Hip Hop Hooray, Slackers!Today, we're diving into ‘80s rap—a new genre that was exploding right before our eyes. We'll cover the top-selling albums and the pioneers who started it all. Rap kicked off in the early ‘80s in New York City. LL Cool J's debut record Radio sold over a million units with “I Can't Live Without My Radio” as the lead single. Then Run-D.M.C.'s Raising Hell broke huge, selling three million copies, led by the first rock/rap hybrid track - their reimagining of Aerosmith's “Walk This Way.” The Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill  hit ten million thanks to the massive anthem that was “Fight for Your Right (To Party).” Rick Rubin produced all three of these breathrough records.Eric B. & Rakim's Paid in Full sold a million records—“I Ain't No Joke” set a new bar. Seriously, it wasn't until I started revisiting this stuff that I recalled how ahead of his time Rakim really was.Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions moved a million units with songs like “Don't Believe the Hype” and “Bring the Noise,” merging hip hop with social commentary. N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton sold three million records with no radio support since almost all of it was censored. Only “Express Yourself” was clean enough to get airplay! Dr. Dre was already a genius in the studio - that album sounds amazing.On the pop side of rap was Salt-N-Pepa's “Push It,” DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince with “Parents Just Don't Understand,” while the big dog was none other than MC Hammer's massively popular Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, which sold ten million—“U Can't Touch This” was a party staple.For Gen X, rap was fresh and ours. These pioneers turned a street sound into a movement, selling millions on vinyl and cassettes.

For our 300th episode, we wanted to do a retrospective that was fitting for our 300th. So we landed on one of the most significant groups in Hip-Hop history. Possibly THE most significant. RUN-DMC - in no uncertain terms - brought Hip-Hop to a new stratosphere in popularity and dedication to creating full bodies of work. Combine that with their unmistakable style and you have one of the most iconic trios in music history.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:07)Ben:Mac Miller - BalloonerismBusta Rhymes - Dragon Season..

In this episode of The Struts Life, we're diving headfirst into the one-year anniversary of Pretty Vicious, the album that left an indelible mark on fans and critics alike. Last week, I got the chance to witness the final show of the Pretty Vicious tour—a night packed with electrifying surprises. From the band going off-script to play some beloved deep cuts to a truly unforgettable moment where a fan named Shannon took to the stage to drum on “Rockstar” alongside the band, this show had it all. I even tracked Shannon down afterward to hear her side of the story and let me tell you, it's as epic as it sounds! But that's not all—we're peeling back the curtain on the making of Pretty Vicious and exploring how it represents both an end and a bold new beginning for The Struts. From the high-energy tracks like “Too Good at Raising Hell” to the introspective process behind choosing which songs made the final cut, the band reflects on what makes this album such a powerhouse. If you're a fan of the rock 'n' roll journey, nostalgia, and the promise of what's next, this episode is a can't-miss. So plug in, turn up the volume, and get ready for an exclusive look into the past, present, and future of The Struts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Folks, We want you walk this way to a store that sells muffins and listen to us talk about Run-D.M.C and the birth of the golden age of hip hop. We are talking sleeping on planes, remembering our rolling goings, and what bag we bring on planes. Planes are definitely in the top three things we talk about on this show. I don't get it.  Then we talk about old school rap and just how great this record sounds. We are beginning a roll of great records right after we do a Ray Charles 3 cd box set next week when we cover the Birth of Soul. It came out in 91 but was recorded in the 50's. We are truly stuck in a sysphean nightmare of our own making.

Frontman, Luke Spiller, and guitarist, Adam Slack, of glam rock band extraordinaire, The Struts, join us again on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss their latest album, Pretty Vicious, it's significance in their discography, and the creation of their single “Too Good at Raising Hell.” We also talk about their future evolution as artists, the possibility of a live album, acoustic sets, working with Robbie Williams, Luke's Mom's introduction to Dave Grohl, and their new podcast, The Struts Life.

