Old School Hip-Hop Review - Special Ed, "Youngest In Charge"

1989 - (Profile Records) - This album from from Special Ed came power packed with explosive word play and lyrical movement. It had a force to go up against some the top albums of that year. Ed held things down with his classics "I Got It Made and I'm The Magnificent" that were definate club rockers. If you had your ear plugged to the streets at the time this album was realesed, you will find a place for these jams in your collection of rap music. 1989 was a year of EPMD, De La Soul, and many other groups and solo acts. Special Ed fit himself into that mainstream of real emcees when this album was realeased. Some will consider him a pioneer by his peers.
