| I
really don't know the history behind Hostyle other than Kaos
and DJ Homicide were another late 80s Atlantic group that seemed
to have disappeared into obscurity after one release. This album
is sort of all over the place as far as style goes. There's
the standard love track Just A Dream Away and your basic
House cut In The House. There's even an "educational"
cut on farting, Oops, There Goes Another, complete with
ass squirts and toilet flushes. Getting past that drek, Get
Off does offer a few hard hitting tunes like Keep On
Moving, Hardcore and the smoker featured here, It's
Our Turn. Sure the Incredible Bongo Band's Apache
was a sure shot looped up on any track at the time, but Hostyle
came with raw lyrics to take the cut to the next level. DJ Homicide
displayed some nice scratching skills as well. A copy is probably
waiting for your dollar in the cheap bins... |
