i don't understand what that means
i do not eat candies. candy is BAD for you in more ways than you may know.
i grew up right outside of the BX (well, a 1/2 hr drive away, but close enuff)... all the great old school pioneers performed and threw parties at the community center right around the corner from where I lived. as far as actually going to parties right in the bronx, harlem world, etc... i guess around 1979 or maybe 80
i'm not a big sneaker head, so i dunno.. anything that don't make my size 14 feet look duck-like, i guess
hard to say because it wasn't even known as hip hop back then, it was just going to parties. i guess the 1st time i really took notice that it was becoming more of a show than just a regular party with the way the mcs were performing and the deejays turning it into a spectacle was i guess sometime in 1978. Possibly 1977, but i think it was more like 78. that's when ifirst heard about these old records that people were playing just for the beats, like Bongo Rock, Apache etc
I guess DLB, but Tito is a bad muthafutha too
the royal blue joints
british... my feet too big for most o' that schitt anyway
thanks. i agree
at that time it was LL, Kane, Rakim, Moe Dee, Biz even... but everybody was an influence when you get right down to it. at the end of the day, though, i feel like Frankie baby... i did it my way
no
if the people listening today don't feel like anything is missing, then i guess it's goin' down the way its supposed to. at this point i don't even critique what dudes are doing today... if it's what the people want then they are absolutely doing what they should be doing, whether people like me or people from my era can get with it or not.
talented tenth could probably answer that better than me.... i don't really know
nobody is wack to me if they have a following and they're doing their thing, whatever that may be. i don't have to like it or think that what they do is a great example of emceeing, but as long as somebody out there is getting what they're doing then it's not wack IMO.
now, if you think that answer is
nay (unless elise has freckles... then it's yay all day
all the marvel classics from the 60s... everything by Jack Kirby, a lot of Steve Ditko, then later Jim Steranko and dudes like Paul Gulacy. Into the 80s it was all about the X-Men... i was a BIG John Byrne fan. Frank Miller was my guy, though... he was TOTALLY
the old school joints? nah. i'm looking for one, though... anybody sellin' one, hollur. i got $$$
i'm sure many, but one i can think of is smoke "rising" for $60 at wfmu. i went up there to meet some people, i wasn't supposed to be buying anything. but i saw this one dealer had the invaders "spacing out" og for $30... of course i couldn't pass that up. he had the smoke lp too, and i knew i should've gotten it, but i tried to be good and not buy anything other than the invaders lp.
yay. white or green.
no opinion... mad respect to the beatbox dudes though. i like em all
no idea... i guess i have to leave that up to others to say. i know i've made almost NO contributions locally here in Philly, so if i did anything it would be on a global level. all i can say is that i am always very humbled whenever i find out that some dude who is truly a big dude knows about me and some of teh stuff i've done and gives me respect... i am always very surprised by that and i gotta admit, it warms the cockles of my heart
btw, am i getting paid for this?