On June 17 the pop world was rocked by three letters: LOL. Kesha tweeted the acronym immediately after Katy Perry announced her new single "Woman's World," which was co-written by Dr. Luke. Since Kesha had accused Dr. Luke of sexual assault a decade earlier, many read her "LOL" as directed at her one-time friend Perry. Kesha, meanwhile, released her own single a week before Perry's, a wild "Joyride" featuring hyperactive accordion, percussive handclaps, and quasi-operatic vocals. Both pop stars have much at stake with their new songs. For Kesha, it's her first independent release since finishing her multi album contract with Dr. Luke's record label. For Katy Perry, it's her attempt to reconquer the charts after her last attempt fizzled. On this episode, we listen closely to both songs to hear how each artist is navigating a pivotal moment in their career. Since we are talking about the changing eras of some of our biggest stars, we knew we had to speak to an expert on the subject: Tayla Parx, the singer and songwriter whose newest track "Era" considers the tension between letting the moment define you, or defining it yourself. Songs Discussed: Kesha - Joyride, Tik Tok, Eat the Acid, Raising Hell, Praying Katy Perry - Womans World, I Kissed a Girl, California Gurls, Daisies Lady Gaga - Born This Way Madonna - Express Yourself Tayla Parx - Era Learn more about your ad choices.

Our first installment of our two-week showcase of listener favorites features the late great labor organizer Jane McAlevey. In this July 29, 2017 interview, Jane charts out a course for claiming power in the Trump era - around the bought-off electoral system captured by the rich, and beyond the short-term battles of the online left - towards true power for the American worker, and explains why that path starts with class conciousness and a willingness to battle capital at the point of production.

