00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.679
Well, all right, ladies and
gentlemen that said Back to the Eighties radio

00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.600
listen is super Mario. Here step
right up to history in the making at

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:40.039
the one and only Fabulous Forum,
introducing the ultimate Eighties Rap Regathering Concert.

4
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.719
It's time to lace up those high
tops, rock those boombox beats, and

5
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:47.280
gather under the neon lights for a
night that will take you to a nostalgic

6
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.399
journey through the birthplace of hip hop. Ladies, gentlemen, we have a

7
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.200
special guest in studio to talk about
the great event that we're gonna be having

8
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:59.359
here at the Fabulous Forum in Los
Angeles in Englewood to talk about it is

9
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:06.079
one of the most exciting, one
of the most luxurious, illustrious masters of

10
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:14.040
event planning in all of California.
It's the one, the only Rod Steel

11
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.359
Hi Tusky. It is so good
to be back on the Tuscano and Chang

12
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:29.760
version of Back to the Eighties Tusky. It's been hectic. It's been delightful,

13
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:38.439
strainful, stressful, sexual, orgasmic, sophisticated. It's been everything that

14
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:45.680
you can imagine if you were on
mushrooms on Mars Tusky. I was wondering

15
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.640
where's Chang is? Did he find
sasquatch him? And now his wife?

16
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.640
Do you know if Chang wasn't married, I'd prison rape him and I'd pay

17
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.480
you money to turn your cheek if
you know what I'm saying. Oh,

18
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.439
it's we've got NWA, We've got
the wood Tang, We've got the Beastie

19
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.360
Boys, we've got a little bit
of run DMC, who's left as a

20
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.919
matter of fact, resting piece hip
hop, real stories, real truth.

21
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:20.719
It's not like the bubblegum hip hop
now where you smoke some weed that you

22
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.400
got for somebody with all kinds of
tattoos, and oh, all of a

23
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:29.919
sudden you want to make music and
all you do is you sound like somebody

24
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:37.280
in county jail, just poor and
oh down and the same thing. Rap

25
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:42.360
music trashes women, That's right,
ladies, stand up good. It trashes

26
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:49.560
women, and it gives men a
negative outlook of themselves. Thuggery, stupidity,

27
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.439
no brains now comments says, no
education anyway. This is happening on

28
00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:00.000
December ninth. I am going to
have my own booth from my boutique.

29
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.639
I know, I know, And
are you going to be having anybody with

30
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.080
you? Along for the ride,
commentating, Oh, tuskey, I'm gonna

31
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:13.439
have the Queen Madonna sitting courtside with
me. She'll be doing small interviews,

32
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.560
yes, because she's probably banging most
of those hip hoppers than anybody else.

33
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.960
Who else would bang everybody in rock
and roll and hip hop than Madonna?

34
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.520
I love her. She's my girl. Now, Tusty, are you and

35
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.560
Chang going to be there? Because
I know Chang is very street. I

36
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.960
heard he likes n WA. I
know from one fan that I keep in

37
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.759
touch with doesn't like his attitude at
all. Sometimes I didn't do his hair.

38
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.719
I would just give him a pinch
on his nipple. Anyway, everybody

39
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.639
joined me on the ninth of December. Don't go Christmas shopping, Tusky.

40
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.879
The form is going to light up
with so many stallions. Oh, I

41
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.879
have not seen and drooled over so
many black stallions in the forms and showtime

42
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.919
magic. Oh the Captain Koreem thirty
three inches? Anyway, hoody hoot,

43
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:11.960
and don't pollut, Tusky. I
gotta get out of here because I have

44
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.160
to meet Wolfgang Puck at his restaurant, so I better get in. You

45
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:23.040
could tell Chang that fuck is split
in Bye Bye, Get ready for a

46
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:30.920
rumor coaster ride through an amazing decade
reading my lips calls will have this one

47
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.839
month toil, I wedded wife,
I will un a couple point. I

48
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:35.360
need to be in the Ork on
one day only entered the New York I

49
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.920
probably got a Cow'll be back.
There has been an accident at the chain

50
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.519
of the atomic pow station, sending
one point twenty one China watch into the

51
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.920
fust capacitor. Surely you can't be
serious. I am serious, and don't

52
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.160
call me shut howdy. Is a
quick bit of rubber dudes. You guys

53
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:57.480
are gonna go back in time,
back to the eight sies radio having talking

54
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.279
blues and things like concertos for drums. But right now, all around us

55
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.839
and so compelling. You never missed
the fact there's normality is a music that

56
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:11.120
is all beat, strong, read
and talk. It's rap music and it

57
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:18.000
sounds like this by London in speech
out the greatest orators of all time use

58
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:28.600
cry responds. Rising young rappers like
Curtis Blown maybe the newest stars of pop

59
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.959
music, but the origins of rap
date back hundreds of years. Point out

60
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.240
on the front borge walking stories in
rhyme have traditionally been common among the black

61
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:43.240
poor in the Deep South. Fay
the columns, head, naything, want

62
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.399
to do? Slip in my bed. In the interaction between black preacher and

63
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.120
congregation lies the roots of the call
and response form of most rap songs.

