Kurtis Blow — Party Time? EP


Disco rap has closed. And he remained outside, in the same white dress as "Tough", now faded. Hands in pockets, he has surrendered to the inevitable, he doesn't know where to go. He's visibly angry. Can you pity him? He tried to keep alive that genre that has been finished for a long time with this funky EP composed of R&B fillers or which wink at the disco and raw, skeletal rhythms. He no longer wants to rap, already evident before, here it's clear: he struggles, understanding that he'll not be able to carve out that margin to move into the festive world sung R&B, always forced to do rap: the result is that those sociopolitical lines sound weak, tasteless, gray. 6/10.
