"FRIDAY FUN POST: Ask a Geezer anything"

This weeks we're gonna add a twist, the young heads can come in this post and ask a Geezer anything as it pertains to musical experience.

Any Geezer of record can jump in and answer any question to the best of his or her ability.

no question is too ridiculous. Bonus points if replies contain a story or two ( see also: Mista Monotone getting clowned by U-God )

In response to Reply # 3

I heard it on the radio, and like everybody else, I liked it, but I didn't really think much about it. It was just a cool record.

I had no idea that it would come to be called "Hip-Hop".

But there's two other 'firsts' I'd like to tell you about:

The first time I heard Hip-Hop and knew it was *that shit* was when I heard "Saturday Night" by Schooly D. I had heard a bunch of Rap Records on the radio, and I liked it, but when I heard Schooly's voice, I knew this was some serious shit.

and the first time I got my wig blown back by a rap record was "I know you got Soul". The cadence and rhyme schemes were ridiculous. Rap never sounded the same after that.

Yeah, I would imagine I would have been the same way.

I wish I could remember the first rap song I ever heard.......

It's just always existed for me.

50. "What's funny about 'Rappers Delight'"
In response to Reply # 4

is that my mom...a self-described "disco lover" (shut-up, disco lol), LOVES "Rappers Delight".

I don't remember listening to it when I was 3-4, but my mom always tells me she played it all the time when I was a small child. I'm sure that had a huge impact on my future love of hip-hop.

so imagine a novelty hit based on the biggest hit of the day.

That's probably why it blew so big. It was like a new version of "Good Times"

114. "Interesting. Schooly's 'PSK' was monumental for me"
In response to Reply # 4

Christmas Day in '86.

My family knew I was obsessed with rap music.

This was when it was still seen as a cute novelty. 2 years later, I would have to beg, borrow, and steal to get a rap tape from my folks.

Anyway, the compilation was called Urban Exposure. It even had the Chicago Bears Shufflin Crew as the headlining cut lol Your basic 80's hip-hop compilation.

It had some great cuts...some became classics, some faded into oblivion, but "PSK" was massive to me.

I wrote my first rhyme off that. That was the first rap song where the mc put away the gameshow host voice, and just flowed.

In response to Reply # 3

but the first I remember hearing was Apache.

I was likee 9 years old... I didn't really realize that it was something different at the time. And I was aleady under the thrall of classic rock, so it wasn't like I ran out and bought it... I heard it roller skating probably more than anything else. And I didn't do that all that often.

*shrug*

106. "Rapper's Delight for me too"
In response to Reply # 3

Heard it on the radio initially. Didn't just like it, I really loved it.

It wasn't until I was at a disco one night (I was in my teens) that it really struck me just how different in some ways it actually sounded from what else was out there. One minute dancing to Off The Wall, and then this beat and spoken rhyme rather than singing, against a background of dance music. I distinctly remember wondering at the time if that was the direction things were now heading in...just a momentary thought really, nothing more nothing less.

I loved and embraced a lot of the early rap artists alongside the Sugarhill Gang...Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Grandmaster Melle Mel...and in all these years I have never tired of listening to those early memorable songs.

In response to Reply # 6

>like, one that you've seen flame up and die out over the
>course of your lifetime.

-Boy Bands ( aside from the Jackson 5 and New Edition, every other Boy Band can suck it)

-Hip-House (that awful late 80's/early 90's hybrid of House and Hip Hop. Some did it well, but for themost part it sucked)

-Electroclash ( garbage)

-and this new 80's fashion revival. If the music sucks, who CARES what you're wearing? Get the sounds right and we'll go from there...

52. "Hip-House is the reason I won't listen to Craig G. NOW"
In response to Reply # 11

During the golden era of late 80's hip-hop, Juice Crew was at the forfront.

Craig G. had everything going for him...he was on "The Symphony", he had Marley Marl at his disposal, Cold Chillin records, etc...

He went completely leftfield and did a TERRIBLE hip-house album.

When he tried to come out on the strength of his participation in "8 Mile" on some "return to the roots", ruff, rugged, and raw b.s., all I could do is SMH.

70. "IMO, that's a different Genre."
In response to Reply # 64

because they were trying to make House shit with Rap on it, as opposed to rapping on House beats ( if that makes sense ).

Meaning, Fast Eddie, Kool Rock Steady and all those guys were Houseboys who took their craft seriously.

and the cats I mentioned in the other post had a regular Hip-hop career and the House joints they made were usually stuck at "last song on the second side" status...

In response to Reply # 81

I remember mrhood75 saying something like he never heard the song because of the beginning...he always skipped it.