64
00:05:53.959 --> 00:06:00.199
Scat singing of the jazz greats comes
from the same tradition, as does the

65
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:11.560
verbal virtuosity of musical giants like James
Brown. So raps Caribbean counterpart can be

66
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:18.040
found in the reggae rhythms and rhymes
of Jamaica people. What would. The

67
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.120
art of rapping was brought to the
radio in the nineteen fifties by disc jockey's

68
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.959
like JACKO Henderson, who used to
say things like he tole yuck. Oh,

69
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.120
this is Jack in the back on
the scene the break of the machines,

70
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:36.319
saying good bump dude, how do
you do if? The boastful poetry

71
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:42.399
of Muhammad Ali is in the rap
tradition feat Ali's laings little left, Ali's

72
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:46.240
Laing's at a right, look at
the kid carry the fight, as was

73
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.480

talk o my hesitation. And in

121
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.799
the stream of the one who gouse
the last ministration fell a little dust of

122
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.080
wind. And on Jack for leave

128
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.559
w A. This is back to
the eighties radio. I'm Toscano from Toscano

129
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.159
and Chang, the duo that not
even Batman and Robin would dare to come

130
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.320
close to. And on that note, where the heck have you been,

131
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.080
Chang? I mean, you're late
again on the show. I wanted to

132
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:22.720
intro you and what happened? Where
were you? I was raped by a

133
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:30.559
sasquatch man handled, but I was
groped thrown against a tree by squatchy sasquatch.

134
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.320
Either it was Sasquatch, or it
was a tweaker living down by Lewis

135
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.720
Creek that hasn't bade or showered or
shaved. I don't know. It was

136
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.720
hard, see I could I could
not have done a better intro than what

137
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.480
you just did for yourself. This
is the one only back to the eighties

138
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.799
radio and today we are going to
be talking about a topic that we haven't

139
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.360
talked about ever on the show,
and you've been waiting for it. We've

140
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.840
had letters, We've had regular mail, we've had hate mail, We've had

141
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.000
thumbs up and colms down and other
kinds of fingers shown to us because we

142
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.200
haven't brought this topic to light.
But we today are going to be unearthing

143
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.000
the gems of the eighties rap scene, the pioneers, the trendsetters, and

144
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.519
the legendary artists who lay the groundwork
for what we know as hip hop today.

145
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.159
Today we're going to be talking about
rappers from the nineteen eighties, from

146
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.879
nineteen eighty to nineteen eighty nine,
from the streets of the Bronx to the

147
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.519
stages of sold out arenas, these
icons shape the musical landscape and carved their

148
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.000
names into history. So Chang are
you ready, Oh brother, come on,

149
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.039
you know I've got street cred,
and my street credit travels me to

150
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.799
so many neighborhoods and vauduos and hoods. You gotta remember. The nineteen eighties

151
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:54.759
marked the transformative era for rap.
It catapulted the genre from its nineteen seventies

152
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:01.759
humble beginnings to a cultural and musical
phenomena. The period of the eighties witnessed

153
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.759
the rise of a bunch of iconic
artists who paved the way for Rep's future

154
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.360
and it's eventual mainstream acceptance. And
that, ladies and denm is what we're

155
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.960
going to be talking about today with
the fabulous and wondrous chang So stick around,

156
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.399
don't go away, because when we
come back, we're going to dissect

157
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.759
the REP movement rappers of the nineteen
eighties. Here on the one and only

158
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.879
Back to the eighties Radio, the
new sound of the eighties. So suddenly

159
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.440
you hear it everywhere. REP music. It's all beat and all talk.

160
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.000
It tells you a story and makes
you want a dance. Steve Fox examines

161
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:45.799
an overnight phenomenon rapping to the beat. Now there's a little story I got

162
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.080
to tell about three bad brothers.
You know so well. It's cutting way

163
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:58.360
back in history with that little hooky
names for Revere. Just seeing my hoosie

164
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.919
in a court of beer across the
land, kicking up stairs. Irris bunches

165
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.960
on my clup. I'm in the
man one lonely PC. I p wool

166
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.200
by myself without no bots. The
sun is beating down on my baseball.

167
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.240
Hi, the Harris gets hot.
Looking for a girl. I ran into

168
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.039
a guy. His name is MCA. I said, howdy, he said

169
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:39.279
hi. He told a little story
that signed will rehearsed for it is on

170
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.840
the running that he's signing of thirst. The bruise in my hand and he

171
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.399
was on my tip, his voice
rehearsing. He's sicking. I guess some.

172
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.720
I said, you can't getting none
that it sits the run and pull

173
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:54.360
it a shotgun click on the draw. I thought I'd be dead. He

174
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.200
put the gun to my head and
did his body. Yeah, I got

175
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.039
a license to kill im. Sick. You know what, tell this is

176
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.120
time to get ill. You don't
with the wheel here and I all in

177
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.440
his bill. I wonder what you
want? Myself stepped into the wind.

178
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.080
He had a gun. I had
a grand get that the stories over,

179
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:30.159
but it's ready to begin. Yeah, I got the can, you've got

decision that you can't see. I'll
comploy you away. Ride with me.

182
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.200
I start to ride with you if
you can get me to the border.

