 Spoonie Gee: Godfather of Hip-Hop: Pitchfork Record Review
Robert Christgau said it best-- Spoonie Gee's groove is so old it's new, and Spoonie Gee's groove is plenty old-- the self-appointed Godfather cut his first track in 1979, and got his big break as a result of being the godson of the founders of both Enjoy Records and Sugarhill Records.
Spoonie himself rightfully claims this track is one of the first attemps to pitch woo yes-yes-y'all style.
Spoonie proves he can run at different speeds, though-- "The Big Beat" is more prescient of the cool and confident 60-minute-man approach LL and his type of guys perfected.

The nephew of Sylvia Robinson (Sugarhill Records), Spoonie Gee debuted in 1979 at age 16 with the classic single "Spoonin' Rap." The next year, he appeared with the Treacherous Three on "New Rap Language" and dropped the solo joint "Love Rap," backed by only drums and congas, on the flip-side.

 Sequence -- Bold Soul Sisters
Rap music was directly born out of the disco movement, and the ladies' hot 12"s were enjoyed by anyone who was at a hip discotheque or basement party in the early 80s.
Their style was as funky as their male labelmates the Sugarhill Gang, Spoonie Gee, or Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, for example.
Despite the success these ladies had in the midst of the very male-dominated beginnings of rap music, and despite the road this group paved for later female rap artists like Salt-N-Pepa and Queen Latifah, the Sequence remain completely forgotten in the history of hip hop.
