Who doesn’t remember the ‘Human Beat Box’? Well Doug E Fresh is back and has one of his old cronies from the Get Fresh Crew, Slick Rick, in tow. In the 80’s the pair recorded "The Show" and "La Di Da Di," a tune voiced by Slick Rick and backed by Doug E’s beat boxing. It was when both of those songs were released on a single that two shot into stardom. Those hits are considered two of the greatest early hip hop classics.