183
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.480
The Sheriff's after me for what I
did through his daughter. I said it

184
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.720
like this. I did it like
that. I said it with the whipple

185
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.559
ball back. So I'm on the
runs. The cup, got my gun

186
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.399
and ride about. Now it's gonna
have some fun. The king had rock

187
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.559
that is my name, and I
know the flies brot what they got.

188
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.320
The chaff you will for six hours. Then we hits the spot. The

189
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.159
fat was a bumping and the girlies
was hot. The suit was staring like

190
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.360
he knows who we are. We
shot the empty spot next to him at

191
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:12.679
the bar and said, oh you
know this kid, I said I did

192
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.759
this, but I know he did. Get ready because this ain't funny.

193
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.759
Money us Mike tea and I'm about
to get money. Pulls off the jammy

194
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.519
hey knit at the sky. He
yelled the ball and let's do fly.

195
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:29.840
He's went up and people hits the
floor. He waits to do kids the

196
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.519
rent for the door. I'm mighty
and I can't respect your fashion. Your

197
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.559
jewelry is what I expect. MCA
was with it and he's my age.

198
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.919
So I tried the piano player and
I punched him in the face. Pianna

199
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:47.000
players out the music sucks his boy
had and he got dry. I didn't

200
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:51.039
grab the one ANCA stops the goal. I draft two girlies in a beard.

201
00:16:51.159 --> 00:17:06.839
That's far back to the eighties radio. You just heard Paul Revere from

202
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.279
the Beastie Boys. If you just
joined us, we are talking about rappers

203
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.279
from the nineteen eighties, and it's
going to be a great show as we

204
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:22.680
travel through the eighties. You people
today don't remember that raps started very very

205
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.880
long before the eighties. Some people
even think that raps started in the forties.

206
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.519
You know, it depends on who
is doing it. But rap as

207
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.000
we know it, you know,
with music and the dancing and everything from

208
00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:40.200
the nineteen seventies and leading into the
explosive growth of the eighties. There's bands

209
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.720
of groups like the sugar Hill Gang, which from nineteen seventy nine, which

210
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.839
played an important role in popularizing rap
and along with that. You know,

211
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:56.160
East and West we got it all
man. I mean, you know you

212
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.839
talk about the Sugar Hill Gang.
Man, I remember those cats with a

213
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:10.480
hip hip hit hip hop, you
don't stop the Rocket. Those cats ignited

214
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:15.079
it. I also want to mention
a rapper by the name that went under

215
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.680
the name of Grandmaster Flash, also
from the seventies to the eighties. His

216
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.720
top album called The Message from nineteen
eighty two. This is an album that

217
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:30.720
went huge, especially in the breakdown
Seeing Arena with songs like white Lines.

218
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.359
Remember that, Oh man, do
I remember that song? How Man?

219
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.799
I was doing blow like nobody could
control back in those are ah you see

220
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.839
you were doing everything. This song
said not to do it? Oh man?

221
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:49.279
Shoot man? White Lines running through
my mind. That was a great

222
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:57.839
song. You remember the backyard parties
during the eighties when hip hop was evolving.

223
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.240
I mean that was like the earthquake
that put soul into a lot of

224
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:15.279
Latinos, Caucasians, Asians. Anybody
in the eighties that decided to shake their

225
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.160
groove thing grabbed onto this music.
This music was so captivating. I think

226
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:26.880
that hip hop of the eighties,
I kind of think it's at the equivalent

227
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.519
of rock and roll. Of all
rock and roll. Rock and roll talked

228
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:37.279
about bad stories, bad issues,
truce hardships. Hip hop did the same

229
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:44.599
thing. But hip hop scared the
shit out of the Caucasian community, the

230
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.480
conservative community. You know, back
in the eighties. We were coming out

231
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.599
of a time in the seventies when
we were talking about bussing. We were

232
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:59.880
talking about racially biased cops. And
where I come from, Southside Montabello,

233
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:06.559
my familias from East LA, I'm
well aware of racial imbalancement, police brutality.

234
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:08.759
So when hip hop came out,
yeah, I know, you think

235
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:14.000
I'm only metal, but I latched
on, I listened, and a lot

236
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.880
of our generation did the same thing. So it created a unity of power

237
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:23.839
and hail man. That got Reagan, that got bushed, that got all

238
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:29.759
those fat cats scared, just like
John Lennon did. So. Hip hop

239
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:38.400
is not only a music, a
sound, it's a story. It's a

240
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:45.880
staple in America's society. And just
did a little bit of background on rap

241
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.319
and hip hop. The Bronx is
often considered the birthplace of hip hop culture.

