On this episode, Ayana talks with Charlie Ahearn.
Times Square in New York City is bustling and crowded. Or at the very least, we all hope it will be that way soon again. But back in the late 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s Times Square was a scary and sleazy drug and, prostitute hang-out. Full of X-rated movies and plenty of trouble. If you wanted to go there, you were advised to go there at your own risk. Until one day a group of city officials (Governors, Mayors, and Police Commissioners) decided to make New York City great again, as it once was so long ago. They decided on cleaning up Times Square since it was in the heart of the city. The "Big Apple" as it was once called, was making its way back, baby. And with a lot of determination, drive, and money from some Hollywood-types, Times Square made its comeback. And now we can all see the glory of Times Square courtesy of our television sets on New Year's Eve as the ball drops on this now empty part of the city due to the pandemic. Hopefully not empty for long! Thank you for listening to this episode!

In unserer Podcast Episode 50 gibt’s ein 60minütiges Gespräch mit Graffiti Pionier LEE von The Fabulous 5ive aus New York. Graffiti Pionier weil sich LEE schon in den 1970er Jahren in vielerlei Hinsicht innerhalb der damals noch jungen Subway Art Bewegung stark abheben konnte. LEE hat schon früh angefangen, das Medium Zug nicht nur als rollende Leinwand sondern auch als Kommunikationsmittel zu verstehen, um seine Meinung in die Stadt zu tragen. Das hat er auf teils poetische Art und Weise gemacht, beispielsweise mit dem STOP THE BOMB Wholecar oder den später durch den im Film Beat Street bekannt gewordenen (leicht abgeänderten) Satz “Graffiti is art, and if art is a crime, let god forgive all”. LEE hat sich in den 1970er Jahren auf Wholecars fokusiert und ist auch verantwortlich für den weltweit ersten Wholetrain in Traffic, den er im November 1976 uA zusammen mit seinen TF5 Crew Mitgliedern DOC, MONO und SLAVE gemalt hat, dokumentiert im Buch “Getting Up” von Craig Castleman. Unter der Leitung von Charlie Ahearn spielt LEE in Wild Style eine der Hauptrollen neben Lady Pink und Fab5Freddy. Der Film spielt im New York Anfang der 1980er Jahre, in einer eigentlich noch nicht existierenden Hip Hop Szene, mit Mitgliedern der Sprayergruppe The Fabulous 5ive. Wild Style wird heute als Blaupause für die Entstehung der Europäischen Hip Hop Bewegung in den 1980er Jahren gesehen. Ab 1979 fing LEE langsam an, an kommerziellen Aufträgen und auf Leinwand zu arbeiten, malt aber noch bis 1983 aktiv auf Zügen. Zusammen mit Fab5Freddy stellt LEE als erster Graffiti Writer der New Yorker Subway Art Bewegung in Europa aus. Mit weitreichenden Folgen. Kurze Zeit später finden in fast allen größeren europäischen Metropolen kleinere und größere Graffiti Art Ausstellungen statt. 1981 startet Yaki Kornblit in Amsterdam mit seinen einflussreichen Ausstellungen (RISE – From New York To Europe Staffel 01), 1982 stellte LEE auf der documenta 7 in Kassel aus. LEE feiert dieses Jahr seinen 60.Geburtstag.

The Album: Wild Style soundtrack(1983) Wild Style began as a low budget but ambitious film project, centered around Zoro, a young graffiti writer swashbuckling his way through the style wars of early ‘80s New York. Directed by Charlie Ahearn and starring Lee Quinones as Zoro, Wild Style would become more of a quasi-documentary of hip-hop’s on its cusp from South Bronx street culture into the global phenomenon we know today. Filled with MC, graffiti, DJ and b-boy performances from a host of now legends, Wild Style would inadvertently spread the hip-hop gospel to a generation of youth around the world, enraptured with how it depictions of an explosive, impossibly colorful subculture that few had laid eyes on outside of the five boroughs. Its soundtrack, overseen by Fab Five Freddy and Blondie guitarist Chris Stein, was largely built off an exclusive disc of original breakbeats that became the sound bed for various live performance scenes throughout the movie. Electric, dynamic and fly as hell, the Wild Style soundtrack helped capture the sound of early hip-hop’s energy and flair from A to motherf—ng Z. For a young Jeff Chang, growing up far away from the Bronx in Honolulu, Wild Style was like a secret cypher that he and his friends could pass around and decrypt. Long before the days of streaming video, if you didn’t catch a theatrical screening of this tiny, indie flick, you had to rely on nth generation bootleg dubs on VHS but as crappy as the images might have been, the inspiration was no less dimmed. This put Chang on the path to eventually become one of the most accomplished hip-hop critics in the formative ‘90s era, eventually culminating in his award winning Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation (2005), which, among other things, digs deep into hip-hop’s earliest days preceding even the Wild Style era. He’s since followed that up with Who We Be: The Colorization of America (2014) and most recently, We Gon’ Be Alright: Notes on Race and Resegregation (2016) which became the inspiration behind the digital video series of the same name which just debuted this year.

