America is the sixth album by rapper Kurtis Blow, released in 1985 on Mercury Records. The album includes the song "If I Ruled the World" from the film Krush Groove, Blow's biggest hit since "The Breaks" and one of the last of his musical career. The album was the first album Kurtis Blow produced in a new deal with Polygram Records that gave Kurtis the title, 'Hip Hop's First Millionaire". The album was released in an era when old school hip hop was being overtaken by a harder sound and attitude. The album includes the first sample loop which revolutionized the music industry. The single, "If I Ruled the World", reached number 24 in the UK Singles Chart in January 1986.

  • America è il sesto album del rapper statunitense Kurtis Blow, pubblicato nell'ottobre 1985 e distribuito dalla Mercury Records. L'album include If I Ruled the World, una delle sue più grandi hit da The Breaks e una delle ultime della sua carriera. L'album è stato il primo prodotto in seguito a un accordo tra Blow e la PolyGram Records e in un'epoca in cui l'old school veniva superato da un suono e da un atteggiamento più duro, l'album è riuscito a tirar fuori il più grande successo del rapper nel Regno Unito, con If I Ruled the World che ha raggiunto la ventiquattresima posizione nella classifica dei singoli nel gennaio del 1986 e il sedicesimo posto nella Hot Black Singles statunitense. Questa traccia include anche il primo loop campionato che ha rivoluzionato l'industria musicale. L'albu (it)

Il critico Robert Christgau scrive una recensione mista per il sesto album di Blow, dandogli una «B» come voto. Positivo il giudizio retrospettivo di Bil Carpenter per AllMusic. (it)
