  1. Beat Bop (Vocal)
  2. B Beat Bop ((Instrmntl (Version) One.)


""Beat Bop" is a single by American hip-hop artists Rammellzee and K-Rob, originally released in 1983 by record label Tartown. It was initially distributed merely as a test pressing. Its cover was designed by New York City graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The result of a disagreement between Rammellzee and Basquiat, the track has been cited as having an influence on artists such as Beastie Boys and many hip hop artists due to its chaotic, abstract sound. Due to the rarity of its original pressing, it has been called the Holy Grail of rap records. It is featured in the hip-hop documentary film Style Wars.
