From the early 80s cult classic Liquid Sky, dig "Me and My Rhythm Box"

Does this count?

No.

this was a dope thread, wish I could see what the dead youtubes are.

someone should make a spotify playlist of whatever's still visible

rev how did u never tell me about this thread when you were coming to my dj nights

I think I had just moved to Portland when I started this thread and likely hadn't even hit up your night tbh

deleted youtubes:

beasties - cookie puss
bush tetras - too many creeps
double dee & steinski - lesson 1
malcolm mclaren - d'ya like scratchin
the computer people communicators - talking and scratching ??
or
konk - baby dee ??
man parrish - hip hop bebop
aural exciters - chinese rap
jah wobble - snake charmer
the strikers - body music
clash - magnificent seven
the cage ft nona hendryx - do what you wanna do
new age steppers - some love ???? mentions "vivien goldman version"
or prob more likely
vivien goldman - private armies from laundrette ep
the nails - 88 lines about 44 women
arthur russell - calling all kids???
lou reed - disco mystic
the bloods - button up
the dance - she likes to beat
funky four - feel it (the mexican)

or maybe sub "calling all kids" for "let's go swimming," which was actually released in the mid-80s

or it might be loose joints

or dinosaur or lola or something.

That one that says "baby dee-d..." has me baffled, too. It's not showing up clearly in google. Jacob Sanders is still around so he could tell us what track Vivien Goldman was on.

Presumably the missing Konk tune is this?

I've never heard any punk in it, tho...

Wheel Me Out, Was Not Was

This song is the most amazing thing ever.

If it doesn't have to be NYC, surely this fits too?

no

always thought Moe's takedown of Bee here was punk as fuck:

The version of Private Armies on the New Age Steppers record is a shorten dub version also on the Dirty Washing 12" but the longer version is the best one, imo.
This would be my pick for an Arthur Russell songs that fits disco, punk and rap

Not New York, not really hip-hop (but a lot of it begs to be sampled if it wasn't already), but punk and yes, disco can be heard here:

And though he's not New York, Billy Squier has a few songs that are disco, were sampled by hip-hop artists back in the day, and some riffs that were at least as punky as they were funky. I'm hard-pressed to come up with one song that combined all of it, though I think this comes closest.

I want to fit this in as well... It's New York (Long Island)! It's disco and hip-hop! It's kinda punk (in that I can totally hear a ska-punk band cover this unironically)! It's '70s though.
