In absolutely perfect news for the #FiftyYearsOfHipHop weekend, Ms5 took out first place in the regional under-8s Hip Hop Dancing competition.
She danced to Missy Elliot's Work It 😵
The other kids were twice her size, she's just a little dot. -
I went looking for a link to Missy Elliott’s All N My Grill on my subscription streamer. Really digging listening to it again but then an American male rapper starts in English! Big Boi? Where’s MC Solaar en français? Turns out I had a European version of the CD back in the day. 😆 That’s a global music empire tailored to local circumstance. Well played. Here’s the European version.

Last one: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. That thing. That thing. That thing.

There was an intense huddle at a table in the college canteen one morning in First Year. When I sat down it turned out it was De La Soul’s Three Feet High and Rising on vinyl was being passed around reverently, the outer and inner sleeve being pored over. That LP cover though: punk and hippie and very Hip Hop. Something very new had arrived. 🌼

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

The Beasties’ Sure Shot is one of my all time favourite tracks. Their run of albums - Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, and Ill Communication - is kind of my college years soundtracked, from leaving school through to a summer in the US on student work visa. Good times with the Beasties.

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

One of the college mates I was living with in Berlin, had Ice-T on the stereo all the time. As a Metaller he also had the new Bodycount album. There was Hip Hop and Head Banging (I had a lot of hair then). He’s died since and Ice-T always reminds me of that place then.

My favourite Arrested Development track is Revolution from the Malcolm X soundtrack. Speech’s social media presence is one of the few things I miss from the Other Site. I found this more recent live version on YouTube and it is a track meant to be engaged with live.

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

Rapper’s Delight by Sugar Hill Gang is the first rap song I heard. It was on the jukebox in the local pizza joint

Another #JukeboxFridayNight for #FiftyYearsOfHipHop and this is from the Beastie Boys. Not their first record and not the one where they went punk.
Paul's Boutique blew my mind the first time through. On my Walkman (with those orange foam padded headphones), they kicked in every musical door available. Even now it holds a special place in history.
If a Steve McQueen movie could be a song, it would be High Plains Drifter by the Beastie Boys: https://youtu.be/WVIbke4NTrg

More #JukeboxFridayNight with #FiftyYearsOfHipHop picks. It hurts my feelings how long we were without De La Soul but I am SO glad they're back for all to hear. Again I don't give you the obvious, here's De La Soul with A Rollerskating Jam Named Saturdays: https://youtu.be/9S5lTgyfT2c

Bomb The Bass (Feat. Justin Warfield)
Bug Powder DustWHAT a track! Interesting side trivia: Justin Warfield was in several episodes of Saved By The Bell. More recently, Tim Simenon was running a meatball-centred bistro in Prague.

Blackalicious
Paragraph PresidentDon't get distracted by Frodo's cover of Alphabet Aerobics. Gift Of Gab was an MC of truly extraordinary talent. Watching him do this stuff live was a wonder to behold.

50 years ago tonight in south bronx, what is commonly known as where the birth of hip-hop occurred, with dj kool herc starting up the first of his parties in the rec-room of a housing project.
this is an important moment in the history of dj'ing, because really this is where it all began - on two turntables kool herc invented beat juggling, playing classic records like "amen brother" by the winstons or "apache" by the incredible bongo band, but only playing the breakdowns, and going back and forth between double copies of the record to give an elongated track of just the breakbeat, while hopping on the mic and giving shoutouts to the people in the room - an old jamaican tradition known as "toasting."
from this point forward the art of dj'ing would forever change into what we know now as hip-hop.
