The Oral-History of Hip Hop
I finally figured this podcast out. Combat Jack is an amazing interviewer. He could easily be a social scientist (he is one) with is interview technique. He probes the interviewer to provide insight into their life, happenstance, risk-taking, and whether our not they saw the success (or sometimes lack of recognition) in the lore if the Hip Hop world. I grew up with KDAY in LA. I was too young to go clubbin' but heard The World Class Wreckin Cru, Run DMC, UTFO, etc... but I have gaps in my hip hop knowledge. At some point I got bored with hip hop... but there was always a sweet spot for GOOD hip hop (with a west coast bias). I found my niche in indie hop hop... still hip hop kept evolving. I am going back and catching up with this podcast. YOU HAVE HUMANIZED HIP HOP ARTISTS!! They have real-life stories, families, challenges, and successes. They philosophize, pay wisdom forward... you get to the meaning behind the glitter and really make us enjoy the artist as a person. Don't let this living document of a podcast stop... keep up the amazing good work of documenting hip hop culture.
