Blowfly

legendary dirty rap superstar

Alternative Tentacles Records

http://www.blowflyofficial.com

Before there was Kool Keith, Old Dirty Bastard or 2 Live Crew - before there was hip hop - there was Blowfly, performing X-rated songs with a funky groove.

In reality, there's a split personality involved in this man's music: there's Blowfly, the outrageously garbed creator of trash classics such as "Shittin' on the Dock of the Bay" and "Porno Freak," and then there's Clarence Reid, who has recorded more than a dozen "clean" albums over the years and penned songs for the likes of K.C. and the Sunshine Band, Gwen McRae, Betty Wright, and Sam and Dave. Many people cite Blowfly as being the first rapper with his 1965 "Rap Dirty" record. Blowfly's sounds are a staple of modern-day hip hop. His music has been sampled by many rappers, including The Jurassic 5 whose hit "Quality Control" is backed by the outro from Weird World Of Blowfly, Ice Cube, Atmosphere and Puff Daddy.
