another 1200 mile road trip in the bag to go to Wembley Stadium to see Eminem


the Scooby performed well as usual


went from Aberdeen to Sunderland to pick up my lad and his 2 mates, then off to London


V-power went from 131.9 per litre to 147.9 just outside London!!


Gig was great, Dr Dre came on for a few tracks with Eminem


about 80% of the crowd were completely 'monged'

Dr Dre is a class act, I have some of his albums from many many years ago well before even NWA. He used to be in an outfit called The World Class Wreckin Cru who I saw live at UK Fresh back in 1984 iirc

See the vid below, he doesn't quite look the gangsta from his NWA days

But they were the good days of early electro


This tune tore the roof off Wembley Arena back in 1984.



Not so keen on Eminem but he's not bad.


Here endeth the the lesson on the history of Hip Hop

Not much of a lesson.

Sugar Hill Gang.

What about them?

You mean the first rap song to hit the charts/ top of the pops, so the first one you've ever heard of?

Cool DJ Herk is the founder of Hip hop
& birth place is the Bronx
Way before planet rock & the soul sonic force

Class dismissed ha ha

Dingdongler

No idea who this Cool DJ Herk is but Cool DJ Herc was indeed a founding father.

Go to the back of the class

No, numb nuts, they were before/same time as WCWC.

Dingdongler

Actually sh7t for brains I never made reference to which came first nor did I say that WCWC invented Hip Hop. I was just giving the op a historical reference of Dr Dre's origins.

Learn to read, actually understand what is written and then try and respond coherently. Not very likely I suppose

Blimey handbags over hiphop Bring back Run DMC and Beastie Boys I say

That reminds me, a couple of days ago in Tesco car park the most blinged up Chrysler 300c SRT8 pulled in with blacked out windows and Beastie Boys No Sleep 'till Brooklyn playing at ear bleeding volume and the driver who got out must have been mid 60's I'm not sure what's worse playing excessively loud music in a car, a 17 year old in a Nova or a 60+ year old in a blinged up car