242
00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.960
It can be traced all the way
back to block parties, DJ techniques,

243
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.279
am seeing in the region. I
mean this is, you know,

244
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.440
the late nineteen seven he saw the
rise of figures like DJ Koolherk, Africa,

245
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:10.119
Bambata, Grandmaster Flash who. These
guys played the role to shape the

246
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.160
foundations of rap and hip hop later
on. Of course, the West Coast

247
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:19.359
played a significant role in it as
well. Rap is a movement that evolved

248
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:26.839
from a small, little niche and
it just exploded. Why because there was

249
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:33.839
authenticity. Rap roots in the street
culture, resonated with listeners and it provided

250
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:38.200
a raw, unfiltered portrayal of urban
life. The lyrics just like you said,

251
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:42.799
it was storytelling in a very clever
wordplay. And then later on when

252
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.480
they added music, there was sampling. A lot of them didn't use the

253
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.559
instruments, you know, the full
rock bands, but they started with innovative

254
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.559
sampling. And of course what happened. This appealed to the youth man you,

255
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:03.440
It attracted the youth demographic. They
were looking for an alternative, an

256
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.599
alternative to mainstream music. And what
happened It exploded and here we get cultural

257
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:17.920
expression. Rap became the platform for
marginalized communities to express their experiences and that

258
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.160
fostered a sense of unity and empowerment. Just like you said Chang. Just

259
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.559
like rock and roll, it's a
spiritual kind of guidance. I thought of

260
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.240
the birth of hip hop when it
came out in the late seventies. But

261
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.680
then again, if we're talking about
where it kind of started, you know,

262
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:41.079
some people say Blondie started it.
That's right, the late seventies,

263
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.880
Yes, that's right. So you
know, you know, there's a couple

264
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:52.400
of artists that you could say started
it. You could say Motown started it.

265
00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.839
You could say Rhythm and Blues started
it. You could say it's anywhere.

266
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:02.400
But just like rock and roll,
it started. It was kind of

267
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.640
like a small brush fire that got
bigger and the field cut and it got

268
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.640
bigger. In the field cut and
it got bigger. Different climates made it

269
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.599
bigger. Fed the fire rock and
roll. On hip hop, they can

270
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.240
join hands, walk down the street, kick ass. It's going to instill

271
00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:23.920
the same fear, the same hate. Look, look what happened. In

272
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:32.480
nineteen eighty four with run DMC,
they had a collaboration with Aerosmith on Aerosmith's

273
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.640
song walked This Way. It bridged
the rock and rap gap. This took

274
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:45.319
run DMC to have a gold album. That song was groundbreaking, A lot

275
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:49.880
of this, of course thinks to
radio, but in big, big portion

276
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.000
believe it or not. For you
know, I know you don't like MTV,

277
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:59.720
but believe it or not, MTV
played a major, major role in

278
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:06.680
advancing because people actually got to see
the unification of rock and rap together,

279
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.960
and then you know, came other
other groups like we'll talk about it.

280
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.559
In just a moment. You are
listening to back to the Eighties radio with

281
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.920
Taskan and Chang, and we are
getting the hip and the hop and the

282
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:22.000
Hibby to the Hibby tonight. So
rest your soul because there's only one goal

283
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.880
that we got music is unity.

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.920
good as a salt. And if
you get a look, baby, it's

299
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:22.240
nobody else's bossing. Don't do it. Gr gr hire baby, get high

300
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:33.599
baby, get highed baby, and
don't out come down too high. Don't

301
00:27:33.680 --> 00:27:38.200
you get too high, baby?
Turn you really turned me on it on?

302
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:47.440
My temperature is rising. No,
I don't want you to go.

303
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:52.079
A street kid gets arrested, gonna
do some time. He got out three

304
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.519
years from now, just to commit
more crime. A business man is caught

305
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.200
what twenty four gee loans. He's
out on bail and out of jail.

306
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:11.640
And that's the way it does.
A day day athletes rejected gouver nerds,

307
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:18.480
corrected gamesters. Thus's mother thus are
thoroughly respected. The money gets divided,

308
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.599
the women get excited. Now I'm
broken. It's no joke. It's hard

309
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:52.279
and ra ladies and gentlemen, I'm
Shadow Stevens and you much. Listen to

310
00:28:52.519 --> 00:29:03.160
Back to the Eighties Radio. It's
the law. Welcome back all my brothers

311
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.920
and sisters to Back to the eighties
Radio with Taskanow and Chang. Tonight,

312
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:15.119
we are discussing the topic of this
flight is hip hop music of the nineteen

313
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:22.079
eighties, the concrete pillar of soul
by just trip out on like hip hop,

314
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.759
the rivalry that I think the business
made, the medium made, and

315
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:33.079
a little bit the political aspect made
a war of East Coast against West Coast.

316
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.119
Who was better, who was more
down, who had badass cats,

317
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:45.200
who was legit and who wasn't I
know that you mentioned the commercialization of the

318
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:51.559
whole genre, which is what made
it gain popularity, and as it underwent

319
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.519
commercialization, it led to the creation
of more radio friendly pop oriented tracks as

320
00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.480
well. But going back, that's
something about the politics of it all.

321
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.960
In the eighties when rap came on
the scene, a lot of it,

322
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.599
especially when it joined with rock like
for example, I think of groups like

323
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:14.880
the Beastie Boys, which went out
and they had their lyrics talk about,

324
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.759
you know, going up against the
rules and breaking rules and doing things that

325
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:30.920
normally teens were not supposed to be
doing it. But then there were groups

326
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:44.359
like Public Enemy, which politically charge
lyrics, brought attention to social injustices,

327
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:48.920
and they use RAP as a platform
for their activism. You know, Public

328
00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:55.240
Enemy is one of those groups that
we just don't see anything like that today.

