Kurtis Blow (album)

The album Kurtis Blow is rapper Kurtis Blow's self-titled debut, released in 1980. It includes the famous song "The Breaks", that was often sampled later in hip-hop records, mainly for its introduction made by Blow's a cappella vocal, and for the drum break, giving a wordplay dimension to the title. "Rappin' Blow, Pt. 2" was issued as a single, that had a "do-it-yourself" B-side, the instrumental version. "Takin' Care of Business" is one of the first hip hop and rock'n'roll cross over attempts.

Famous quotes containing the word blow:

    Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a manoeuver, a blow with an agreement.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
