SUUUUUUU! Welcome to another dip into the Wu-Tang Clan chamber. We jump into our Slept-On Wu Bangers Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0iESHJ2ZPR33rhl9mHEmRx) and pick out a song to break down on the show.   Back in 2001, Ghostface  Killah was hitting his apex, and one of the best songs to encapsulate this is ‘The Sun'. A deep cut that never got the chance to open his album ‘Bulletproof Wallets', thanks to RZA being too high to remember the sample for clearance, this song may well be the best example of Wu-Tang being for the children. Featuring Raekwon, Slick Rick and RZA, we bring your our takes on this incredible track.   Show Notes Best Alarm Clock Hip Hop Songs (6:37)

For many, hip-hop is seen as a capitalist way to escape the hood, but at its core, it's an artform built on literary techniques. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2023, congress unanimously passed a resolution designating this month as Hip-Hop History Month. So in honor of hop-hop history, Amanda Seales and DJ Supreme have a hip-hop history challengeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, we're unpacking the latest in news, culture, and controversy. Starting off, we explore the growing push among male celebrities to frame Donald Trump as an anti-hero and what that means for the public narrative. In Blackurate News, we're talking about the Affordable Care Act's potential trouble, celebrating Hip-Hop History Month with a trivia challenge, and discussing the unexpected talents of rappers who can act. Plus, it's Voting and Venting time—where we open the floor to listeners to share their thoughts on everything from local laws to the upcoming election. In the Big Up Let Down segment, a group in L.A. earns the Big Up for their clever “bear necessities” scam involving luxury cars, while the Let Down goes to a Georgia mom who faced legal trouble after her son made a solo trip to Dollar General.

Yes, we are opening up our Rawkus Records Chronicles, to talk about their first major rap release - 1997's Funcrusher Plus from Company Flow.   This here is a clip of what's happening over at our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/crate808) where we've been building a hell of a dip back into the world of 90s hip hop, specifically the importance and legacy of Rawkus Records.   And our first special guests are major - rapper Breeze Brewin from The Juggaknots is in the house, who features on this rap classic, as well as artist and producer GENG PTP and YouTuber Myke C-Town

BREAK OUT THE HEAD CHEESE PEOPLE! Yes, it's our final episode of Hip Hop Heads Talk Horror series for this Halloween, and we go out with a bang - celebrating FIFTY years of one of the best films ever made, 1974's ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'

First up this week is an extraordinary 1992 interview with Lindsey Buckingham.  Lindsey recently turned 75 and is still creating music, but it's so interesting to hear him more than 30 years ago. Although the interview was ostensibly to promote his solo work, Lindsey talks a lot about Fleetwood Mac – from the early days all the way through to Tango In The Night.  And we even have a bonus clip of Stevie Nicks talking about her frustration with Lindsey when he spent two years working on the Tusk album.             We also have the incredible story of the making of a hit.  In this case, the hit is “Beth” by KISS – The story is incredible because the star is an eleven year old girl – and even though she's a little older now, her tale of how she helped make Beth a hit is very entertaining.             Plus, we talk about one of the most influential women in music.  She not only had a couple of hits herself, she's also responsible for three of the most important and influential hip hop singles ever made.  Her name is Sylvia Robinson, and we'll hear a classic clip from her and we'll discuss her legacy!             And finally, we close out the show with an interview with Eric Carmen, who passed away in May of this year.  Eric was the lead singer of the Raspberries and then had a very successful solo career.  Eric was very strongly opinionated – and you can hear his drive and determination in the clips that we found.    Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville.  It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.  

One, two, Crate 808 is coming for you. Three, four, better lock your door. Five, six, here's your hip hop fix!   Today we hope to keep your Halloweens spooky by continuing our Hip Hop Heads Talk Horror series, and this one is big. We sit down to celebrate 40 years of an iconic, genre-shifting, pop culture behemoth - Wes Craven's classic ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street' from 1984.   Joining in the fun, we have Myke C-Town and Alaska Atoms, with dope contributions from hip hop heads Simon Ward and Tom Comey

Despite lottery funds supposedly earmarked for schools, our institutions often lag behind in technology and resources.

Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson still remembers the first time he heard The Sugarhill Gang's 1980 hit "Rapper's Delight." It felt like a paradigm shift: "Suddenly they start talking in rhythmic poetry and we didn't know what to make of it," The Roots bandleader says. Questlove's new book is Hip-Hop is History. The Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creator and co-star Rob McElhenney bought a Welsh football club during the pandemic.

We're going back to Old School Guys on this episode of The Chazz Palminteri Show!

Abbatiello created and produced the freestyle, urban/dance-pop trio, The Cover Girls, whose hits include "Show Me" and "Wishing on a Star". Abbatiello is also the owner of Fever Records.   Sal is Bronx born and a native, starting as a bartender in his father's bar. The disco era was taking over the club scene in Manhattan with Studio 54, two years later in 1972 at the early age of 19, knowing this was the new music of that time, he went on to open his own club, it was the first disco in the Bronx, called the Playhouse. This is where he started promoting his own shows by handing out flyers and selling tickets himself.
