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

@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
