The Questlove Show; Fab 5 Freddy interview

Hip-hop visionary Fab 5 Freddy joins Questlove for a wide-ranging conversation tracing his journey from Bed-Stuy's Hancock Street to the forefront of music, art, television, and culture. While discussing his memoir, Everybody's Fly, Fab reflects on Brooklyn's mobile disco scene, the origins of sound system culture, graffiti's transformation of subway cars into rolling art galleries, and the experiences that helped shape Hip-Hop's foundation. He also revisits the enduring legacy of Wild Style and Yo! MTV Raps, sharing stories about bringing rap to mainstream television, introducing N.W.A to a national audience, directing a classic Snoop Dogg video, and championing groundbreaking artists as an executive. Along the way, Fab shines a light on the unsung heroes of the graffiti movement, recalls encounters with figures ranging from Malcolm X and Thelonious Monk to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, and discusses how art, music, and advocacy continue to drive cultural change today.

El Train | Loop Kitchen; How a Forgotten New York Record Became the Sound of Southern Rap

El Train | Loop Kitchen youtube channel The story of how a short-lived 1986 New York rap record by The Showboys somehow became one of the most important sounds in Southern rap. In 1986, Hollis duo The Showboys released “Drag Rap,” a six-minute story record that briefly made noise in New York before seemingly disappearing. But hundreds of miles away, DJs in Memphis and New Orleans began finding a completely different use for it. This is the story of how one overlooked record travelled through clubs, mixtapes and local scenes, became known as the “Triggerman,” and ended up shaping the sound of Southern rap for decades.