It's basically back'n forth rhyming over an uptempo hip-hop beat, but it cuts in house beats when they're not rhyming. I thought it was brilliant *shrugs*

that was one of the things keeping Kane's albums from being all the way flawless. In some way, The Doc liked Taste of Chocolate better, aside from Kane trying to be Barry White on one song...

his actual RAP songs were so good they overshadowed the bullshit

In response to Reply # 18

because it's almost always watered down on one end of the spectrum, or both

also, with regards to Disco's comment about the '80s fashion... it's lame because it's like That '80s Show (you know, that short lived, crap version of That '70s Show) ...they emulate the wacker side of that decade, esp. musically. Your post about what you disliked about that Kanye album is what The Doc is talking about...

but you can blatantly tell it's not the real thing. Horns, strings and Spanish guitar are probably the main offenders.

That just bugs the shit out of me.

I mean, I'm not big on '80s style synths-for-synths' sake synths either, but hell, at least they weren't trying and failing to imitate another sound, you know?

In response to Reply # 17

I think that it's only as dead as it's fan base.

to paraphrase Mos Def, how ever *We* are is how Hip-Hop is. If we suck, Hip-Hop is gonna suck. If we decide to be creative, then it'll carry over to Hip-Hop.

It's easy to be a Rap fan. But people need to take back ownership of the Hip-Hop mentality. We need to have music that makes us feel proud, and inspires us again.

55. "That it's 'street journalism'"
In response to Reply # 17

I think, minus some violence/crime themes, most hip-hop music speaks things everyone can relate to, but people just assume they can't relate to it because "it's a bunch of black youth, speaking slang".

I'm sure if people really gave it a listen, they would realize it's alot of basic things in life being talked about, just in different ways.

As far as the violence/crime aspect...most of the violence/crime spoke about in hip-hop is so exagerrated and dramatized, it has nothing to do with "street journalism". I always thought it was a serious cop-out. Violence, sex, and the like, sell...and these artists are trying to sell records.

It's rare that you actually hear this "after school special" hip-hop everyone claims to be doing.

...were you (or Chicagoans in general) aware of the Chicago-80's underground metal scene with bands like Master/Deathstrike, Devastation, Zoetrope etc. or was that type of stuff COMPLETELY obscure even locally outside of fanzine/tape-trader circles?

2. Sorry for this question but how "gay" was the early House-scene really? Was it all types of people digging it in the Chicago-area or was it more of a gay thing? I wonder this because unlike the UK or europe, I often get the impression that americans generally seem to view that type of dance-music as gay...

3. Was there any crossover in terms of crowds, songs etc. between the Ministry/Wax Trax/EBM/industrial scene and the house-scene back in the 80's or was it two completely different crowds with different clubs and stuff?

most of the stuff I liked was of the Alt-Rock UK scene ( Lots of shit like The Cure, The Smiths, etc). But Metallica rocked hard as fuck, so they kidnapped my ears ( as did groups like Pantera later on).

So to be honest, I never went to a lot of metal shows. I've gone to a punk club once or twice, but I was never a scenester.

This is a two-part answer. I won't lie. the early scene that LED to house was Gay, meaning the early loft scene ( from the mid 70' up to the early 80's ). And most of the clubs that catered to the post-Disco crowd would be considered Gay clubs ( or at least Gay Friendly). But once it filtered down to radio and eveolved into the "House Scene" that we know today, it was youth centered and attracted mostly straight teens.

.I wonder this

They do, but that's a stereotype. Just like "Hip-Hop is for Thugs"...

absolutely, Acts like Nitzer Ebb, Front 242 and all those Wax Trax! groups got a bit of crossover love.

The scenes were remarkably different, but the House crowd knew a few Industrial tunes. Unfortunately the Industrial crowd never really took to House music...

I guess they wanted their electronic music to sound, dark, "evil" and stereotypically "white" as opposed to the often uplifting, "soulful" and euphoric vibe of House. It's like that in sweden too; hard synth was a big subgenre in the 80's (I had several friends into that type of music) and most of those guys turned to (euro-sounding) techno in the 90's while they usually HATE House. At least that's how I experience it...

27. "No"
In response to Reply # 22

There was i diversity of scenes represented and the level of access was pretty much on par that this wasn't an issue pre-hip-hop. In early hip-hop the scene saw itself outside of the industry and thus it may have bitched about the industry, but more in the they don't know shit about us kind of way (turn off that bullshit, turn off that motherfucking radio). its only since the rise of integration on one hand and the homogenization of the industry on the other that you end up with people with less access and fewer scenes. But then again I don't really believe that because I remember being in that early hip-hop era where you had to search for shit you wanted anyway. I've been waiting decades for this shit to fall apart. Why should I complain. My only issue is fan apathy that lets them be spoonfed what they like, and teaches them not to search beyond what is presented to them.

I've said this before, but I really don't remember being aware of sales before Thriller. When I look at sales numbers now for those old Cameo or Bar-Kay records I'm always shocked at how few units they moved compared to their pop counterparts. I just always assumed those records were huge since we heard them everywhere.

Most modern blues-bands/artists that play out sound like pub/barroom/old fart-rockers who just happens to play 12-bar patterns with the stereotypical blues-progression. I think that's pretty true of live-"blues" universally with some exceptions...

