hell, they even rap about going to discos and dancing. the first thing that
super rhymes does when he arrives on earth is head to the disco "...i went
to studio 54 but they wouldn't even let me in the door..." (sung with a
transylvanian accent!) once he gets in, he does a freak attack on the dance
floor by doing the "the translyvania boogie - seven days a week."
the stuff on tuff city, early spoonie g, patrick adams and peter brown
stuff. t-ski 'catch a groove' and many many more.
the early rapping over disco basslines stuff is as good as it gets!
brilliant music.

I realize that disco rhythms were used in hiphop and that there was
crossover, but the same can be said about punk too. The fact that disco
rhythms and subject matter show up in punk songs doesn't mean that punk
is another form of disco. I just find it questionable to say that one
is a form of the other just because it incorporates its elements.
