"The pop success of both singles was unheard of for the time. Kurtis Blow's appearance in a Sprite commercial made him the first hip hop musician to be considered mainstream enough to represent a major product, but also the first to be accused by the hip hop audience of selling out. Another popular performer among mainstream audiences included DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, who won rap's first Grammy"

I was in a terrible band recording at Vital Studios when the engineer (Jim, later of Rats of Unusual Size) and I went outside to take a break. We ended up in Tompkins Square Park and there was this crazy scene of people and noise, even though it was around midnight. We went back to the studio and missed being in that riot by about a half an hour. We seriously lucked out that night.

3rd annual Hip-Hop Chess Tournament, Bum Rush the Board

http://www.wblinc.org/bumrushreg.html

There was a logical connection between Chess and Hip-Hop considering the fact that hip-hop as a culture is highly competitive. It is replete with opportunities to battle and compete to win over crowds, crews and sponsors. By connecting hip-hop to chess, we have created a chess tournament that exposes youth to a culture (hip-hop) and a science (chess) that requires them to think ahead, manage talent and size up their adversary. These skills are useful in hip-hop, chess, business and in life.
