This is a pivitol tune in the recent history of music. Herbie Hancock, more notable for his jazz sessions, found the new hip-hop sound coming out of the Bronx in the early 70's, as well as the intriguing new frontier of electronic music, as a new outlet for creativity. Much like when Dylan went electric, many of Herbie Hancocks fans betrayed him in this new venture. Still, to this day, there is a rift between those whole like Herbie Hancock jazz and those who like Herbie Hancock electro. Regardless, this record is one of the more significant records to come out in this period marking a turning point in hip-hop music.