329
00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:57.680
I'm not saying there isn't I'm just
saying we don't see it to the

330
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:03.319
extent that we had it. Then
you have to like dig really really deep

331
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.400
to search for some artists that will
do the same as Public Enemy. Artists

332
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:15.200
that were around from then that are
still around today. For example, another

333
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.480
one that spoke about his philosophy,
it's KRS one from the late eighties,

334
00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:26.039
nineteen eighty seven with his album with
Boogie Down Productions and his top album Criminal

335
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:29.920
Minded. I mean, KRS one
is still around today and he's still talking

336
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:36.079
about things that the government does to
the people and fighting against the system.

337
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:41.480
So you're right, Rap had a
lot of political aspects in it as well.

338
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.039
You know what's funny we talk about
this and you know, a lot

339
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.839
of our listeners don't know. I
don't know if you know this, but

340
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:53.400
like NWA is like my most favorite
hip hop artists of all time, you

341
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.200
know. And I dug the sugar
Hill Gang. You know, I was

342
00:31:56.240 --> 00:32:00.640
a little rock and roller, but
you know me, and it was like

343
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.240
I always dig anything that's got something
of substance. But n WA, to

344
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:14.440
me, brought out the scary story
of southern California and the police brutality that

345
00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:21.720
I witnessed in my generation, in
my era. Me being what I look

346
00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:25.519
like and my race. Now here's
the funny thing. You know, It's

347
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:30.559
like I know exactly what the black
community has gone through. You know.

348
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:37.880
It's like cops are gonna beat you. They're gonna persecute you before they even

349
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.480
know who you are. And I
you know, if you look at what

350
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:45.559
I look at, look like you're
gonna think you're you're fullshit. But no,

351
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.559
you know, they didn't like long
hair dudes. They didn't like dudes

352
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.240
that look like me. When I
would flash my idea and they saw my

353
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.759
Latino last name, dude, I
was getting cracked in the head, I

354
00:32:55.880 --> 00:33:00.160
was getting put in cuffs, thrown
in the car, thrown against the are

355
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:05.519
kicked tased just because of my last
name and the way I look. So

356
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:10.599
I understood the hip hop vibration when
they came out to blast what was going

357
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:20.880
down in society with the law,
how the status of our mankind. Look.

358
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:24.160
You're either rich, poor, or
your crap. So I understand that.

359
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:30.319
So hip hop to me is as
great as rock and roll and needs

360
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:35.839
to be at the forefront because these
cats opened the door for a lot of

361
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:42.119
stuff that conservative America was afraid to
talk about because they got sick and tired

362
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.559
of Archie Bunker talking his crap.
You know, at the beginning of the

363
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:50.400
show, we played Straight out of
Compton by NWA, and this is a

364
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:55.559
song that addressed a systemic racism,
police violence, socio economic disparities. And

365
00:33:55.960 --> 00:34:04.839
it's because of NWA and other like
them it allowed for discussions about those issues

366
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:09.159
coming up. It kind of made
them a voice for marginalized communities, you

367
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:14.000
know what I mean. You know, in spite of some of the so

368
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:20.079
called negatives that maybe in the tracks, there was also the coverage of what

369
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:24.159
was going down in the streets of
LA at that time and what was going

370
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:29.960
on in the private sectors in the
in the sectors where you know, moms

371
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.800
and dads and children lived, and
the stuff that was going on behind the

372
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.840
scenes, and not only behind the
scenes with the police department or the political

373
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:42.400
system, but also behind the scenes
with their families. I mean, look,

374
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:46.079
when Tupac started in the late eighties, he drew attention to a lot

375
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.079
of the stuff that he went through, you know, as a kid who

376
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:53.039
went from home to home. Let's
go back a little bit because in the

377
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:55.840
in the U, I would say, mid eighties, I used to listen

378
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.239
to a lot of Power one oh
six and they're the ones that used to

379
00:34:59.360 --> 00:35:01.239
play a lot of the rap songs. There were some other stations that would

380
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:07.440
play the more sensor type of rap. But one of my favorites that came

381
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:12.840
out from the eighties has got to
be L L Cool j Oh. That

382
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.960
cat's like magnified. Yeah. L
L who j was was just such a

383
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:22.280
great artist because he I mean,
nineteen eighty five, his top album was

384
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:27.559
Radio and his song was a song
that we're going to play in just a

385
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.920
little bit and it's I can't live
without my radio and rock the bells.

386
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:34.920
But this is a guy, Yeah, this is a guy who just brought

387
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:37.840
on the You know, he was
only sixteen, by the way, when

388
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:40.119
his debut album was released. Did
you know this six I had? You

389
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:44.599
know what? I did not know
that that cat was Sexy Is album.

390
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:49.760
He's still Sexy Is out exactly.
L L. Cool J. My my

391
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.000
hats off to this guy because he
was one of the guys that I used

392
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:57.320
to listen to and it was just
catchy and everything that he put out there

393
00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.239
in the beginning was just one after
another, big head. And on that

394
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:06.039
note, I'm gonna let you here
L. L. Cool J on the

395
00:36:06.159 --> 00:36:10.360
one and only back to the eighties
radio with his version where he can't live

396
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.920
without his radio, my radio.
Believe me, I like it Loud.

