They could've talked about Dre's early days in the World Class Wreckin' Cru and all the dances that came out at that time like the "Cabbage Patch" and the "Running Man," etc. (That would've been a cool little segment). AND WHAT'S UP WITH NANN MENTION OF RODNEY O & JOE COOLEY? Matter 'fact, they could've touched on KDAY and the impact it had on radio back in the '80s, how it was the first 24 hour rap radio station (and it was based in Los Angeles). Did they talk about the different social awareness movements like "Self Destruction/Stop The Violence" movement in the East and "We're All In The Same Gang" movement in the West? I tuned in kind of late. [Edited 10/8/04 15:35pm] That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. No Toddy T ("Batterram"), Low Profile (WC's first crew), KDAY (heartbreaking), etc... It sucks they didn't get their due, but oh well, so long as people like yourself KNOW what time it is. WESTSIIIIDE!!!!! HAHA! Yeah, Yeah! "Batterram" was the jam. As was Rodney O & Joe Cooley "Everlasting Bass," True Mathematics "For The Money", Bobby Jimmy & The Critters "Knuckle Draggers," "Big Butt," "Rockberry Jam," etc. Hey, you know KDAY is back on the air in L.A. -- 93.5 FM. They're still in the inaugural stage with just music and commercials, but they're going to launch with real DJs in a few weeks. | |

When the tempo slowed down and it started sounding like talking over a stripped down beat, I was the first to throw rocks at it. And when it totally took over to where that's all you hear and no more good music is being made because everyone is following that trend, I began hoping it would die. vainandy, was that you who's signature read something like: 'may you live to see the death of Hip-Hop'? I meant to tell you that I feel you on that and that 'Hip-Hop' did die! Long ago...  | |
