sonic1988

I just wanted to find something to write about from after the release of Wilsdtyle (in 1982) to Yo! MTV Raps (in 1988). It was too many years to skip. I just decided to write about "Walk This Way" by Run-DMC to fill the gap.

I got another question: what was the airdate for the first episode of Yo! MTV Raps? also any random stuff that occured after 1982 (the release of wildstyle). and finally, some info on JJFP's first rap grammy. (like: did they win the protest, who protested, etc.)

Thanks Lerkot. I put those three in in my essay.

I haven't noticed anyone new, but I tend not to notice anyone until their 400th post or so anyway, lol.

:lol: I've noticed that some other forums I belong to have been hacked and Spam has been posted and stuff like that. ......I wonder if these people get paid to do this? wait......I just found out they do!!!! CLICK HERE AND YOU MAY WIN 1 MILLION DOLLARS

what is the official artist and title of the King Tim III song? Also, does anyone know when it came out? All I know is that it was before Sugarhill gang's Rappers Delight. If you have any other info about this time, let me know I'm doing my midterm for college writing and I'm doing mine on the history of Rap.

Just posting this to let you know there is going to be a JDRF walk I'm participating in at my college. I'm trying to raise 100 bucks, I've been asking people in my building to sponser me. And there is also a online donation procedure as well, and if any of you want to contribute a few bucks, I'd appericiate it. http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=86528975 also, check out http://walk.jdrf.org to see if there is a walk you can participate in as well.

okay, yeah that does make sense. Bambaataa's statement is scattered a little bit, so I had a few "Wtf?" moments while reading that. But I have to say that if the times change and become more liberal, possibly to the point they were back in the 60s, then rap will become a driving force for the people. The problem is that the times right now are very conservative and people don't want to protest and rally. Rap can be a driving force for protest, in the same manner of Joan Baez, Peter Paul & Mary, and Bob Dylan. With the internet, and the rap culture thinking "protest is cool", we can make a lot of changes, and people can get their voices heard. But it really depends on how soon the times will change. Because there is truth in that. Reaggae has been political and given political change, and So has rock. Its now rap's turn to do the same.

*scrolls up* :lol:

yeah that's true, but: how is the media trying to destroy hip hop? and where does that white supremacy thing come from?

You should just basically say "F--- off!" to them if they are being like that. They aren't worth your time. from the sound of things, you are in High school (and by looking at your b-day on your profile, you are in the last year of high school). Trust me, when you reach college is gets a lot easier. High school is basically 4 years of hell and acne and then you are home free.

That last paragraph doesn't exactly make sense. Hip-hop isn't being destroyed? People are making millions off of rap records. Why would someone want to destroy that? If rap lyrics were more along the lines of Rage Against the Machine's lyrics, I'd understand that, but in the state its in now, that doesn't make sense. Also, where does that white supremacy thing come from? That really threw me off.

sweet!! I got $140 saved up so far......

lol, that's great back in the day I thought I'd never get that out of my head, lol.

Yeah, its like the code red pictures.. just hangin back there.. lol, you look real bummed out, you look like "ho hum, I'm just hanging out with Jazzy Jeff.", lol uh oh........

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple the song that wwwwaaaayyy to many people play in guitar stores, :lolsign:

thanks for the b-day wishes ya'll. I appericate it. Today has been pretty bland, but this weekend I'm going to be doing a lot of hanging out with my friends, so that's when the fun will begin.

damn it, its still October 5 over here, lol. One cool thing is that I got monday off, so its a long weekend for me :) and the happy b-day thread in general could work, but how could it be pulled off, like a monthly thing? It would be kind of confusing.

:word:

umm... on the second part, right after Will mentions the movie script, for some reason the clip changed to something else, can anyone tell me what Will said after that part? The interview is cool. Thanks for giving us the link.

yeah, the i-pod is cool. My only complaint is that you have to ahve it plugged into the comp to recharge it, and the wall connector is about 35 bucks.

*cough* Spencer *cough* :lolsign:
