CHOCO The New Harlem Sound appreciation

I know some people can't stand this record - my gf for one - but i can't help loving it. Many of you will disagree, but I honestly think "My Little Donkey" & "I Hope It Rains Coffee" are some genius hip hop music right there. I guess the "You'll Like It Too"-break combined with a Spanish children's song equals genius to me then. I almost find it hard to believe it was produced in 1986, before "I Know You Got Soul".Thanks to last year's reissue the demand in Japan seems to have disappeared and the originals go for reasonable amounts again. The reissue is still available as well.

    When I played that song out I got a good reaction. The funny thing was the reaction was from the Latino's from the kitchen and the bus boys. I looked up from the decks and notice the restaurant staff lurking by the tables. Nobody's tables were getting cleared during that song. When I was in Miami in december I was driving thru town and looking for a radio station. Next thing you know Choco comes on. It made my day. My daughter was feeling it as well. Big ups to Choco.