397
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:19.519
I'm a man with a box that
can rock the crowd who walking down the

398
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.760
street and took a hardcore beat by
my JBC by Brakes the compte. Sorry

399
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:29.920
if you can't understand what I need. A radio inside my hand told me

400
00:36:30.159 --> 00:36:32.880
to abandon op sit up saying it, But I kicked my fire your way

401
00:36:34.039 --> 00:36:37.719
back hand. My story is broke, my neighborhood is talking, but I

402
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.800
still sports gold and I'm out to
crushed my day's cool JA I tell a

403
00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:46.199

would have got a summers but I

409
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.760

410
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:19.559
know I can't live without a radio. Songs on my top win a one

411
00:37:19.639 --> 00:37:22.119
of a block. I really don't

00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.400

know I can't live as I'm a radio

452
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.239
Fama's boulevard. Yeah, you know
that for me? He hang out,

453
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:44.880
chul out. You know what I'm
saying. That's where the cribs at.

454
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:07.480
Back to the eighties radio camp,
live without My Radio. That was LLL

455
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:09.599
cool J. If you're just joining
us, we're talking about rappers of the

456
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:14.400
nineteen eighties here with the chang.
We just heard LLL cool J, who

457
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:21.519
was incidentally born James Todd Smith on
January fourteenth, nineteen sixty eight, in

458
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:25.480
Bay Shore, New York. Yeah. His debut at album, as mentioned,

459
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.440
was when he was sixteen. The
single I Need a Beat, which

460
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.119
was released in nineteen eighty four,
became a big, big hip hop hit

461
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:37.199
in the community, and then he
signed with Deaf Jam Records. But then

462
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:45.000
after eighties, after the eighties and
eighty after eighty seven and eighty nine,

463
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:53.800
where he had a very famous song
called Mama Said Knock You Out, actually

464
00:41:53.880 --> 00:41:59.480
released in nineteen ninety written in nineteen
eighty nine, It earned him critical acclaim

465
00:42:00.039 --> 00:42:05.079
it made him a rap icon,
and then in nineteen ninety five he crossed

466
00:42:05.159 --> 00:42:09.280
over. Yeah, he ventured into
acting, appearing in the TV series called

467
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:14.519
in the House. And then of
course in nineteen ninety nine he made a

468
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:20.639
big move where he started in Deep
Blue Sea the movie and he given Sunday,

469
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:24.440
and then he came out in NCIS
Los Angeles. The guy has a

470
00:42:24.599 --> 00:42:29.880
pretty extensive, you know, resume. He had a great sort of comedic

471
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.760
role in a sense. In one
of the Michael Myers Halloween Halloween h twenty,

472
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.239
she took off for clothes, revealing
her set, and he saw femininity,

473
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:43.039
and Lawrence looked at him with lust
in his eyes and said, I

474
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:46.159
want to invade every part of your
being. I want to tantalize myself with

475
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:53.719
your sweet nectar. Oh, and
Tanya laughed at him. You don't expect

476
00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:58.000
me to fall for that shit,
She said, that's right, Vegas.

477
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:00.519
That oh shit, someone s he
canna call you back. No, no,

478
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:02.360
no, no, I hold on. I want to know what stupid

479
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:06.719
line time passible? The same one
you did. Was the movie with Jamie

480
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:10.480
Lee Curtis, and he comes out
as the security guard at the entrance of

481
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:15.639
this private high school. So he's
not the only one who started off as

482
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:21.000
a rapper. He then became a
movie star or has his you know,

483
00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:23.400
made that crossover? There were there
were a few of them. I'm gonna

484
00:43:23.519 --> 00:43:30.400
name you one that we all know
because in nineteen eighty eight, there was

485
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:36.320
a very very popular movie called Colors
and this artist, this artist came out

486
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:43.519
with the theme song to Colors,
and I'm talking about Ice Tea. I

487
00:43:43.719 --> 00:43:46.960
am a nice man, walking psychopath, talking king of my jungle, just

488
00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:51.159
a gangster, stalking, living life, lack of firecracker, quick as my

489
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:54.079
fused, been dead as a death
backs the Colors that you read a bouecause

490
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:58.320
of blood. It just don't matter
stuff and die for your life with my

491
00:43:58.400 --> 00:44:02.079
shotgun scattered? Dude, how could
you not talk about Iced Tea? Iced

492
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:07.360
Tea and Coco is incredible. That
cat has been on everything, That cat

493
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:15.039
started a metal band and kicked ass. Really yeah, oh yeah, bro,

494
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.400
you would know that. Come on, I see you know what the

495
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.639
trippy thing with Iced Tea. I
met Iced Tea on two occasions, one

496
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.880
at Venice Beach when he had Coco
in the video. I don't know if

497
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:30.440
he was banging her or what but
man, she was banging curves and swerves

498
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.679
all the way to the ocean.
Another time I met this cat, I

499
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:42.079
was in East Loss and I was
getting a stereo put in my Toyota four

500
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:45.719
wheel drive. I only had an
eighty four, had it all buffed out,

501
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:51.079
and Ice was getting his Bronco buffed
out. So we were just there

502
00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:54.239
shooting the ship, talking crap about
all kinds of crap, getting our rides

503
00:44:54.280 --> 00:45:00.639
done. The dude was cool,
way cool. I saw the cat chapelle.

