “Breakthrough” by Isaac Hayes. What’s significant about it is the beat is really slow. To get the effect you have to play on your turntable at 45 speed instead of 33 for a standard LP.

[@abdal-haqq1688]

@@albertseanchen7929 nice!

[@albertseanchen7929]

@@abdal-haqq1688 it’s a great break 👍🏾.

[@abdal-haqq1688]

@@albertseanchen7929 was that on Disco Breaks vol.1?

[@albertseanchen7929]

@@abdal-haqq1688 it’s not on Disco Breaks Volume 1, although I don’t remember exactly 🤔 what was on it, since its been over 40 years 😅. The album 💿 you want is Truck Turner (soundtrack from the movie 🍿, starring Issac Hayes). First track off that album is called Breakthrough which is the jam you want. The break part is at the beginning, but remember…you’ll need to play the turntable at 45rpm’s instead of 33 or it’ll sound slow. I attempted to post a link to Amazon for the album, but after it posted I could not see my reply, leading me to think 🤔 it got deleted. So if you have the link in this thread 🧵 two additional times you’ll have to forgive me 😅.

[@markfrisby5429]

I bought this jawn with my lunch money

[@merchantsmithimages]

"SHÀA!!!! ROCK!!!! ROCK!!!! ROCK!!!"

[@CS-mo7xp]

who's the mc at 10:00 ? "spice d'?

[@albertseanchen7929]

I think she said “Spicey”. Back then in ‘81 the only two female mc’s I’d heard of were Sha Rock and Lisa Lee. So never heard of her 🤷🏽‍♂️.

[@CS-mo7xp]

@@albertseanchen7929 cool. I've not heard of Lisa Lee... ok thanks for the reply

[@albertseanchen7929]

@@CS-mo7xp if you’re familiar with the breakdance hip hop movie Beat Street from ‘84 Lisa Lee, Sha-Rock and Debbie D have a performance together as US Girls. It takes place during the house party in the South Bronx just before Beat Street and the Bronx Rockers get into “disagreement”.

[@CS-mo7xp]

@@albertseanchen7929 aha, I will check out that movie. the name rings a bell... thanks again!

[@albertseanchen7929]

@@CS-mo7xp it will when you see it. KZbin has it for free with ads. Enjoy 😉👍🏾!

[@kelvindixon7257]

If I’m not mistaken it was on cassette first. Definitely changed my life!
