Antoinette. Baby Make It Boom - posted by BeatsLikeABoxer

I have been collecting records for years, I have about 9,000 and many have been for pleasure, others have been for parties I have dj'ed. One of my favorite genres of all time is early break dancing and electro music, the beginning time period of hip hop in a way. Africa Bambaataa -


I wanted to start posting about some of my favorite songs, and as I was searching through crates I kept coming across women rappers from 1979 - 1989, rappers not mentioned well in the history of hip hop. I get a little frustrated with the media and music shows that overlook the many women in the beginning of hip hop; freestylers, rappers, crew members, groups and solos.
I want these posts to reveal the diverse sounds of all the ladies on the mic. Many of the songs a word or two is exchanged to a competing rapper. All of them are gems.

This is the first post, Baby Make It Boom, Antoinette. 1986.

I hear a little bit of "working in a coal mine" & "I feel good" in there, what a crazy combo.
