Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic 3 - It's Life (You Gotta Think Twice)
When I used to shop at the Virgin record store on the High Street most of the time you had to get in quick or lose out. Some records however were in the import box for months on end and I used to see them each week and pass them up for more desirable slices of dope wax. Anyway, after I started making a bit of money, (got my first job when I was 17 and was paid the handsome amount of 65 quid a week after tax) I could get some of the 'unwanted' records that were doing some serious time in that box. One of which wasn't this 12" but it was the first volume of Mr. Magic's Rap Attack and this was on it. I'd only ever heard 'The Roof Is On Fire' before and wasn't that keen on it really and I still think this one is the best they did. I eventually copped the 12" from good old Beat Street Records so here it is in full 320kbps glory. I'm pretty sure Beat Street never used to mention if there were markings on the labels in their monthly catalogue but that's never really bothered me too much as it's the tunes I was after but this one used to belong to some nightclub, the name of which I can't quite make out.

i remember 'the roof is on fire'
I think it was the first rap record
i ever heard with swearing on it when I was a kid. I kind of liked the beat at the time but when I heard the burn
motherfucker bit I wasn't impressed
maybe it was because If I played it
loud at home.. you know. I listened to it back recently anyway and I have to
say it's a great record the beat is so full of energy which makes these
early 80's records such gems and it's
great to hear another record by
Rock Master Scott thanks
the sweary part didn't bother me that much it was the tune itself i wasn't that keen on. 'request line' on the other side is much better.
