Synopsis

Product Description

T La Rock, the master of the metaphor and complex rhyme design has reigned as the Lyrical King for over two decades. Inspiring a countless number of your favorite emcees from Kool G. Rap to Kool Keith, T La Rock pioneered lyrical complexity during Hip-Hop biggest growth spurt: the early 80s. This man?s formidable style gave birth to many intellectual lyricists. Teamed up with super-producers Kurtis Mantronik and the legendary Rick Rubin, T La Rock has every right to claim the throne. ?It?s Yours? might be the classic most will look back to, but this full-length album is chock-full of hits and boasts 5 bonus ?12-inch only? remixes as well. T La Rock is the Lyrical King, now give the man his crown.

CD Reviews

"The lyrical King, from Da' Boogie Down Bronx!!"

"Old Skool" Ran-Dee | "Da' Bronx" | 08/23/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Commentating, illustrating/ description given, adjective expert..." were the eye opening, jaw dropping, opening words on the ground-breaking, mega Hip-Hop classic, hit-single "IT'S YOURS". Although the lyrics on "IT'S YOURS" were written by his older brother "SPECIAL K" (member of the Treacherous 3), T La Rock would later team up with producer extraordinaire and master of the beat "MANTRONIK", and put out a string of classic hits through out the mid '80's. T is better known for his superb lyrical eloquence and metaphor mechanics (and giving birth to LL's original style of rap. Just listen to his first album closely). Super Rapper T La Rock has NEVER recorded a wack record. All his joints are "Funky Fresh"! This CD contains nothing less than classic, raw, B-Boy material. This is Hip-Hop in it's purest , rawest form. In T La Rock's own words "strong lyrics, no gimmicks, no yes, yes, ya'll!""

Awesome!!
