Captain Rapp ‘Bad Times (I Can’t Stand It)’ (greg wilson edit)

120 bpm

Previously limited vinyl only 2009.

With all the talk of recession during late 2008 through 2009, Captain Rapp’s ‘Bad Times’ kept running through my head, prompting the idea to put together this edit, which would be pressed  to limited vinyl as part of the Ruff Edits series, appearing as ‘Ruff Rapp’ on Ruff Edits #3. Now, with the news reporters back to warning us of a rocky road ahead, with all the social problems this might entail, it provides a topical opportunity to share it here.

Taking its lyrical cue from 1982’s seminal recording, ‘The Message’ by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, ‘Bad Times (I Can’t Stand It)’ was a socially conscious rap that explored the issues of the day, topped off with the raw pleas of singer Kimberley Ball. Just as important though was the killer Electro-Funk groove that set the more discerning of dancefloors alight. A proper underground tune that was huge for me during the latter part of ’83 , topping my floorfillers list not long before I called time on my DJ career:

This was very much a track you’d only hear if you were tuned into what was going on in the black clubs over here. Like the majority of tracks I played, I’d picked it up on import from Spin Inn, the essential shop in the North for Soul, Funk, Disco, Electro-Funk and Jazz (the elements that made up a specialist night circa ‘83). As I've said before, if you didn't buy your records at an import stockist like Spin Inn, you couldn't seriously aspire to be a black music specialist, and Spin Inn was right up there, along with an elite of shops, like Groove and City Sounds in London, shaping the course of UK club culture via the constant stream of dance music, great, good and not so good, they brought into this country.

Whereas New York was the centre of the dance universe at this time, its hybrid groove and technological experimentation pushing the music ever forward, ‘Bad Times’ was a West Coast, not East Coast  track, released on a small label out of Los Angeles called Saturn, with unknowns, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (along with Rich Cason), credited as arranging and performing (Jam & Lewis would, of course, become the most successful dance / R&B producers of the mid-late 80’s). Captain Rapp himself was Larry Earl Glenn, whose 1981 ‘Gigalo Rapp’ (by Disco Daddy & Captain Rapp) has its place in history as the first West Coast Rap 12”. 

‘Bad Times’ would be issued in the UK on the Becket label, but failed to make any real impact beyond the black scene. As such, it’s always retained its underground credentials, and a place in the hearts of black music enthusiasts with a fond ear for the early 80’s.

SOS Band - Just the Way You Like It (Project Tempo Re-Edit)

The SOS Band | No One's Gonna Love You (Change Request Extended Fantasy)

Having written for The SOS Band before and freshly coming off being fired from The Time—by The Purple One himself, Mister Jamie Starr—Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis officially started their full-time music production careers with this song and this album at Master Sound Studio for Tabu Records in Atlanta.

A favorite single off The SOS Band’s fifth studio album—1984s Just The Way You Like It—“No One's Gonna Love You”, much like this entire record, was written and produced by the Dynamic Duo from Minneapolis. 

Peaking at just #6 on the Billboard R&B Albums charts, this song would continue to see Jam & Lewis developing their early takes of drum machines in popular R&B, this time featuring the brand new Roland TR-808. 

Students of Prince, but graduates of The Minneapolis Sound, this would be one of the first productions of theirs that would go on to heavily influence groups like Loose Ends and 52nd Street as well as being sampled 49 times by artists such as Tupac, New Edition, Snoop Dogg, Foxy Brown, Maxwell, and A$AP Rocky among many others. 

I have always loved this song and like most of their productions from this era, their arrangements and formatting were hyper-focused on developing their quick succession of sections that could all be hooks, a benchmark of the Jam & Lewis songwriting aesthetic. 

Forging a new rhythm section here composed in the zeitgeist, I added all the Minneapolis Sound drum favorites for the era in the mix—from The Oberheim DMX/DX and LinnDrumm LM-1/LM-2 to the standard Roland TR-808 percussion ensemble as well as The Sequential Circuits Drumtraks (which wasn’t used on this album as it was released in the same year of it)—to put some “Get Right” on this 25-year old recording. 

Extending the instrumental sections and symmetrically repeating the hook, I made the longest version of this there is, clocking in at just over 10mins. Saturating the polyrhythmic additional programming, this modern version is now armed for Dance Floor Destruction or Dinner & A Movie Devastation.
