These two emcees from the Bronx, NY entered the American hip hop scene with an insider slang that bewildered listeners as they radiated the look of a bygone era of black culture. In 1996, they collaborated with producer Ski and a host of other contributors to create \u003ci\u003eUptown Saturday Night\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring the seminal single Luchini (a.k.a. This is It). While other 1990s rappers referred to 1970s Blaxploitation culture, Camp Lo were self-described time travelers who weaved the slang and style of a soulful past into state-of-the-art lyrical flows.  \u003ci\u003eUptown Saturday Night \u003c\/i\u003eis a tapestry of 1970s black popular culture and 1990s New York City hip hop. This volume will detail how the album's fantastic world of Coolie High reflected classic films like \u003ci\u003eCooley High \u003c\/i\u003eand the Sidney Poitier film from which the album's title is derived, and promoted vintage slang and fashion.
