"Buffalo Gals Back to Skool--

British music impresario Malcolm McLaren is most famous (or infamous?) for his managing and promotion of the pioneering Sex Pistols punk-rock band during their meteoric rise and fall during the 1970's. At the beginning of the Reagan era, however, he found himself dabbling in another underground music culture with roots in New York City--hip-hop. Buffalo Gals: Back to Skool compiles virtually all of the hip-hop related recordings that McClaren had a hand in producing, primarily with the World Famous Supreme Team: A duo of part-time 3-card-Monte hustlers, the Supreme Team also hosted a community-access radio show in New York where they showcased their collaborations with McLaren. "Buffalo Girls", "She's Looking Like a Hobo", "Hey DJ" and several more good-times party songs all show up here (largely culled from 12-inch recordings, as most of the material never surfaced on a proper album).



Recorded before sampling technology had become common, the original songs feature mostly live instrumentation from session musicians. Lyrically, the rhymes are much more simplistic compared to today, but it is also free of profanity and gangster themes. The Supreme Team never hit the mainstream, but was an important outfit to know in the pre-Run DMC era of rap.



Also collected with the archival songs are new cover recordings, including legendary hip-hop musicians like De La Soul, Rakim and KRS-One. Interspersed between all the songs are interviews with McLaren himself, where he candidly talks about his encounters with hip-hop's early figures and his attempts to help the music get a foothold in the industry. Between the old and new songs, this is the definitive compilation/tribute to an unlikely early champion of hip-hop music.
