Doug E. Fresh bills himself as the World's Greatest Entertainer—and the Harlem-raised hip-hop personality has the clout and talent to pull off the boast. Comfortable rapping, beat-boxing, and hyping up a crowd, he scored a hip-hop classic with the double-sided single "The Show/La-Di-Da-Di" in '85, with the latter track also helping to break Slick Rick to the world. Oh, My God! dropped the following year, before he claimed a fourth longplayer with 1995's Play. At his best, Doug E. Fresh is a professional party-starter.