Herbert Holler on The Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 6/25/24   About Herbert Holler - Herbert Holler has been a party producer, promoter and DJ for over 25 years. He's played at the most notable lounges, bars and dance clubs in NYC nightlife history, from Wall Street to 125th, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention guest spots across the globe, in cities like Tokyo, Venice and London.    He works with a growing list of high-profile clients (Samsung, Porsche, Live Nation, Sony/ATV, etc.), event-production teams (Creative Edge Parties, Glow, Frost Audio, etc.) and world-renown artists (Benny Blanco, Boyz II Men, Diplo, John Legend, Miguel, Snoop Dogg, etc.), and continues to spin some of the most celebrated annual events in NYC (like the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball and Brooklyn Botanic Spring Gala).    He's also created the most legendary old-school dance party in history, the Freedom Party®, voted “Best Party” by Papermag, Village Voice and URB, now in its 21st year of parties with 1000+ events to date, My House™, his home for deep-house music, and Jams™, a new 2000s night! Past When I was little, I had problems sleeping. I wasn't putting myself to bed ever, really. My parents tried everything in the book to get me out, but nothing worked. One night, my dad was at the bar doing his funny dance to Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” and I asked him to pick me up. Less than five minutes later, I was out. Every night thereafter, he slung me over his shoulder just before bedtime and danced me to sleep—to Queen, Styx, Chicago, Meatloaf and lots and lots of Electric Light Orchestra.   ELO was our personal favorite. I ended up memorizing every word to every song off “Out of the Blue.” Anytime we were in his Honda Accord '87, that 8-track went in. My mom had her input, too. Mostly Billy Joel, Tom Jones, maybe some Diana Ross. She tried singing me to sleep some nights, but “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” doesn't really set the mood for deep slumber. She gave me my very first piece of vinyl—1966's “The Best of the Beach Boys.” After the needle gave up trying to stick to that record, she handed me the soundtrack to “Hair.” When the day finally came for me to start learning the value of a dollar and buy my own music, the first tape I went out and purchased was Run DMC's “Raising Hell.”   How I got from 70s orchestral rock, surf ditties, and Broadway musicals to hip-hop, I'll never know. But that diversity has stuck with me to this day. Just when I pledge allegiance to some new rap artist, I'm a bloodthirsty digger searching for a new, synthetic electronic sound I heard on satellite radio or on somebody's blog. And then I'm back frantically Googling a soul or disco sample I recognized from an old tune, or putting the finishing touches on a Dubstep mix I took way too much time obsessing over, or re-organizing my playlists so I know the difference between bounce, trap and an old Dirty-South anthem.   The question of how I ended up spending half my waking hours in a nightclub is easy: I practically grew up in one. Again, my father's to blame. He used to be the Food & Beverage Manager at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City, NJ, my hometown. I clocked more hours at that place than some of the people on payroll. And this was the 80s, mind you, when the casino strip was as glamorous as it would ever be: fur coats, pearl necklaces, big Cadillacs and Liberace (who I saw live…many times). The lights, the sounds, the electricity in the air, even the smells…these things never left.   Nor has my penchant for making people smile. In grade school I brought class clown to a new level. It cost me my grades, and also led to a few suspensions, but there was nothing I enjoyed more than leaving my classmates in stitches. Sometimes even the teacher had to take a second to regain composure. I thought maybe I'd make a good Psychologist, helping people smile, so I went Premed at NYU, till I realized the night before classes started that I'd have to sit still and study a lot. (Hence the B.A.) Naturally, I tried my hand at comedy, but I couldn't afford to be broke, and I was already getting gigs and discovering my knack for making dance floors pop. So, it was settled: I was to be a professional DJ. Present Today, my career is in its 20th year with no signs of slowing down. I've played just about every NYC lounge, bar, and dance club from Wall Street to 125th, from Brooklyn to the Bronx, not-to-mention residencies and guest spots across the globe; I continue to work with a growing list of high-profile clients and world-renown artists (like Snoop Dogg, Diplo, Benny Blanco, Boyz II Men, John Legend, Miguel, Blondie…).   I spin some of the most celebrated annual events in NYC, including the Brooklyn Black Tie Ball, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Spring Gala, and Central Park Summerstage to name a few; I've created the most legendary old-school dance party in NYC history, the award-winning Freedom Party® (19-plus years and 900-plus parties; voted “Best Dance Party” by Village Voice in 2015); and I continue to create unforgettable nightlife experiences for people from all walks of life. Future After years of hard work, dedication and professionalism, my name and reputation as a DJ in the music and entertainment industry precedes itself. And though I don't get to play nearly as much ELO at the gigs as I'd like to, and 8-track tapes (and Liberace) are long gone, my love for the music, the night, and for making people smile are still here.

I spent 4+ hours Sunday doing show prep and used none of it, as I was sitting down I saw something online that sent me down a 2 hour rabbit hole about race & politics in America. I think this was one of my best shows ever. Enjoy!!

Even if you don't know Jules Rabin, there's a good chance that you have seen him protesting or read one of his many letters to the editor or commentaries in local publications. Rabin is Vermont's most tenacious and dedicated peace activist. He celebrated his 100th birthday on April 6 by asking friends to join him in downtown Montpelier to protest Israel's war on Gaza.Rabin grew up in Boston, the youngest of five children. His father worked in a junkyard sorting metal and the family struggled to get by. His experience living in poverty in a working class community during the Depression made him a lifelong crusader for social justice.  Rabin attended the Boston Latin School, then went on to get a bachelor's degree at Harvard and studied anthropology in graduate school at Columbia University. He lived in Greenwich Village where he met his wife Helen. In 1968, he moved to Vermont to teach anthropology at Goddard College, where he taught for nine years. After Goddard downsized and he lost his teaching job, Jules and Helen started Upland Bakers, baking sourdough bread for 35 years in a wood-fired oven that they built. Their bread earned such a loyal following that a local store posted a sign to customers: “To prevent RIOTS and acts of TERRORISM, we ask you to please limit your purchase of Upland French Bread to no more than three loaves.”Jules Rabin attended his first protest at the age of 8, and has protested wars in every generation. From 1960 to 1961, he participated in a 7,000-mile march from San Francisco to Moscow to promote nonviolence and nuclear disarmament. He spent years protesting against the Vietnam War, and in the early 2000s, just as the Iraq War was starting, he could be found in a weekly peace vigil in front of the Montpelier Federal Building in a protest that continued uninterrupted for nine years. Rabin, who is Jewish, has long protested Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians.“How could the Nazi genocide of Jews 1933-45 be followed by the Israeli genocide of Palestinians today?” asked Rabin. He held a sign with a similar message at a recent protest. “I feel so strongly that what Israel is doing today to Palestinians so much resembles what Germans did to Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and everywhere else in Europe and World War II. It's kind of a pitiless wrecking of human flesh.”Jules and Helen Rabin have lived in Marshfield in the same house for 56 years, where they raised their two daughters, Hannah and Nessa. They have three grandchildren.I asked Rabin what keeps him protesting. “It's not that I'm a morbid person always looking for the darkest corner of the room to squat in and be miserable in,” he replied. But he added, “One can't look the other way when something dreadful is going on.”

