1988 - (Tommy Boy)- This album from Stetsasonic in my opinion is the best they ever released in there short time as the world's first Hip-Hop band. The first album On Fire was a hot one, that goes without saying to any true fan of the music. In Full Gear had everything from hard beats and well crafted rhymes. Daddy-O, Frukwan (Gravediggaz), Wise (The Human Beat Machine) and M.C. Delite were all highly skilled emcees of their time. DBC and a young D.J. Prince Paul controlled the beats and they were a smash. The main single I think everyone remembers is "Talking All That Jazz". It was a song pointed to all the people in the industry who didn't approve of sampling. At this time back in 1988 most artists could get away with it, but nowadays we all know that if you sample a record you have to pay. The Stet definitely took the music to new heights back in the day. For all that is said about the golden era of rap music (1986-1991) Stetsasonic was the first to coin the phrase Hip-Hop band and truly live up to the term that they introduced.
