Stumbled upon this collection today and had to post it here. The following is some of the rawest Hip-Hop ever recorded, enjoy...
MEMORY MAN'S HOUSE OF TAPES--------------------------------
The L Brothers at 123 Park 1979
Whiz Kid was one of the few from this era that could keep up with Flash.
Breakout, Barren & Funky 4+1 at T-Connection 10/25/80
Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force at T-Connection 1980
This is a short tape of the Force rocking with alternate DJ Dr. Shock.Charlie Chase, Tony Tone & The Cold Crush Brothers Vs. Dr. Rock & The Force MCs in Patterson, NJ 1983
This battle was controversial in that Cold Crush was allegedly not told that the show was being advertised as a battle and just did their regular set. The Force MCs had prepared routines dissing Cold Crush and won over the crowd. Words were exchanged between the crews later.New Music Seminar Beatbox and MC Battle 1985
This is all I have of this battle, although I'm pretty sure a complete recording exists. Kool Keith was a contestant this year.Here are some notable DJ Jazzy Jeff radio moments:
The greatest Hiphop battle ever? Quite possibly. As I said, I haven't heard the entire '86 battle, but how are you gonna beat Melle Mel Vs. Caz... twice! Plus, King Sun admirably holds his own, and the DJ competition is stocked with legends.New Music Seminar MC & DJ Battle 1988
this one's not quite as great as the '87 battle, but we still get to hear MC Serch battle pre-3rd Bass and Mikey D of the LA Posse and later of Main Source who took the belt this year.The Juice Crew In The UK 1988

Let's start it off with some dirty NYC boogie from 1981 on Zoo York Recordz. The intro was very short, so I took liberty of extending it and adding some simple chops to make it more playable.
A classic electro-funk jam from the prolific jazz musician Tom Browne. 
Some of you may have heard this on the radio show a couple weeks back, it's an amazing 80's funk track on Motown records. Keep your eyes out for this promo, it has another personal favorite on the flip side, Mary Jane Girls "Candy Man". Shout outs to Cody for putting me up on this one!