504
00:45:00.800 --> 00:45:04.239
He was a hater, a pimp, a player. Ice is the

505
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:10.079
man. You cannot be any nicer
than the Iceer. That's my story on

506
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:15.480
that cap. And but you have
to remember Ice Cube, what about that

507
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:25.400
cat n wa. Look what he's
doing. Family friendly, funny, action

508
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:32.039
hero, straight up gangster. The
dude's all over representing the Raiders, the

509
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:38.719
Lakers, the Cats on midnight TV. The ice Man has cometh. You

510
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:44.920
know what I like Ice uh,
ice Cube so much is because he isn't

511
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.119
one to follow the crowd, if
you know what I mean. There's been

512
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:54.960
a lot of people in the crowd
in in both the music industry and then

513
00:45:55.079 --> 00:46:00.400
the Hollywood industry that follow certain clubs
and they're part of certain clubs, and

514
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:06.559
Ice Cube isn't like that. He
follows his own thing, and unfortunately he

515
00:46:07.079 --> 00:46:12.440
has been the butt of some jokes
as well within that special club because he

516
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.519
doesn't want to join them. Let's
go back to something that came out of

517
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:22.280
rappers and their music, and I
want to talk a little bit about just

518
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:25.880
to kind of brush through. And
by the way, we can't remember all

519
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:30.599
the rappers of the eighties. There's
just been so many, at least not

520
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:35.320
in one part. We might take
the show into a two parter. We'll

521
00:46:35.400 --> 00:46:38.239
see, but I can tell you
that one of the things that came out

522
00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:45.199
of this rap culture was a particular
way of dancing. I'm talking about pop

523
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:50.480
blocking and break dancing, and if
you remember this, this came out of

524
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:55.239
that. And several movies captured the
spirit, the energy, and creativity of

525
00:46:55.360 --> 00:47:00.639
these art forms. And I'm going
to name a few and see if you

526
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.000
saw any of these, because I
remember I did when I was a kid

527
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:09.039
at being a breakdowncer myself back then. But I was looking forward to watching

528
00:47:09.119 --> 00:47:13.360
them. I would love to see
that. Starting with number one, there

529
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.639
was a movie called Wild Style in
nineteen eighty three, and that was actually

530
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:21.159
the pioneer of the films. And
then in nineteen eighty four came the big,

531
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:31.000
big hit called Breaking. In nineteen
eighty four, the competition to that

532
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:36.360
movie was called Beat Street, Beat
Street. The king of the beat to

533
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:39.159
see a rock and that beat from
across the street. Beat Street is a

534
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:43.719
lesson too, because you can't let
the street sea if you. If you

535
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.800
watch these movies, there is so
much great music in them. Going down

536
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:52.119
to eighty four, you had Breaking
two eighty five, you had Crushed Groove,

537
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:55.239
Breaking Through in nineteen eighty five.
So there was a ton of movies

538
00:47:55.360 --> 00:48:00.679
regarding breakdown scene. It just evolved
in today we have breakdown seen that has

539
00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:04.880
evolved so much. Breakdancing today is
nothing like it was. It's so much

540
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:08.320
more difficult and much more elaborate.
We gotta give it up for the ones

541
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.960
who started it all. You know, Well, it's a funny thing you

542
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:20.199
bring that up. My daughter's mother, my ex her brothers were members of

543
00:48:20.360 --> 00:48:27.039
the La Breakers and came out in
those low budget breaking movies of the eighties.

544
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:31.480
I remember cruising on wood Your boulevard
back in the eighties and seeing cats

545
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:36.719
bring out their beat boxes, falling
down carpet and spinning around and all this

546
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.800
kind of crazy crap. And I
used to trip out on that because it

547
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:45.760
was like, look how coordinated these
cats are, Look how physically in tune

548
00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:51.400
these cats are. But I used
to get angry, changry because I would

549
00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:55.039
say, why are these cats wearing
leather and studs? But then they're listening

550
00:48:55.079 --> 00:49:01.320
to that. Breaking is an art
that I would love to see nowadays in

551
00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:05.079
the magnitude that we did in the
eighties. I'll tell you what a noo

552
00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:09.039
that we're talking about break dancing.
Here's one of the most famous songs that

553
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:13.960
I used to break dance too.
And we're gonna take a little break here

554
00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:25.880
on the one and only back to
the eighties. Enjoy m Yeah, you

h. Back to the eighties radio. Oh you gotta love the rap man

626
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:22.760
that rap. In the beginning,
we've been talking about rappers, rap music

627
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.159
and everything that goes along with it
from the nineteen eighties, from nineteen eighty

628
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.559
to nineteen eighty nine. But now, ladies and gentlemen, and it is,

629
00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:34.679
as it is customary on our Back
to the Eighties radio show, it

630
00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:40.079
is time to talk about changers.
That's right, things from the eighties that

631
00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:45.960

638
00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:22.840
nineteen eighties. There was more seeds
and stems and weed than I buy now.

