I remember... she’s right. Black djs would not play rap back in the day except the young ones. Thats how the change of the guard happened
Facts!!!
That's why Mr. Magic from WBLS in New York was the father of hip hop radio.
Wow...I grew up in the 70's and love hearing these stories from people who were there.
I remember ordering 12 singles for our record store in Houston, Texas SoundWaves(look it up). This is when they used to mail you the list and you could call them and order all the titles old and new from the catalog. If I remember right I used to talk to Tom Silverman directly.
Peace and blessings from Saudi Arabia! What a privilege to to see you're still keen on the culture.
Am I correct in stating that DJ premier worked at sound wave also and you too were once friends?
Dope
@@carloslynch3357 Yes that is correct. I got him the job there. He worked there until he left to N.Y. That's how he ended with the Wild Pitch deal through my talks with Stu Fine the owner.
Peace thank you for the confirmation! DJ premier always shouts you out! Stay blessed.
Rest in power to Frankie Crocker and Mr. Magic.
This is just an amazing overview of the 80s music scene. I was a big fan of Kraftwerk’s Computer World album from 1981 (a fan of them since Autobahn in 1974) and to hear their German music get translated into Planet Rock just amazed me. I always wondered what the inflection point was from electro funk to more stuff like Force MDs on Tommy Boy… this interview with Ms. Lynch really brought everything into focus. Thanks so much for this truly historical document 👍🏽🔥🎵
Who remembers "NYC Hottraxx" that use to come on TV, I think it was on channel 4 Friday or Saturday nights??? They were showing hip hop videos long before BET and MTV.
1982 to 1983 i used to watch dat
I remember
Melle mell talks about how groups like earth wind and fire and others use to look down on hip hop..its a well known fact that the bougie r&b and disco crowd hated on hip hop heads..funny thing is r&b groups turned hip hop later on in the 90s
Do you think that's because hip hop was seen as not musical. Most rappers or djs were not trained musicians by trade and the whole sampling other black music some saw as theft rather then homage.
Hypocrites lol
Tender Love was a super dope song!
Force M.D.'s, baby = that song was in the "Krush Groove" soundtrack
Her perspective on the pre 80s climate of rap music & it's beginning the very real struggle artists & promoters, etc went through to get radio play & spark mainstream acceptance of Rap music is excellent content & I'm just a little over 3 mins into the interview.
!!! 💯💪🏽💯 !!!

She is talking about Hip Hop culture not being established by 1981...but what she really meat to say was RAP MUSIC.

Remembers the opening segment to Sir Mix A Lot's video for Posse on Broadway regarding radio stations not playing Hip-Hop....
Maaaaan.....smdh. Ok I remember there promos for De La's albums. And I also remember certain albums and EPs NOT being released. I was down Howard U 830AM playin all rap shit cuz DC RADIO rarely played HIP HOP. It was a black out for like a yr or 2....those was there crazy days. Preciate you for this rite here #Kraze

This was really a great interview Kraze. You finessed mad info out of her under the premise of focusing on STET. Lol

Wu Tang Clan's GZA said, "Tommy ain't my motherfing boy".
That's because they had a chance to sign the entire Clan but couldn't see the vision and let them slip right out of the palm of their hands.
I also remember Africa Islam and the Zulu Beats.
I do to
Man she was a hard interview...I can just feel your struggle with it lol
Really? How comes? No diss just a serious question
Really? I think she did her thing
How? She was spitting out information without him needing to pry it out of her. Huh?
Sounds like the guy is eating his dinner in the background
And coughing?? 😬
Planet rock rocked the world
The Force MDs were GOOD especially back in the day and I just hope that they didn't get screwed out of a lot of 💰 like the majors were doing at the time.
Who killed Tommy's boy?
Really great interview. Real history here. but damn, your levels made it hard to hear her. I'm here for the lesson, i could pass on the instrumental midi's.
Back in the day You got rap Friday and Saturday night from 8-12..that's it! !
It was 9 to 12...
J.B What up?
What up
Chillin
First of all They didn't say " What is this rap thing" They said " What is this rap SHIT....I remember...
In the end, they wound up ripping off their artists and then folded. Pretty convenient if you ask me. Someone got rich and bailed.
Tommy Boy is actually still around!
That label fuck over de la soul house of pain naughty by nature coolio on their third LP's coolio said it himself.
Who were the gatekeepers ? Again we come up with a new music we bring it to the establishment and get jerked no equity meaning publishing, small royalties rate when do we learn ?Monica Lynch please

It sucks he had such a presence in the infancy of the culture.

Krush Groove > ET
Rappers delight stole that song that's not hiphop

Because Big Bank Hank stole his verses from Grandmaster Caz from the BX.
The weak ass planet Rock version was playing too loud during the interview turn that shit down