Soon he began writing his own rhymes, but quickly found that his true talents lay in production. In 2001 famed beat-maker Pete Rock played a track Brown did with rapper Grap Luva, "What Ruling Means," for Marley Marl, who was so impressed with what he heard that he included the song on his album Re-Entry, which came out that same year. That led to work with De La Soul and DJ Jazzy Jeff, but it wasn't until 2004, when The Brown Album, his remixed version of Jay-Z's The Black Album (which came before Danger Mouse's The Grey Album), hit the streets that Brown started to receive real attention. After a succession of collaborations and singles, Kev released his solo debut, I Do What I Do, in 2005. The album, which was released on Up Above Records, had the producer rapping at least one verse on each of the 13 songs, as well as featuring guest MCs from his crew, the D.C.-area-based Low Budget, and Phonte Coleman from Little Brother.

Jessica Elefante used to be part of the problem. She was a brand strategist and marketer who created fake problems for us so we would buy things and do things. Because that is what brands and influencers do. They trick us into believing we need things to make our lives better. But now Jessica is a reformed BS artist and she wants to fix the problem. She wants to help us figure out how to stop the nefarious forces of influence from making us unhappy and unhinged with her new book Raising Hell, Living Well. I love this woman and I feel so lucky that I made a new friend by reaching out to her to work on this podcast.You can buy Jessica's book here!https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711835/raising-hell-living-well-by-jessica-elefante/Hello Fresh is our sponsor this week.

There is a dire misconception these days that hunting and angling are somehow the birthright of Americans – and that these life pursuits and passions of ours belong to us by dint of benevolent magic or extraordinary good luck. American hunting and fishing do not exist because of magic or luck. We have what we have because our forebears raised relentless hell to restore our wildlife and protect our lands, waters and air. Ben Long, hardcore hunter, angler, conservationist, writer and longtime BHA leader, has produced The Hunter & Angler Field Guide to Raising Hell to re-awaken that spirit right now…when the need has never been greater. In the tradition of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the epic of oppression that launched the American Revolution, Ben's Field Guide is a concise user's guide to the institutions – from federal agencies to the courts – that help us protect that which we refuse to relinquish, and that which we will pass on to the generations that follow us. To whom much has been given, much is expected. Join us, in the fight, and for this conversation.   

In the 68th episode of WOODSIDE, Ben is joined by author Ben Long to discuss his new book, what being a true advocate looks like, and how to navigate the politics of the outdoors. Enjoy. 

In this episode of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy talks with Ben Long, an experienced writer, advocate, and hunter, about Ben's new book, Field Guide to Raising Hell. Topics covered include, how long hunters have been raising hell for wildlife, are we here to fight or here to win, how the systems work, wins matter, focus on values, Spank & Thank, being a happy warrior, and a ton of other good information about how to effectively advocate for the wild places and the wild things we dearly love.
