🎧 YT served up a pirated v. of "Now That We've Found Love" by #ThirdWorld. I thought, #HeavyD has an official channel, lemme see. It's there. Read the Wiki to find out what year (1991) AND learned it was a Gamble/Huff composition for the #OJays? Wow. How'd I not know that? Not the mood I want right now, but later.
Episode 171 - the "Hip-Hop 50" edition - of the Air Adam Podcast is out now!
The bulk of the show is based around three important records - one funk, two Hip-Hop - and then an assortment of tracks that drew from each, all in their own ways. Enjoy the mix, let me know what you think!
Going live right now @ https://twitch.tv/airadam13 for a set of some of the most important breaks in Hip-Hop history and the records that drew from them! 🎵🎵🎵
This tribute to iconic #HipHop#samples is so great! Not only replaying all the classic jams, but also how they assembled the #waveforms so you can see what's happening!
A gang of Irish art students went to Berlin for the summer of 1992. 2 mates and I out in the airport seeking seasonal jobs, in an empty arrivals hall, saw Public Enemy: Chuck D with a massive bag trolley. Flavor Flav looking to exchange US Dollars. We didn’t want to intrude on their busy arrival but when we saw them later on stage and it was visceral. #HipHop50#FiftyYearsOfHipHop#JukeBoxFridayNight #PublicEnemy#FightThePower#ChuckD https://songwhip.com/public-enemy/fightthepower
I went looking for a link to Missy Elliott’s All N My Grill on my subscription streamer. Really digging listening to it again but then an American male rapper starts in English! Big Boi? Where’s MC Solaar en français? Turns out I had a European version of the CD back in the day. 😆 That’s a global music empire tailored to local circumstance. Well played. Here’s the European version. #HipHop50#FiftyYearsOfHipHop#FridayNightJukebox#MissyElliott#MCSolaar https://youtu.be/69FkmECYOxY
Of course, the poster that I commissioned to depict the forces that brought Kara and I together. Diddy, Nas, and Bad Boy Records are part of that story. Where would we be without hip-hop?! I wouldn't want to find out.
