	Funky Four Plus One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Funky Four Plus One (sometimes written Funky 4 + 1) was an early hip hop group.
		Note though that Jazzy Jeff from Funky Four Plus One is not the same artist as DJ Jazzy Jeff from DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.
		In fact when Jazzy Jeff was setting up a solo career after Funky Four Plus One split up around 1983 he sued Jive Records (who had subsequently signed DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince) and won a lawsuit against over the rights to the name Jazzy Jeff.

	FUNKY FO PLUS ONE
		Originally they were just the Funky Four - Keith Keith, Sha Rock, KK Rockwell and Rahiem (later of Furious 5 fame).
		The Funky Four are actually another crew that is full of firsts ; for instance the Funky Four plus one were the first mixed gender crew, the first Emcees to perform on Saturday Night Live (in 80 opening up for Blondie), and first with two djs - Breakout and Baron.
		Funky 4 are indeed an important brick in the foundation of Hip Hop.

	Various In The Beginning...Classic Hip Hop Joints CD
		There was no questioning the block cred of Funky Four Plus One — they’d been out on the streets since the mid-70s, working their own sound system and building up a real following in the Bronx.
		Their first record on the Enjoy label sold respectably, but their switch to Sugar Hill at the end of 1980 helped establish them as a serious recording act and also showed that the new label was the real home of this new style.
		While their story is a messy one, with members changing as success arrived, Funky Four Plus One had several important members — MC Sha Rock was one of the earliest rap MCs, Jazzy Jeff went on to cut some nice tunes for Jive in the mid-80s, and Raheim became one of the Furious Five.

		One of those perfect old school Sugarhill records that had a big roots impact without the wider world noticing it, this tune was namechecked by De La Soul and respected by everyone else who got into the music circa 1981.
		A typically unfussy 45 King beat sounds the death knell of electro and the supremacy of hip-hop; it has a funky purity that sounds all organic rather than electronic.
		DJ Mark The 45 King, named because he cut-up funky tunes on 7” like others cut on 33, really had it going on, working with Latifah, Lakim Shabazz and a heap of other talents.

	Treacherous Three - Biography - AOL Music
		One of the first rap groups on record, Treacherous Three recorded for both of the major old school labels (Enjoy, Sugar Hill) and introduced a faster style of rapping (dubbed speed rapping) that influenced the later course of hip-hop.
		Just after the group began performing in 1978, they learned that another friend, Spoonie Gee, who'd recently recorded his first single, was about to record again for Bobby Robinson's Enjoy label.
		One of their live jams with Funky Four Plus One appeared on a long-playing 12" titled Live Convention '81 (Disco Wax), and the trio made the jump to the screen with 1984's Beat Street, in which they performed "Xmas Rap" with the debut of Doug E. Fresh, but broke up soon after.

		Even if back in 1979 Flash was not using in the studio the rapid-fire mixes that he asserts were his invention, he was definitely attracting a ton of attention in live shows at Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom.

	Robert Christgau: Album: The Great Rap Hits (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This expedient collection is why Sugarhill changed over from fabrications like Sequence and the Sugarhill Gang itself to street-dance kids like the Funky Four Plus One, half of whose Enjoy debut, "Rappin and Rocking the House," brings up side one.
		The slight shift of gears is almost startling--the real party people stay a split second ahead of the beat, while such creatures of the sixteen-track as Super Wolf and Lady B. lag cunningly or uncomprehendingly behind.
		Still, not a one of these six cuts is without charm--by mining the dozens and God knows what else for boasts, insults, and vernacular imagery, Sylvia Inc. could convince anybody but party people that rap is really about words.

		The first rappers (called MCs) would rap over funk, reggae, dub, soul, and disco beats and would hold spontaneous rhyming battles that were meant to verbally attack an opponent called "freestyles" (freestyling and flowing were words used to describe the impromptu vocal delivery).
		Artists that laid the template for such aggressive spoken word set to a funky beat include James Brown, Gil Scott-Heron, The Watts Prophets, and The Last Poets.
		Funky Four Plus One's "That's the Joint" becomes a seminal all-time classic record and the first Hip Hop group to perform on national television (Saturday Night Live).

		If Rhino's massive five-disc summation of the crucial old-school label Sugar Hill makes you cringe, this single-disc set is a much better distillation of the label (and the period) than much else out there.
		It covers the three tracks that are hands-down classics -- "Rapper'S Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang plus "The Message" and "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five.
		In addition, there are at least a half-dozen minor standouts like the Sugarhill Gang's "8th Wonder" and "Apache," the Funky 4 + 1's "That'S The Joint," Kevie Kev's "All Night Long (Waterbed)," and Grandmaster Flash's "Scorpio" and "New York New York." ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
