When did I fall in love w/ Hip Hop? Good question. White Lines - Grandmaster Flash 1983. Beat Box - The Art Of Noise 1984. Hearing “Shout by Tears For Fears being mixed with “Flashlight by Parliament at a Maryland Club party at Howard University in 1985. “Paid In Full” is released by Eric B. & Rakim in 1987. My cousin, Christophe Hinton let me borrow his tape - which I proceeded play over and over again. I think I kept his, and bought him a new copy. “Rapper Dapper Snapper” - Edwin Birdsong 1980 ( Audrey Waller probably still thinks I am crazy for trying to transcribe the lyrics in summer school ). Working at WLFR - Lake Fred Radio at Stockton College & meeting Sure-Rock Holmes. The Show / La-Di-Da-Di - Doug E. Fresh & The Get Fresh Crew - 1985. “A.J. Scratch” - Kurtis Blow 1984. The Summer of 1986: Raising Hell - Run-D.M.C & “License To Ill” - The Beastie Boys. The Native Tongues collective ( Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest and Black Sheep ). Honorable Mention - seeing Public Enemy, Eric B. & Rakim, L.L. Cool J., and Stetsasonic live in the Spectrum w/ Rick Hall.
