the first wire album i owned was called *In The Pink*. i bought it in the mid 80's. it was kind of a perfect album really. when i first bought the actual albums all i wanted to hear were the songs on that comp.

I sort of like his narcissism actually. Is there an Egyptian Lover track where he doesn't namecheck himself in the vocals? Or where his record sleeves don't say "Everything was written, produced, performed, mixed, engineered, and mastered by Egyptian Lover"?

SS: Then the guy from Cybotron, Rick Davis, thought you were dead?
EL: He saw the headline: “Lady Diana Dies With Egyptian Lover.”
― haitch, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 03:56 (sixteen years ago) link
EL: One time this girl from the LA Times came up and said, “Wow, you’re better than the Egyptian Lover. What’s your name?” And I said, “DJ Sperm Cell.” LA Times the following Sunday: “DJ Sperm Cell Better Than Egyptian Lover.” With pictures of me in the paper. Some damn fools!

pyramids had polished limestone outer layers back in the day, could well have reflected enough light to be considered 'shiny'.

They both were in Uncle Jamm's Army, as were DJ Pooh and Bobcat. I believe E Lover was the main man of that DJ team though.
Bob went on to form the LA Posse, producing LL's Bigger and Deffer (to Rick Rubin's dismay), and Pooh, aside from being King Tee's ace in the hole, I think produced some Snoop eventually (as did DJ Battlecat).
World Class Wrecking Crew and LA Dream Team were the upstarts that were trying to take over Uncle Jamm, and of course, Dre far outshined Egyptian.
The following is part 6 of 9 from the 1983 German documentary Breakin' and Enterein' that kinda downplayed the park jams and focused on the Radiotron youth center, giving way to the fame of Ice T and paving the way for the big(ger) budgeted Breakin'
Egyptian Lover on the wheels:
The footage of Ice dancing earlier in the film is priceless.
