I'd like to meet:
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE SEEN FLASH ON A BEATBOX? WITHOUT A TURNTABLE TURNING?!
JUST MAKING, ROCKING AND SHOCKING BEATS LIVE????
__________________________________________________________
HOW MANY OF YOU WERE OUT IN THE PARK, ITS SUMMER, ITS HOT, AND ITS LOUD! ON LONG ISLAND, A TOWN CALLED WYNDANCH, IN THE VILLAGE OF BABYLON; DJ PLEASURE CRUMBLED OUR BODIES AND MINDS WITH HIS SOUND SYSTEM (TALKIN MAD RASTA BASS PEOPLE!) BLARING THE BASS OF THINGS WE NEVER HEARD BEFORE LIKE WE ARE "THE ROBOTS" BY KRAFTWERK! BROTHERS AND SISTAS WERE LOSING OUR MINDS AND TWISTING AND FREAKING THEIR BODIES! MIXES LATER...SPEED UP TO KAREN YOUNGS HOT SHOT HOT SHOT HOT! AND ONCE THAT BREAK CAME IN HE WOULD CUT IT/SCRATCH IT/FUNK IT/CHANGE IT/WHIP IT...AND SINCE KAREN STOPPED SINGING...AND THE BREAK WAS ON...THE MCS CAME IN! BAMMMM! DIFFERENT FLOWS OF MOSTLY HIGH POWERED STREET GRIME STREET RHYME TO ABOUT 130 BEATS PER MINUTE FOLKS!
___________________________________________________
MCS WOULD GO, FLOW, AND PASS THE MIC, INCLUDING TO THE MASTER RAKIM! BIZ MARKIE TOO! LL COOL J WAS OUT THERE! THIS WAS THEIR PLAYGROUND! ALONG WITH MANY MANY OTHER DOPE MCS AND DJS! SOME OF THE WORLDS BEST CAME OUT OF LONG ISLAND, AND IN PARTICULAR THE VILLAGE OF BABYLON, which included 4 or 5 towns all connected by location and buzz! LL COOL J, RAKIM/ERIC B, DE LA SOUL, EPMD, K SOLO, JVC FORCE, OXYGEN (AKA JONZHAFT THE PSYCOPATH) FREDDIE FOX, BIZ MARKIE, to name a FEW UNIQUE TALENTS out of MANY, but this ain't a hip hop page, so ---------------------------point is HIP HOP at the time WAS ALL ABOUT DA NEW, DA DIFFERENT! THE WHAT U GOT THAT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT?! AND BEATS PER MINUTES WERE REGGAE SLOW TO REAL FAST DISCO! IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE TRACKS! THE DANCE!! THE MIXX!! WE SHOWED & SHARED IN A SUPER COMPETITIVE PEACEFUL WAY!!!! DJS WOULD BATTLE FOR TURNTABLES AND EQUIPMENT YO!! SO WHEN YOU CAME OUT YOU HAD TO COME OUT WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT/UNIQUE...BECAUSE IF IT WAS THE SAME OLE THING THE HARDCORE NY PUBLIC WAS JUST NOT HAVIN IT! YA BETTER COME WITH YOUR OWN ORIGINAL SONGS AND STYLE(S) and THAT leads to ORIGINALITY AND GROWTH...(FAST FWD TO Q BERT AND ALL TURNTABLISTS) VS COMMERCIAL MUSIC DJS!
__________________________________________________________ SAME SONGS ON TV, ON RADIO ALL DAY, AND I GOTTA HEAR THAT SAME SHIT (GOOD OR NOT? VOODOO IS NOT JUDGING HIT MUSIC) BUT IF ITS ON TV, IF I HEAR IT ON THE RADIO OFTEN, IF I HEARD IT IN MY CAR ON THE WAY TO THE CLUB...WHY DA FUNK WOULD I PAY TO GET IN AND WANT TO HEAR IT SOME MORE??
GIVE US DA NEW!!!!!!!!! THE WHAT YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE!
LIKE THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER WENT IN A CLUB! MUSIC WAS WOW WHATS THAT? WELL thats what ELBEE BAD MAKES in VOODOO and what he (basically) spins! IN TRADITION OF THE ORIGINALS! FOR HE IS A PRODUCT OF THE ORIGINALS!
VOODOO GWAN NO MAN COPY SEEN?!!_____________________________________________________
