	Entertainment Weekly \| Holiday Gift Guide \| Music \| 12-11-98
		This four-disc set tracing the history of the New York rap/dance label Tommy Boy conjures up that precise moment in the early '80s when singles by Afrika Bambaataa and the Jonzun Crew, among others, introduced urban musicheads to gritty space-funk odysseys.
		Unlike its prime competitor, Def Jam Records, Tommy Boy had multiple personalities; the wan balladry of Force M.D.'s and the Duran Duranisms of the Information Society now seem to come from another, blander universe.
		But like Def Jam, Tommy Boy fought its way through creative droughts to blast back in the '90s with hits by Coolio and Naughty by Nature, which were harder and deeper than anything the label had offered before.

		They said, “Oh yeah, we were at a party in the Bronx last night and we got a bunch of records from there and brought them down.” And I was taping this thing, with half an ear.
		We each got a complete catalog of Tommy Boy Records, which was like twenty records, [laughs] a cheap polo shirt, fifty bucks, and we needed some reel-to-reel tapes to send this out to radio stations so they can play it as part of the prize.
		Since this was the first record, I had done without [Double Dee], I had to find another engineer in another studio that’s set up the way I needed to be set-up, who can work with me. So, in the process, I thought about what I was going to do.

	Arthur Baker - Biography - AOL Music
		Arthur Baker was among the most visible and widely imitated of the early hip-hop producers, masterminding breakthrough experiments with tape edits and synthetic beats before crossing over to introduce the art of remixing into the pop mainstream.
		Baker's success at Tommy Boy led to the formation of his own label, Streetwise Records; after helming underground club hits for Rockers Revenge, Nairobi, and Citispeak, he signed a then-unknown New Edition, issuing the teen vocal group's debut single, "Candy Girl," in 1982.
		Remixes of the track also helped pioneer the remix aesthetic throughout the rock mainstream, and soon Baker was producing material for Naked Eyes, Face to Face, Diana Ross, Jeff Beck, and others.

	De La Soul :: Buhloone Mindstate :: Tommy Boy Records
		The line, like the album as a whole and absolute product, was at its core a gigantic middle finger to all the bullshit that came with major label and music industry politics (making it in many ways a quintessential and path-making 'underground' release, despite its Tommy Boy backed distribution).
		It is thus both a profound artistic statement and a profoundly dope record.
		We need to get back to a culture where the mantra "it might blow up but it won't go pop" is the artistic statement of choice, rather than "get rich or die tryin'." More than anything, we need to get back to (or rather create) a system that rewards rather than discourages genius.