639
00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:29.199
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
has been this week's changers. If

bad Babe, say just the booker to

00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:51.639
favorite record store. Chang We're coming
to the home stretch of the day here

654
00:59:51.719 --> 00:59:53.519
on the show. You know,
we talked about it a little bit earlier

655
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:57.639
we're not gonna be able to mention
all the rappers from the nineteen eighties,

656
00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:01.239
so we might just take this into
who Apart two for next week. But

657
01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:07.280
in the meantime, let me talk
to you about one of my favorite,

658
01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:13.159
if not my favorite group of rappers
from the eighties, because I spent most

659
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:17.159
time listening to them, listening to
how they went up against their parents because

660
01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:25.039
they didn't let them party, because
they were the skater kids turned rockers turned

661
01:00:25.239 --> 01:00:32.880
punkers turned rappers with their top album
of all time from nineteen eighty six called

662
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:39.119
License to Ill. I'm talking about
the Beastie Boys. Those cats laid it

663
01:00:39.159 --> 01:00:45.559
down ball They were questioned on so
many levels. Then they bust out jamming

664
01:00:45.639 --> 01:00:50.800
on instruments like crazy ass punkers,
spreading the word, talking crap, letting

665
01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:53.519
people know what the hell is up. Beastie Boys legit all the way.

666
01:00:54.119 --> 01:00:59.000
If you're gonna party on whatever,
you're gonna party back in the eighties with

667
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:04.599
the Beastie Boys, I don't remember
going to any backyard party without the Beastie

668
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:09.840
Boys getting blasted them and madness.
Those white boys were badass cats, you

669
01:01:09.920 --> 01:01:15.360
know what's cool. So there was
a big movement in the eighties when big

670
01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:21.199
bass started coming around rap and big
bass, and that was the mini truck

671
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:27.280
movement, remember that. So many
trucks. Yeah, so these are those,

672
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:31.079
you know, the little pickup trucks, the little pickup trucks that were

673
01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:37.400
usually they put some custom wheels,
they were lower to the ground. The

674
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:40.800
whole back of the bed was probably
speakers, and every time they'd go through

675
01:01:40.880 --> 01:01:45.639
your neighborhood, your windows would rattle
in your house whenever they would come around.

676
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:50.039
I always used to know. There
was one truck from a group back

677
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:55.119
then in Whittier and in Centfa Spring
called Modern Image and very popular Mini truck

678
01:01:55.280 --> 01:02:00.480
Yeah, Mini Truck Club, and
they used to blast the beast Boys.

679
01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.960
The Beastie Boys had a song that
was called Paul Revere. This was the

680
01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:09.480
very first song where we got to
hear backward bass. So if you ever

681
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:15.679
heard bass from a rap song,
well this was based but backwards. It's

682
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:19.960
like backmasking the bass and it was
never done before. And this song was

683
01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:24.920
revolutionary and no sleep Kill Brooklyn.
I mean, these dudes were like rock,

684
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:30.360
hip hop, rock and roll.
I mean these guys were like white

685
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:35.079
boys on coke and a black neighborhood
the Beastie Boys like Wail, they like

686
01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.960
tore it apart. They were like, I'm divorced for two years of my

687
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:45.119
son lost his mind. While he's
a beastie boy. My son hangs around

688
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:49.679
with everybody in the bad culture.
Then he's a beastie boy. Punk rock

689
01:02:49.960 --> 01:02:52.880
and hip hop met with the Beastie
boys, straight up rock and you know

690
01:02:52.960 --> 01:02:57.960
what. And then later on in
the eighties we got a different version.

691
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:01.960
Rap was starting to evolve, and
then we had a lot of the lady

692
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:08.079
rappers, you know, groups like
Salt and peppap you know. And then

693
01:03:08.119 --> 01:03:20.400
you have groups from England like Delas
Souls from Grandmaster Flashes Revolutionary Scratches to Salt

694
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.599
and Peppa's empowering anthems. Here back
to the eighties, we've only scratched the

695
01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:28.960
surface of these legends. So what
can I tell you? Don't let the

696
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:32.719
beat stop here. Explore their albums, dive into their stories, discover how

697
01:03:32.840 --> 01:03:38.800
their their rhythms filled, and continue
to resonate today's musical landscape. And then

698
01:03:39.239 --> 01:03:43.559
what I want us to do is
take this into a part two and talk

699
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:47.159
continue to talk about this next week. And also I want us to touch

700
01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:52.519
you briefly on how it all changed
because music did evolve, music did change,

701
01:03:52.840 --> 01:04:00.440
and how commercialization changed rap music into
what it is today. Very different,

702
01:04:00.480 --> 01:04:03.039
man, very very different. Even
the older rappers go like, what

703
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.880
the heck is going on today?
A lot of them can't say it because

704
01:04:08.119 --> 01:04:11.480
they want to look good in the
eyes of everybody, But there's some out

705
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:15.800
there who don't give a crud.
Yeah, and they'll talk about it.

706
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.719
Let's go ahead and call it a
part two for next week, so we

707
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:24.880
invite you to join us on a
part two journey of rappers of the nineteen

708
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:29.880
eighties. So that's it for today. So on behalf of myself Toscano.
