Another McDonald's 80's compilation that is worth having! This one features obscure Rap artists rapping about Black History and MLK. It sounds very much of the era, as you'd want it to. (hence the appeal)....
Any collector of early hip hop/rap/electro should try to find a copy of this record. Although these tracks are not great, they are quite decent, and represent something special from the 80's era.
These McDonald's releases, along with the "Budweiser Showdown" releases have become highly collectable for both their rarity, and the fact that these companies were not even music labels.
