	7:19pm headcleaner: NGH - no more so than that, for a while (at the start of it all) - the highest concentration of Corona cases in NYC was in ... Corona
	7:19pm Gary: You'll be happy to hear, Tim, that Tim is by most accounts the first rapper on wax (if you don't count Last Poets, etc.)

	🇰🇷 7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo ! ...could never learn enuff about HipHop to fill the galaxy-sized hole of my ignorance...
	7:56pm Gary: RevRab!
	8:07pm doctorjazz: This is the period when I followed hip hop, have many of these on 12 inch discs.
	8:07pm Gary: Jealous
	8:21pm Jill B.: Hi Gary.....I thought you were traveling in the historic areas of the South.
	8:22pm Gary: Hi Mom! Happy belated birthday!
	8:23pm Gary: Got back on Sunday and was back at work Monday morning
	8:23pm Jill B.: Thank you! You're next!!!
	8:23pm Jill B.: So are you all Southed out?
	8:24pm Gary: Ha, it was quite a bit hotter and more humid than I was prepared for. But I actually really loved Savannah
	🇰🇷 8:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think the story was the TomTom Club was in the studio - but still didn't have lyrics ? So they just started riffing about this problem with Words ??...
	8:32pm doctorjazz: Tom Tom Club probably the sign Hip Hop had gone mainstream.
	🇰🇷 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there was 'Rapture' by Blondie - probly about the first time I became really aware of it - had t remember... TomToms more for real between them I think...
	🇰🇷 8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheClash were fairly quick to appreciate Rap...but again I know nothing...
	8:37pm doctorjazz: This was a rap over a rap.
	🇰🇷 8:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Did it take till 'The Message' before HipHop started to get topical ?
	8:40pm Jill B.: I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your trip!
	8:41pm Gary: That was when it seemed to gain traction. There was a track, How We Gonna Make the Black Nation Rise? in 1980, which is pretty terrific
	8:42pm tim abdellah: The vocal "Come On, Get Down" from this West Street Mob track was sampled in Public Enemy's "Fight The Power"
	8:42pm Gary: I'll call you after the show, Mom -- I'll be stepping out for a coke or some ice cream, I think
	🇰🇷 8:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I did once have a friend from Georgia school me when I complained about the humidity in NewHampshuh...
	8:43pm Gary: Yes! One of the joys of doing this is that that isn't the only track where I heard a PE sample -- although I don't think I wound up being able to use the other one I caught this week
	8:45pm tim abdellah: ❤️
	8:45pm Jill B.: Okey Dokey!
	8:54pm tim abdellah: Rapper's Delight
	8:58pm tim abdellah: wikipedia sez it's '82
	8:58pm Gary: Whew, thank goodness -- clearly trippin here
	8:59pm doctorjazz: Love this!
	9:18pm tim abdellah: Rock Rock the Planet Rock... Don't Stop!
	9:20pm doctorjazz: Planet Rock, another classic!
	🇰🇷 9:24pm WR: I recently got the Smithsonian Anthology of Hip Hop and Rap. Haven't opened it yet. Song list is one point but it has a couple of essays and photos, wonder if any revelations.
	9:24pm schmutz: yay Gary! sneakin in late, but will catch up in the archive..
	9:27pm Gary: Schmutz! Oh, man, WR, I'm curious about that one
	9:34pm still b/p: And wonder what pre-1985 hip hop artists woulda thought if someone told them there'd someday be a Smithsonian Anthology. Would they have said "Of course!" or "You sure?" or "No way," or would they laugh at the seeming incongruity of something so fundamantally street being surveyed and formatted in a decidedly non-street and arguably fusty-dusty realm.
	9:35pm Gary: still b/p!
	9:38pm doctorjazz: WR, I actually just saw that Smithsonian anthology today somewhere-found it amazing they did it, but, hey, hip hop is mainstream music (my daughter listens to much). White Lines...!
	9:40pm doctorjazz: I'm sure those early Hip Hop artists would have thought you were nuts! (Would Robert Johnson have expected to be in anthologies?)
	9:40pm doctorjazz: This is SUCH FUN (but my neck is getting sore from all the bopping)!
	9:41pm Gary: I remember dancing to this in clubs in San Francisco in the early 80s
	9:45pm Gary: Hey You! Stick around after this for Sam Segal's If You Lose Your Horse. Tonight's episode "Horse Mego (RIP Peter Rehberg)" wfmu.org...
	9:47pm still b/p: Love for an artist to write a track, "Where You Gonna Put Me, Professor?" Of course it makes perfect sense for authors or institutions to explore and document all things cultural and historical, and hip-hop is historically/culturally huge, but there's something nearly comical in the oil-and-water aspect sometimes.
	🇰🇷 9:54pm WR: Ha ha Doc, some muscles that you've not exercised recently. I feel you, as they say.
	9:58pm tim abdellah: That was hella fresh, Gary! Have a fly night everyone!!
	🇰🇷 9:59pm WR: The song list of the anthology can be reviewed online. I'm wondering about the book. It is a collaboration with a few of the early hip hop guys being contributors. Will report back. Thank you Gary. Onward.
	9:59pm doctorjazz: Thanks, Gary, great stuff!
	10:00pm Gary: Night everyone!
