Ragga Hip-Hop
At the time, rushing rave-kid, I was heavily into the Ragga/Hip-Hop crossover, which was one of the more extreme manifestations of Negritude in the USA. There were all sorts of traces: Shabba Ranks with KRS One, the (via Eric Clapton) sampling of EPMD's "Strictly Business", Busta Rhymes's patois digressions (can't imagine him doing this these days), Phife Dawg's rhymes on A Tribe Called Quest's "Buggin Out", Chubb Rock's "Just the Two of Us" etc etc. However, as with the slightly spotty Mad Lion tunes, often it was an idea which worked better on paper. These three records though (the Fu-Schnicken's even graced with a Steely and Cleevie remix) are excellent.
