Episode 43: The Get Down (Hip Hop's Pioneers) Vol. 1

08/19/21 • 61 min

In 1979 most of the world was late to the party on a brand new musical genre which would be known as Hip Hop. Encompassing vocal toasting known as rap and the art of using turntables in a style that has never been seen or heard before, this new sound quickly took over the world.

This is a collection of hip hop pioneers who made an impression on me in those early days.
From Kool Herc to GrandMaster Flash, this was Hip Hop!

Featuring Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, King Tim III, Funky 4 + 1, Crash Crew, The Sequence, and many more!

Episode 44: BMS Soul and Samples/A Hip Hop Songbook

Welcome to the show BMS listeners. This episode crosses the avenues of Soul and Hip Hop. During the late ’80s and throughout the ’90s on what many call the golden age of hip hop. Many rappers dipped into their parent’s old record collections and sourced classic and some not so classic records to use as samples on their own recordings. One of the bedrock loops was James Brown’s ‘Funky Drummer’. We delve into James and his entourage as well as many other great soul artists; which became the inspiration for Eric B. & Rakim, Stetsasonic, Eric Sermon, Tribe Called Quest, Biggy Smalls, and others.

This Episode will feature, Kool & The Gang, Curtis Mayfield, George McCrea, Marvin Gaye, and many others.
