The description from the back of the record that just arrived in the mail:
Here’s Hall of Fame announcer Mel Allen rapping with Melle Mel
Sick, sick flows. How ‘bout that?
Rap music started filtering out of the Bronx in the 1970s, but there’s one Bronx rapper who’s been rappin’ baseball at Yankee Stadium since the 1930s. For six decades, Mel Allen was the voice of baseball’s most famous team, the New York Yankees.
In “BASEBALL DREAMS,” rock’n’roll combines with rap. The Naturals provide the rock’n’roll, and Grandmaster Mel provides the rap. And if that ain’t def enough, this rapper’s delight was co-written by George “Jellybean” Roy, former video editor and producer of “This Week In Baseball.”
“If that ain’t def enough ...”
At first, you think it’s just a song with Mel Allen samples. Then you get to 1:20. Grandmaster Melle Mel meets Grandmaster Mel. Brilliant. Horrifying.
