The following year he came back with "The Breaks," a bona fide hip-hop classic (and his first gold single) which is still loved today. He was the first rapper signed to a major label, and released nearly ten albums between '80 and '88. His other hits include "Basketball," "If I Ruled The World," and "Hard Times." In the nineties, Mercury put out the <I>Best Of Kurtis Blow</I> compilation, and Rhino released the three volume collection <I>Kurtis Blow's History Of Rap</I>. In 2000, Kurtis worked on <I>Sunset Park</I>, a play about the beginnings of hip-hop. - Brolin WinningEast Coast Old Schoolen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:08:37 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1650&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fkurtis-blow%2Fplaylists.rss A pioneering emcee out of Harlem, Kurtis Blow found his first hit in 1979 with "Christmas Rappin."
