The next year, he appeared with the Treacherous Three on "New Rap Language" and dropped the solo joint "Love Rap," backed by only drums and congas, on the flip-side. Several more singles followed, including "Spoonie Is Back," "The Big Beat," and "Monster Jam." A master of storytelling, Spoonie's rhymes transcended the party-centric vibe of the era, and influenced countless emcees. In the mid-eighties he teamed up with Marley Marl, resulting in "Take It Off" and "The Godfather." His later work paired him with a young Teddy Riley (who had also laid tracks for Kool Moe Dee and Doug E. Fresh), but his spotlight was fading. Tuff City put out a collection of Spoonie Gee's hits called <I>The Godfather Of Rap Vol. 1</I> in '96, and he can still be found on dozens of Old School compilations today. - Brolin WinningEast Coast Old Schoolen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:44:15 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1393&rws=%2Fspoonie-gee%2Ftop-tracks.rss The nephew of Sylvia Robinson (Sugarhill Records), Spoonie Gee debuted in 1979 at age 16 with the classic single "Spoonin' Rap."
