Looking Way Back
Hey what’s up there everybody?! Happy holidays and all that jazz! For about roughly a month now, I’ve been looking and listening to old material. Whether it’s old family albums, 80’s and 90’s Hip Hop cassettes, my mother’s old 45’s, etc. I’ve been amazed how things have evolved over the decades. Just recently, I was looking at the future movie releases on Fandango.com and saw that Tron 2 will be coming out I think 2009. Technology has evolved tremendously since Tron was released in the early 80’s. Imagine what the sequel will turn out to be. 
Recently I have been listening to both Black Sugar albums which were originally released in the 70’s. With that said, I first became aware of Black Sugar simply by seeing and purchasing the Listen shirt displaying the album cover of their first release. I like watching and listening to old hip hop stuff because I like to see what stuff I did in fact miss during a certain time period and share it with others. I honestly haven’t bought Serato or any other digital djing software because I don’t really need it for what I do. I still buy wax. Anyway, some of the archived historical DVD’s I think in my opinion people must definitely at least watch are Wild Style and Style Wars. I don’t know if the Peach have any of those available at the moment. If they don’t, send them an e-mail to see if they can get some more in. While I was in the Bay Area during 2006, I was exposed to an old hip hop show called “Hip Hop Slam” on the cable station Soul Beat owned by the late Chuck Johnson. This show was like the top Bay Area video hip hop video show during it’s twelve episode reign in 1993. It was like what Distortion 2 Static is today. It’s funny to watch those episodes from 93′ to see artists such as KRS-1, Erick Sermon, DJ Apollo, Too Short, just to name a few, were doing back in those days. Now most of those artists from those episodes are doing well today in the industry. The Peach have those videos for sale in the Videos section of the site. With that being said, I hope you all have a happy holiday season and perhaps spend some time with your family, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, dogs, cats, parrot….etc and watch, listen, to some old hip hop! LaterZzz!
