In keeping with the theme of this show for the 2014 Marathon - all calendar year long I will be celebrating my 30 years (1984 - 2014) in radio with lots of throwback tracks (snippets of air checks from bygone era radio shows) - with today's including some classic call-in raps on KALX from October 1990 with my mainman/cohost G-Spot (who these days is on KPFK and KPFA)….plus some other lost/forgotten rap gems from my deep radio air check archives

I went through a travel nightmare on my way there. Skratchpad was cool! Overall, I had a decent time.

Billy Jam:

This time for me in radio was so great - hip-hop had not gone commercial fully and people were fiending for it and down to do call ins - we would do non stop 2 hours of call-ins and never run out…I did try call in raps on WFMU before -f about five or six years ago - but had no success

Billy, that was an excellent time capsule. Nothing better than that initial spark when creativity was more innocent.
