Stone Cold Rhymin', the 1989 debut from Young MC, came out on Delicious Vinyl, and it's the sound of a rapper who'd rather charm the room than menace it. Marvin Young, to use the name he was born with, rhymes fast, clean and funny, riding loose, party-ready beats with the timing of a stand-up comic who happens to own a great record collection.
Track three is the one everybody knows. "Bust a Move", all bounce and wisecracks, went to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, topped the charts in Australia and remains his calling card. "Principal's Office" followed it up at No. 33 and picked up a Best Rap Video nomination at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, while the album itself climbed to No. 9 on Billboard's pop albums chart. Rhino later reissued it, and Brainstorm came next.
