MADPLANET - 120 LESSONS

This is an early song by Gang Starr; "So What", as played on Magnus Johnstone's "Lecco's Lemma" Boston rap radio show in 1986. Vocals by Keithy E (Keith Elam), production by Beatmaster Jay (John Johnson). Damo D-Ski and/or Mike Dee may have been involved in this recording as well, but that was never my impression. I just wanted to upload this here, since I didn't find any other instances of it anywhere else on the internet. I suppose it's included somewhere within cassette side rips on the Massachusetts Hip-Hop Archive, but this seems simpler and more direct.

It is legitimately one of my favorite rap songs I was listening to back then, on record or not. It features rapping, singing, drum programming, bass, keyboards, vocoder, and what sounds like some primitive sampling... It is a PRODUCED song, and was a big influence on 13/14-year-old me as I began to produce my own music. Back when Gang Starr appeared at Tower Records on Newbury Street for their induction into the Walk Of Fame, my friend and I drove back and forth in front of the store blasting this and "Cold Cold World" and "Disa Disa", in an effort to... I dunno, be funny and clever, maybe catch the ear of other fans who remembered Lecco's Lemma, or perhaps even to bring a smile to Keith's face if he heard his songs go by.

I do not in any way own the rights to this recording, and if anyone wants me to take it down please contact me and I will remove it.
