The IC Classics Vault is missing three legendary old school albums;
1. Live Convention 81
2. Live Convention 82
3. The Wildstyle Soundtrack (1983)
The first two Live Convention albums (81/82) are technically the first "Hip Hop Rap" albums. That means they weren't poetry albums or spoken word. They were Hip Hop Rap. The Live Convention albums were live recordings of shows. As far as I know they're unauthorized bootlegs, but they were sold in stores. People in California and the UK had these albums. If you want to know what Hip Hop sounded like in 1981/82 this is it.
Rappers like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5, The Sequence, Kurtis Blow and The Sugarhill Gang released albums in the early 80s but those albums had ballads and R&B songs. Presumably the record label execs didn't think there was a market for an album with all rapping on it so they made ballads to appeal to the R&B market. The Live Convention albums aren't just all rap, they're recorded with a live DJ mixing records. This is what you would see/hear if you went to a club like The Ecstasy Garage, the Audubon Ballroom or Harlem World.
Live Convention 81 features DJ Lightning Lance who bears the distinction of being the first DJ to scratch on a record that was released. Grandmaster Flash is on this album, along with Melle Mel from The Furious 5, but for some reason DJ Lightning Lance gets the credit for being the first DJ to scratch on a record.
Live Convention 82 has DJ Grandwizard Theodore. Theodore invented scratching in 1975. Side 1 is Grandwizard Theodore on the turntables and The Romantic Fantastic 5 on the mic. Then on side two Busy Bee gets on the mic and kills it. I can't seem to find the Busy Bee freestyle on Youtube but trust me, he kills it.
And then there's the Wildstyle Soundtrack. Seriously, its embarrassing that The Wildstyle Soundtrack isn't already in the vault. This website is called Allhiphop.com. Wildstyle is the first (and best) Hip Hop movie. There's a scene with Cold Crush freestyling and The Rocksteady Crew breakdancing. What could be more Hip Hop than that? Anyway, the soundtrack has all the legendary crews from back in the day; Cold Crush, The Romantic Fantastic 5, Busy Bee, Lil Rodney Cee and KK Rockwell, Rammellzee and Shock Dell. Grandmaster Caz has two studio recordings on this soundtrack. There's even a DJ track with Grandwizard Theodore scratching.
Here's a clip from Live Convention 82

Sometime in the 2000s somebody released a fake Live Convention 1977-79 and a fake Live Convention 1980. Those are really recordings from 1977-79 and 1980 but they were released in the 2000s. So they're not really authentic like the original Live Convention albums that were really released in 1981 and 1982. -

Ill take your word for it then. I thought the vault on page 1 was all there was.
Great Adventures of Slick Rick is a pillar of hiphop tho. -

I will attempt to, its some albums that came out just a few years ago that I cant even get enough votes for I can only imagine how many ppl were even alive during that era but yea I will attempt to do some. Nothing against the Golden Era OG's. -
There definitely is a generational gap but sum youngins like myself appreciate Hip Hop from that era.. I see were u coming from tho bruh

Because nobody has heard it.
But there might be other reasons.
