Did Sly Fox rip it off? Not necessarily, as both songs just happened to be produced by Ted Currier. Currier actually recorded "Let's Go All the Way" first and thought it turned out so good that he played it for the Boogie Boys, whom he had started working with. Apparently, Boogie Boy member Stro loved it as well and ended up writing a rap over the beat. This impressed Currier and he decided to adjust the beat track from "Let's Go" for the new rap song "A Fly Girl." Timeline wise, "A Fly Girl" came out during the summer while "Let's Go didn't appear until the end of the year making it seem like "Let's Go" ripped off "Fly Girl." Yet it was just a case of same producer and same beat applied to two different styles of music.

Boogie Boys - Fly Girl was released February 1985, Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way was released December 1985.
Both tracks are great tracks and classic oldschool, Many people thought Boogie Boys took the beat from Sly Fox, But it's actually the other way around. that beat and drums comes 1st from Boogie Boys - Fly Girl. -

I'm surprised you don't hear more old school DJs spin this record. City Life is decent but easily forgettable. The gem here is A Fly Girl. Taking a break from Sly Fox's Let's Go All The Way, the beat on this track is fierce. An effect that sounds like metal scraping together gives the track a bit of an abrasive edge found on few hip hop records. Tough and raw... highly recommended!
