Kingdom Blow LP
retrocopertina dell’album "Kingdom Blow" – particolare
L’ LP di Kurtis Blow "Kingdom Blow" (1a stampa USA 1986 Mercury – numero di catalogo: 422 830-215-1 M-1) mi è stato donato da Wave qualche anno fa (lui ne aveva due copie). Sicuramente è uno dei miei dischi rap preferiti e quindi ho deciso di inserire in questo articolo la grafica della copertina (con Kurtis poggiato alle torri del World Trade Center) e dei file mp3 (mono) tratti da "Street Rock" (primo brano dell’album, in cui compare anche Bob Dylan) e "The Bronx" (secondo brano del lato A). Clicca sulle immagini per ingrandire.

("The Boss" which is the background music where Tommy Gibbs is shot
while crossing a street corner was sampled for Ice-T’s "You Played
Yourself", and also for Trick Daddy‘s "Take It To Da House"). More recently, by The Alchemist for Prodigy‘s currently last album Return of the Mac.
- The film is name-checked in Public Enemy‘s song "Burn Hollywood Burn", when guest rapper Big Daddy Kane reacts to the abandonment of black culture by Hollywood filmmakers by saying "I got Black Caesar back at the crib." Kane makes another reference to the movie in his song "How U Get A Record Deal".
- According to the DVD commentary, Larry Cohen originally wrote this
film with Sammy Davis Jr. in mind for the title role, but after the
success of Shaft, the film was retooled for Fred Williamson".
