Mac The Rapper
Posted by: slomacuser on 2009-03-07 01:15:14 Just bought this LP, I can hardly wait to hear it :lol: From description: Item Specifics - Music: Records Speed: 33 RPM Genre: Rap, Pop, Computer Record Size: 12" Yes believe it or not in 1987 Shinola Records produced Mac The Rapper singing "What Is Love". 3 versions of the song are featured on the LP: Radio mix, Instrumental dub & Club mix. The singing is created using the Apple's text to speech software with back-up vocals by "The Girlfriends". The album artwork is created using Apple's MacPaint.

Posted by: Scott Baret on 2009-03-07 21:39:27 When I saw this I initially thought it was an old Kris Kross album (Mac Daddy and Daddy Mac). (I actually remember when those guys were the "new" thing, which goes to show how antiquated I am becoming!) This artwork is pretty good, although they'd have to print two prints if it was really MacPaint-generated. MacPaint was always 1-bit although the magenta color looks pretty close to the one used as a "Mac standard" in the early days (if you know what I mean...those of us who have dealt with CLUT resources probably remember this).

Posted by: istar1018 on 2009-03-13 07:28:25 Yep, add another vote for 1) a description of what it sounds like and 2) a rip.
Posted by: slomacuser on 2009-03-21 15:33:28 Hey, here it is finally :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I posted youtube video,
Posted by: Green78II on 2009-03-21 16:13:02 Well worth the wait :beige:
Posted by: techfury90 on 2009-03-21 19:39:07 What about MP3s of the tracks?
Posted by: Bunsen on 2009-03-24 06:39:28 Ow. My brain.
Posted by: istar1018 on 2009-03-24 08:07:40 Wow. Not what I expected. The 80s were interesting times.
Posted by: joshc on 2009-03-24 17:16:52 Well worth the wait :beige: Indeed, but from what I can tell, the instrumental B side wasn't included in the YouTube video? I for one would like to hear it. 🙂
Posted by: slomacuser on 2009-03-25 09:47:11 Actually I made a mistake in labeling the MP3's :I - Radio MIX is Club MIX - 4:53 - DUB MIX is Instrumental DUB - 3:37 - Instrumental MIX is Radio MIX which is the same as Club mix but shorter - 3:37
Posted by: Dog Cow on 2009-03-25 13:09:32 Is that a 12" single? Such as for Disc Jockeys?
