Aguably the best song in hip hop history with "The Message".

Ubrise

An important release for hip hop as well as electro. Although it is a culmination of some of their singles, released before this, and some new stuff it is so important. When was the last time you heard an album that had a song as good as "the Message" and then a song as good as "Scorpio"(remember this is 1982)? ....I thought so.
