Sweet Tee & Jazzy Joyce: Queens of the Bronx

David Toop, The Face, May 1987

"HIP HOP is such a beats orientated music. It's just beats and a bass line. If you put anything else to it like keyboards and guitars and a whole bunch'a other stuff it becomes music!" Jazzy Joyce's voice goes up two octaves on the word 'music' as if someone jabbed her in the backside. 

Total word count of piece: 553