The seminal hip-hop film looks at underground Bronx art culture, including rap, graffiti art, break-dancing (aka b-boying) and DJing (aka turntablism), as we follow the exploits of a graffiti artist named Zoro and his quest to take his art and make it a living. Charlie Ahearn and Fab 5 Freddy created this film to expose to the world the genuine artistry and talent going on in the South Bronx, with lost of scenes of the authentic underground artists and their phenomenal talents. Imitated, but never duplicated, WILD STYLE is the grand daddy of all films covering hip-hop.
Career-MC Sha-Rock became one of the earliest female emcee "on wax" or recorded on vinyl who began as a local b-girl or breakdancer in the earliest days of South Bronx hip-hop scene and culture in the late 1970s.[2] She recorded with the Funky 4 + 1, which consisted of four male emcees + 1, the plus one denoted Green as the sole female emcee.[3] The Funky 4 + 1 had their first significant hit with the 12-inch single "Rapping and Rocking the House" on Sugarhill Records (1979) as well as "That's the Joint" (1980).[4] As an early pioneer affiliated with the Zulu Nation, MC Sha-Rock inspired a style of rapping emulated and made notable by Run DMC called the "echo chamber".[5][6]In 2010, Green published a book about her experiences titled The Story of the Beginning and End of the First Hip Hop Female MC: Luminary Icon Sha-Rock.[7]Legacy-The early roots of girls and women in hip-hop are often downplayed but Sharon Green aka MC Sha-Rock is considered the first to record and the first to appear on national television.[8][9] On Valentine's Day in 1981, she and her crew The Funky 4 + 1 were introduced as "street rappers" from the Bronx as the musical guests along with Debbie Harry of the American group Blondie on Saturday Night Live when Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscapo were still members of the SNL cast.[8] The Funky 4+ 1's appearance reflected a local New York City connection that introduced the uptown musical youth of the Bronx and Harlem to the downtown Lower East Side scenes of graffiti art and music fictionally represented with the artists playing themselves in the 1983 film Wild Style by Charlie Ahearn. This creative link between various youthful artists was forged by the influencers like Fab Five Freddy and Ruza Kool Lady Blue who ran the Roxy NYC nightclub the featured early hip-hop artists.[10][11] She appeared in classic hip-hop films like Stan Latham's Beat Street (1984) and has been honored in recent decades by various organizations for her pioneering contributions to hip-hop emceeing.[2] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Since the 1970s, armed with a 16mm camera and his curiosity, filmmaker and artist Charlie Ahearn was a pioneer chronicler of the nascent days of hip-hop and street culture in New York City. He soon migrated to movies including the super 8 kung-fu film The Deadly Art of Survival (1978) and the seminal Wild Style (1983) which documented the excitement of graffiti art and rap music and is recognized as the first hip-hop movie. Not limited to film, Charlie has also published books and created silkscreen paintings. A new solo exhibition, Scratch Ecstasy, is an exhilarating summation of his talents across mediums. The exhibit is currently running at New York's P.P.O.W. Gallery through June 24, 2017.

This week the Two Guys with PhDs are rappin' to the beat with two new books that will funk you up. That's right, DJ D and Kunka Kool spend this episode getting down with Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen III: Century (Top Shelf/Knockabout) and Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree 2 (Fantagraphics). First, they look at the latest hardbound collection from Moore and O'Neill, bringing together all three of their previously published Century installments: 1910, 1969, and 2009. The guys spend a good deal of time discussing the kind of readers that come to The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, what their expectations might be, and how some may not be ideal for Moore's kind of writing. Can those unfamiliar with the previous League stories truly comprehend what's going on in Century? Can readers unfamiliar with — or uninterested in — literary and pop-cultural marginalia come away from the book with an understanding of what Moore is attempting to do? These are some of the questions Andy and Derek discuss, and they recommend that it wouldn't be a bad idea for readers to come to Century with annotations readily at hand. (Two great online sources for these are Jess Nevin's annotations website as well as postings by the Mindless Ones.) Next, the guys discuss Ed Piskor's latest volume of Hip Hop Family Tree. This second book covers the scene from 1981-1983, and it picks up right where last year's first volume left off. Among other highlights, the guys talk about Piskor's take on Sylvia Robinson and Sugar Hill Records, the evolution of Run-DMC, the resistance of many rappers to put their efforts on vinyl, the significance of Charlie Ahearn's film Wild Style, and the role Fab Five Freddy played in bringing together uptown and downtown cultures. They specifically focus on Piskor's art and the way he tells his story. Hip Hop Family Tree is a series of anecdotes and ongoing storylines, first published on Boing Boing, that may appear fragmented at first, but a careful reading reveals an interconnectedness that makes for an engaging history. And the way that Piskor represents key players in early hip hop culture (e.g., Afrika Bambbataa, Melle Mel, Russell Simmons, Mr. Magic, Lonzo Williams, and Rick Rubin) is both revealing and humorous. Whether or not you're a fan of hip hop — Andy is, Derek really isn't — Hip Hop Family Tree is a series you definitely have to check out.
