0:00

All right, So Junior checked this out, Tommy, Shirley

0:02

Monica. It's the fiftieth anniversary

0:04

of hip hop. Okay,

0:07

so we've been celebrating all year. So I guess what

0:09

nineteen seventy three, This is twenty twenty

0:11

three, so yeah,

0:13

you know, just hip.

0:14

Hop been around since seventy three, yeah,

0:17

seventy three.

0:18

Yeah. So it's just like what Biggie

0:21

said, you never thought hip hop would take

0:23

it this far coast

0:25

right, west, coast, dirty south,

0:27

Midwest, all around the world.

0:29

So I'm gonna tell you my top hip

0:31

hop pioneers.

0:33

So I guess we'll start off, you

0:35

know, like we said, Tommy, my

0:38

first hip hop song, Sugarhill

0:40

Gang.

0:41

That's the first one I heard. Rappers delight right,

0:43

Rappers delight right. That was

0:46

party song that said

0:49

hip hop exactly. Yeah,

0:51

jump rhythm, look at

0:53

you, Okay,

0:57

I got it. Yeah. But then I

0:59

bought that out exactly from

1:01

sound waves about it from sound

1:04

waves raves in Houston,

1:06

Texas.

1:07

So from there, though, when you heard that song,

1:09

then it got real serious. The message

1:12

broken glass everywhere, you

1:15

know, it was. To me, that was

1:17

a moment, Mellie mel that was

1:19

a moment that hip hop I

1:22

guess it was a telling real life social

1:24

issues. It was telling a story for the have nots

1:27

and breaking down you know, what was

1:30

really going on. So you had this party

1:32

rappers of light. Then it got serious. So that's

1:34

to me how it all started, this hip

1:36

hop thing. And then we're gonna go into Run

1:38

Run d C. That's

1:42

for me number two. You know, you had your B

1:44

boys stance ready, but they

1:46

were a movement, and I think for me Run

1:48

DMC the importance

1:51

of what they were doing. It wasn't just about

1:53

them rapping. It wasn't just about the MC. They

1:56

showed how important the DJ was,

2:00

you know what I'm saying. That's when we got exposed.

2:02

To do

2:05

you know, they're like one of the first groups to cross over

2:07

into doing songs with rock star

2:09

right Eryl Smith. They

2:12

were doing a man.

2:14

They were a movement, and then we got to see their videos,

2:16

you know, on TV and Adidas

2:18

and what they were wearing. So Run DMC,

2:20

and then we can go back to Tupac. Women love

2:23

Tupac, and Tupac did what he wanted

2:25

to do. The poetry, his message

2:28

thug life tatted on his chest, so I mean

2:30

he wrapped keep your head up was

2:33

dedicated to you. Yeah,

2:40

let me get this out. My female and

2:43

Pepper's here get you.

2:48

Yes, and what a man? What a

2:50

man?

2:53

Yeah, the female MC Salt and Pepper.

2:56

Every party back in the eighties

2:59

you had have on Salt and Peppa.

3:02

They were like the first to me, the first all

3:04

female hip hop group that hit it big,

3:07

you know, in a male dominating genre

3:09

type music. And then finally,

3:12

I'm just gonna close it out with jay

3:14

Z Biggie

3:16

and the rapper's favorite rapper,

3:19

the r rock Kim because I

3:21

think.

3:22

Did you not mention ice Cube on this whole

3:24

thing? We

3:28

got to talk about all of this. Yeah, so we can

3:31

do part two. We can talk. Don't be doing

3:33

what I mentioned in ice Cube, L

3:36

L Doctor Dre. We

3:38

got snoop. We come on

3:41

now, snoop for me.

3:46

My list?

3:46

Tell me got a little attu about my list? Did but

3:50

on your list? That don't make no sense to me? I'm sorry,

3:54

Well I cut it off. I cut it off.

3:55

So I put J Biggie Rack

3:58

Kim because I think that the rappers

4:00

look up to rack Camp. He transitioned

4:03

how they rhyme. If you ask

4:05

any rapper, I bet you he's like number

4:07

one, Big

4:09

Daddy Caye. We could keep going on and on, but that's

4:11

it. Fiftieth anniversary and hip hop. You know, it

4:14

gets heated every time we talk about hip

4:17

hop music. But happy anniversary

4:19

to hip hop, Thank y'all, Steve, Happy

4:21

Morning Show. By the

4:24

death certificate, you

4:28
