Grab It & Cars With The Boom worth buying this old school

"Wow, I can't believe I ran across this classic album on Amazon. I still have the tape, and I have busted it out every couple of years to listen to it. In fact, I've sang the lyrics to Grab It (You've got ta grab that thing when it's up in your face, cuz if you don't he'll go another place...) & Cars With The Boom (We like the cars, the cars that go boom, we're Tigra & Bunny and we like the boom...) to people at work, who thought I was crazy and had lost my mind. I had no idea that they had put out two albums after this one. I only wish I had known so that I could have bought them too, whether or not they were as good as this one."

It's a bubble-gum-chewing pop recording, nothing more.

"Yiannis, lighten up. Rap has come a very long way since L'Trimm produced "Grab It", but even then they weren't really considered rap as much as they were considered just plain cute one-hit-wonders. However, I was a teenager at the time, so I can tell you that NO ONE back then took "Grab It" very seriously.It was during that time that car stereos were really coming into play---especially the bass aspect of it. Everyone was converting their back seats into speaker casings and everyone was trying to be the one with the best sounding bass."Grab It" was just a fun tape that everyone popped in & blared while cruising the strip. (Some people had CD players, but not as many as today.) No one even really listened to the words--we all just paid attention to the bass.I give it 5 stars because back then it was one of the best tapes to put out the "boom"."

"This album was badd, In it's day. One of the girls were from Chicago and the other a New Yorker and that was when every rap group (female) was copping salt & pepas style. However they had one big hit, "The Cars That Go Boom" I remember begging my then boyfriend to buy me the tape formy birthday and I still have it. Admittdely it sounds mad dated now,, but it brings back good memories. Rap has come a looooooooong way!"
