Phat Kev - Wild Style Lesson (vinyl 7 inch single)

The original Wild Style soundtrack is such a landmark that it has spread it's DNA throughout hip-hop ever since. So many artists found inspiration in it, so many producers fished for samples among it's choppy waves. If you haven't played it for a while, it still has the power to surprise - hook after hook that fed into hip-hop history. That countdown from Public Enemy's 'Louder than a Bomb'? The chorus from Cypress Hill's 'A to the K', vocal samples that underpin MF Doom classics and A Tribe Called Quest gems? All here.Phat Kev - aka Kev Luckhurst - teases out some of those notable moments in his superb cut-up from the 2007 reissue. The Brighton-born DJ subjects the Wild Style OST to a classic 'Lesson-style' cut and paste, teasing out some of the most classic moments, taking you on a whirlwind tour of the finest beats and most indelible rhymes. Here you'll find 'Stoop Rap' interwoven with 'Basketball Throwdown' and 'Fantastic Freaks at the Dixie'.The temptation to overcomplicate matters is wisely resisted - Phat Kev let's the guitar of Chris Stein, the drums of Lenny Ferrari and the lyrics of legends such as Grand Master Caz, Busy Bee and Rammellzee shine in their own right. Available for the first time on 7", this is an outstanding tribute to one of the key records in hip-hop history.
