There's so much more to the 50 years of #HipHop than just testosterone-fueled MCs with #dicks and #guns.

"Even if it's jazz or the quiet storm. I hook a beat up, convert it into hip-hop form." -Eric B. and Rakim

Along with Smoky Robinson's "Quiet Storm" this song features the first sample I can remember ever hearing..."Sang and Dance" by the Bar-Kays, also on Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."

De La Soul is just received streaming rights to their music in March of this year. Rest in power Dave...Thank you for the music.

Great memories of buying an import copy of the first #JungleBrothers & grooving to this hip-hop mash up with #MarvinGaye...

This really was when hip hop was the CNN for #AfricanAmericans in ChuckD' phrase.

HipHop is SO not my genre, but there are 2 exceptions:

Urban Species feat. MC Solaar, with one of the greatest samples I know

"Magnetband" - Swiss german HipHop with Band, incredibly funny and intelligent lyrics and one of my best friends rapping😁

The GOAT rap group. #50yearsofhiphop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOWKGXpl9E0

Finally listened to Gilles Peterson’s 6Music ‘50 yrs of Hip Hop’ show on the 80s this am, and goodness: what a great slice of nostalgia/culture/music/optimism it is.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001ns7z

The whole thing’s worth a listen but particularly from ~1:32:50 when he begins to dive into the brilliance of PE’s It Takes A Nation Of Millions. Particularly nice memories from Betty Boo, of the She Rockers.

I think it’s probably the best album, isn’t it?
