Turns out I’m only a couple of years older than Hip Hop. It’s literally the novel musical form of my generation then. Sometime in the very early ‘90s, a mate at college spent his summer in NY. He came back with this C90 tape of Hip Hop mixes for me. Schooly D, Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J. And of course Eric B and Rakim: Don’t Sweat The Technique #HipHop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop #JukeBoxFridayNight #ErikBAndRakim

Bear with me this is a nostalgic skip though my 20s. Tribe Called Quest - massive debut album People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm. The singles were huge. But lots else going on on that LP. #HipHop50 #FiftyYearsOfHipHop #JukeBoxFridayNight #TribeCalledQuest #QTip https://songwhip.com/a-tribe-called-quest/rhythm-devoted-to-the-art-of-moving-butts

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

One of the college mates I was living with in Berlin, had Ice-T on the stereo all the time. As a Metaller he also had the new Bodycount album. There was Hip Hop and Head Banging (I had a lot of hair then). He’s died since and Ice-T always reminds me of that place then.

The Beasties’ Sure Shot is one of my all time favourite tracks. Their run of albums - Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, and Ill Communication - is kind of my college years soundtracked, from leaving school through to a summer in the US on student work visa. Good times with the Beasties.

My favourite Arrested Development track is Revolution from the Malcolm X soundtrack. Speech’s social media presence is one of the few things I miss from the Other Site. I found this more recent live version on YouTube and it is a track meant to be engaged with live.

There was an intense huddle at a table in the college canteen one morning in First Year. When I sat down it turned out it was De La Soul’s Three Feet High and Rising on vinyl was being passed around reverently, the outer and inner sleeve being pored over. That LP cover though: punk and hippie and very Hip Hop. Something very new had arrived. 🌼

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.

Bodycount was my gateway band into Metallica and Marilyn Manson...

Great music is great music!

@MarkMaguire I mean I saw Wu and Cypress Hill in the 90s but never met any of em. Met Boots Riley in the 2000s though, probably like 15-20 years ago. Chuck D is another LEVEL the dude is a legend. I'm a huge PE fan. Beasties too. Never saw either. Hearing this new Billy Woods album, at least 2 PE references and he really reminds me of Chuck. 🔥

@jake4480 Yeah, Chuck D is on some other level. In a way I think he is actually quite suited to the time we’re in. He handles social media like a new stage and he’s drawing and putting out art books. Legend.

@MarkMaguire right? He's just so genius about the way he goes about it. He's fearless. The whole thing. Inspiring
