Did BoC start vaporwave?
This track somewhat suggests so. It's from "A Few Old Tunes," a tape that the band probably made as a demo for record labels.

It's literally a slowed down version of the song "Trapped" by Colonel Abrams, much like track 2 on Floral Shoppe is just slowed down Diana Ross.
Thoughts about this pre-Eccojam vaporwave?

No. Hip-hop artists have used slowed down samples for decades. The rest of Old Tunes is mainly techno.

If you consider vaporwave to just be slowing down a song, I think Neu! wins, this album is pretty much just them slowing down and fucking around with their first album.
city pop is the real proto vaporwave

came out in 99. As far as we know, AFOT was made before Twoism, which itself was 97 IIRC.
