True Skool Block....

It's another edition of the "True Skool Block" this weeks update i decided to change it up.. Normally i feature some type of old footage, or some classic mix. But this week i decided to hit you off with that knowledge... So with that being said here is a classic BBC Radio episode called "Looking For The Perfect Beat" by Jeff Young.. This is a wonderful audio documentary on the pioneers of this Hip-Hop shit.. Breaking it down with interviews with Grand Master Flash, Run DMC, Grandmaster Caz, Afrika Bam, and so much more.. They are even breaking down the time line of how this whole Hip-Hop shit even manifested being told by the cats who pioneered it.. Then on top of that they are playing some real classic joints in the mix to keep you locked in tight.. This is by far one of the illest audio documentary's i heard in a minute.. Do yourself a favor and press play jack and go in for yours....

As a added bonus on this BBC Radio tip here is one of the newest shows.. It's called "Beat Mining With The Vinyl Hoover"... This show is all about beat digging and record sampling.. This is a wonderful audio documentary on some of the most sampled artists/songs in the Hip-Hop world. As well as features a few certified beat diggers, included with some in debt interviews on what they used and how they used the sample.. This was made for the beat nerd and the Hip-Hop head no questions.....So what you waiting for check in duke!
