Old School Song of the Week

Afrika Bambaataa & The Soul Sonic Force - "Looking For The Perfect Beat"
Dropped in 1983, it was the follow-up single to the hit "Planet Rock." Bambaataa began his career as a DJ in the Bronx and then formed the Zulu Nation, a group of politically aware rappers. Here's the video for you fools who slept on this song, which is a perfect example of what early hip-hop was all about. And for what it's worth, the song is currently running in a Visa commercial that features a breakdancing worm.
