Miscellaneous
Welcome to the show BMS listeners. This episode crosses the avenues of Soul and Hip Hop. During the late ’80s and throughout the ’90s on what many call the golden age of hip hop. Many rappers dipped into their parent’s old record collections and sourced classic and some not so classic records to use as samples on their own recordings. One of the bedrock loops was James Brown’s ‘Funky Drummer’. We delve into James and his entourage as well as many other great soul artists; which became the inspiration for Eric B. & Rakim, Stetsasonic, Eric Sermon, Tribe Called Quest, Biggy Smalls, and others.This Episode will feature, Kool & The Gang, Curtis Mayfield, George McCrea, Marvin Gaye, and many others.Remember when music was Music!PLAYLIST1.
