Sitting down with icons like Ralph McDaniels always proves to be an eye-opening experience. As one of the foremost pioneers of music videos and hip hop culture, Ralph has seen it all. His decades presiding over the iconic show Video Music Box gave him a front row seat to history as it unfolded. Our lively chat covered the importance of preserving hip hop's past for future generations. Ralph opened my eyes to just how vital capturing cultural moments can be. Without his incredible foresight to comprehensively archive footage, photos and interviews back in the day, we'd be missing out on a vital visual record of hip hop's formative years. It was illuminating to hear Ralph's unique perspective on key themes like community activism, cross-generational dialogue and the importance of meeting youth where they're at. He shared invaluable tips that anyone working with children and teens would benefit from tremendously. Of course we also traded some laughs and motivational stories about hustling products and navigating everyday situations. Comparing approaches on things like returning items to stores revealed thought-provoking differences in how men and women handle such tasks. I was thrilled when Ralph gave me an exclusive sneak peek into his new children's book "Roscoe Learns About Video Music Box." Educating the next generation about hip hop history in such an interactive, engaging way is such a smart idea. I'll be first in line to grab a copy for my daughters when it drops later this year! The openness, wisdom and passion Ralph brought to our conversation left me feeling inspired. I gained crucial new knowledge about preserving and passing down culture. If you want a crash course in appreciating hip hop's proud heritage, Ralph McDaniels is the undisputed master. Tune in later to hear our chat in full - trust me, you won't want to miss it!

As hip-hop found its rhythm in the late 80s and early 90s, artists had to grapple with the scars of violence the drug war was causing within the community, using music videos like “Self Destruction” to hold each other accountable, and trying not to unravel in the face of what was happening in the streets. This is also when hip-hop began to expand outside of New York, to Los Angeles, where California's own policies and structures were shaping the rise of gangsta rap. These movements culminated in the so-called “golden age” of hip-hop, a time of maturing and sophistication in the music. But along with that maturity came uncertainty from national leaders, and a new wave of commercialization that threatened to unravel this political artform.On this episode of “Street Disciples,” Trymaine Lee hears from: Daddy-O from the hip-hop group Stetsasonic, rapper and producer The D.O.C., Video Music Box's Ralph McDaniels, radio host Bobbito Garcia, writer Nelson George, and journalist Davey D.Note: this episode contains several instances of profanity.
