UMG - Young MC - Stone Cold Rhymin' - 180-Gram Stone Gold & Red Colored Vinyl - VINYL LP

180G Stone Gold & Red. Released on September 5, 1989, Stone Cold Rhymin' contains 13 songs and zero curse words. The sepia-toned album cover depicts Young in profile, cradling an old broadcast microphone and looking more like a dapper doo-wopper than a hip-hop hero. In terms of playing it straight, the songs are shocking in their innocence. At the 1990 Grammy Awards, InchBust A MoveInch won for Best Rap Performance. It was clear that hip-hop wasn't going to back the NY-or-nothing mentality, and New York's ire was real. Grumpy Village Voice don Robert Christgau deigned to give Stone Cold Rhymin' a InchB+Inch in his letter-grade consumer guide. InchHis polysyllables and quick lips aren't as fresh as he thinks they are, Inch sniffed Christgau. Au contraire Stone Cold Rhymin' still sounds fresh after all these years. Album Tracks 1.
