Boogie Down Productions : The P Is Free (B-Boy, 1986)
(fixed)
Like a lot of people I heard the remix of Pussy Is Free long before the original. The version on "Criminal Minded" had that reggae sample while the first recording of the song was straight hip-hop with noting but beat box and some 808 sounds.
The B side to Boogie Down Productions’ first single, South Bronx, was really on some low fi tip. Recorded in one take for the astronomical budget of $ 25 with D-Nice as the human beat-box, The Pussy Is Free suffers from a terrible mixdown, but regardless is historically important if only for the inclusion of KRS/BDP signature line “Fresh for 86, suckas !”

Well now that it DOES work, let me just say that goddamn, I've been looking for this song for a good ten years... and never entirely sure it even existed. So yeah, definitely thanks for putting this up.
