    I love your reaction to the scratching. It proves that record execs do not understand our creative musical sensibilities.
    Old school rappers have stated in recent years how the industry would ask them about the DJ, wondering " What does he do?". When explained, execs just didn't see the usefulness of the DJ only to drop them from their own group in favor of a record producer and cutting cost. They only wanted the lyricist(s), while the other element they felt was important was the music itself. So, many artists had to fight to keep their DJs.

Eric B. & Rakim "I Ain't No Joke" came on and ivwas like WHO THE FU¢K IS THAT ? My friend said Rakim. I went to Sound Warehouse records that day and bought the album and cassette. I saw them in 1988 at the Dope Jam Tour and again in 2018.

  • @afrolanticanjurisprudence8849

    let me tell you how videos used to "premiere" like movies, and how we went ape-shit when we saw flav cameo, because there werent really squads before where one group supported another. that's chuck d and terminator x (public enemy) sitting with them on jungle gym. strong island posse (long island, ny) included acts like epmd and k-solo. ...... rakim's style ushered in the beats and rhyme era 86-92 when lyrics were supposed to poetically ride the rhythm. please listen to his "check out my melody". when they dropped "eric b is president", it was never the same lyrically again. run-dmc was dope, but had become pop oriented, and they never did rely on intricate lyrics. i kind of hated "it's tricky" by them, because it wasn't. lol. ll cool j, krs-one, big daddy kane, rakim brought the emcee way out to the front. before them, the standard for lyricists was the great but underappreciated and underacknowledged T-La Rock, "It's Yours" 1984. before him, the most lyrical emcees were kool moe dee of the treacherous 3, melle mel of grandmaster flash and the furious five, and a solo artist named spoonie g. roxanne shante comes from that era as well, around 1985. female emcees before her include sha-rock, pebbly poo, lady bee, jazzy joyce, yvette money, and of course "the sequence". check out pebbly poo in the ultra-classic Masterdon Committee's "Funkbox", with the infamous origianl lyrics "Let me hear you say, Uhhhh Nana Nana".
