rap listners from 1988 I need your help please

[::Jaz::]

alright man..it is killing me now...(the funniest thing is...I taped it off a show I now host and have done for over 13 years)

This is the joint...these are the only clues I have

It was released in 88, around the same time as

JVC Force and Tall Dark & Handsome

It had a very raw New York sound, it used the "amen brother"at a slower pitch and the ufo's waahh-wah-wah-s (that were a staple in the lates 80's)

The MC drew his lines out like this...

"Bank to the roll...roll to the...bank
you make a move I;ll cut you like a ..shank"

The DJ cut up DJ Ace (ace...ace...ace)

The chorus was either "Live It Up Or Give It Up"

The B-side used an Issac Hayes loop and a Jackson 5 sample (I'll Be There") which the DJ cut up...

There is a mention of Ace and Action

But it's NOT Masta Ace, or Nice and Smooth ("Dope Not Hype")

I only have it on a tape and the quality is shit..I will pay good $$ for this record...as it is my most sought after joint EVER...

I need this on mp3 or CD, record of course would be ill....

so who can help me?..pleasssseeeeee

Dammit! You're killing me with this.
I know which track you're talking about, only because you noted the Amen Brother sample, and the UFO's sample....

But i don't remember the MC flipping like that.......


Dammit. This is gonna bug me all day long until i figure it out.


I bet LBFam knows.