Sad but true, the blues has been ruined by pub rock assholes-pretty much like how the Blues Brothers and the Commitments made it more difficult for me to appreciate 60's soul of the Stax or Atlantic variety...

In response to Reply # 39

after all, it's largely the way I've felt about electronic music, with a few exceptions.

but at least we're both aware that that perception is only the way we hear it b/c of lack of familiarity with what differences to listen for, you dig?

>but i WILL admit, that Blues Fans seem to enjoy it live.

honestly though - blues festival crowds are the WORST. Worse than even classic rock geezer band audiences.

Mostly - at least back in the '80s and early '90s when Philly still HAD a blues festival - it was mostly people there for the party.

Blues radio kind of feeds that - the main show here feels the need to keep playing new stuff, even though it gets less and less inspiring, for the most part - and it winds up being a radio show (Saturday nights) that suburbanites turn on for background to their cocktail parties.

>I was at the Taste of Chicago and I saw John Mayer perform
>with Buddy Guy. I can't front, they wrecked it...

I've never been a big fan of that crossover-with-popular-rock-guy blues phenomenon. I'd enjoy it live (I'm one of the problems with blues festival audiences, hah, or at least I used to be when I still went out to hear music).

I mean, both those guys are great guitarists AND showmen, so it'd be fun to see. But I don't feel the need to hit up Youtbe to catch the footage.

On the real, though, you know whom to hit up if you ever want to dig in deeper.

a rite of passage which includes a thorough schooling by a predecessing geezer. i was always under the impression that being a gezzer meant when you say, "back in my day" it could mean anything from when you were a teenager to fifty years before you were born. and if it literally meant back in your day, that just meant you were old.

so the shit he liked was pretty much made during my lifetime, or right before my ass hit the ground:

Motown, 60's Soul, Funk, Disco.

He got married and had me at the age of 19, so him and my mom were still young people ( as far as musical tastes go).

Not a lot of "in my day" shit to be heard. Up until Hip-Hop and House, we all pretty much liked the same shit in the house.

I was more into Jazz than my dad, but he knew as much about it as I did.

based on an exchange, I think small-combo jump blues is the way to start him out. Unless we take the cheap 7 easy route with some vintage '70s Albert Collins and troll the blues-funk side of the fence.

Only problem is, I don't own much of that stuff I think would draw him in. Need to get some Elmore James, re-check my Magic Sam, etc.

I never looked at it that way. With the amount of studio releases he's dropped with Jamiroquai I don't see why a solo hasn't happened already. He really should do that.

72. "Your Top 5 DJ Sets You've Seen Live."
In response to Reply # 0

You're from Chicago, so you probably agree with me on this: the Mark Farina sets these kids are getting nowadays are just...laughable. His is a top 5 set of mine.

Also: Have you seen the 3 part documentary (I think it was BBC produced) Pump Up The Volume? I think I'm gonna upload it to the blog.

-Joe Clausell and Anthony Nicholson ( tag team) at Sonotheque in 2007

-Miguel Migs at Smartbar in Chicago (2005)

-Frankie Knuckles at Crobar in chicago (1997)

83. "i've never gone to see many, but I stumbled into 2 great ones"
In response to Reply # 72

while living in Japan.

#1: I was at a conference near Kyoto and talked some others there into going dancing at CLub Metro, which had been a hot (and reasonably eclectic) spot while I'd been there in college. DJ that night: Kyoto Jazz Massive.

Yow!

Plus, I met a chick that night. Always makes the music sound better.

#2: Wound up in some sort of exclusive Tokyo club, taken there by some friends in college. I think it was downstairs, not even a sign. I think it was called Blue, but it might have been Yellow. There were two that either competed or were sibling clubs or something.

At any rate, on the wheels that night were 2/3 of United Future Organization. I didn't even realize it until the end of the night - all night long I'm thinking 'Man, these guys are spinning some great, off-the-wall, surprisingly eclectic shit' and then when I finally took a look at teh schedule I think I literally yelled 'Oh shit! No wonder!'

All my favourite club-nights are connected to that type of stuff unfortunately (?). I even have good memories of AWFUL music regarding that type of stuff...

90. "I missed a KJM party on some bullshit..."
In response to Reply # 83

They were playing at a club I used to play at. But I didn't go...

you know why? It was a Thursday, and I was gonna be there that following saturday. So I skipped it.

I woke up the next morning and *KNEW* in my heart that they'd probably killed it.

my boy confirmed my suspicions.

He saw me that saturday: "Dude..."

and he had the "you missed it *SMH*" look on his face.

94. "I'd never heard of him before"
In response to Reply # 90

he'd gotten a good writeup in the Kansai regional English-language fun guide so I was all fired up.

On top of it: I think it was nominally Brazilian night at the club.

I really had a blast.

101. "Yes..."
In response to Reply # 95

That's one of the things many people don't know-Ozzy has practically never wriiten lyricws_even in his solo-career. Ozzy's strength is his vocal-melodies that has almost alwyas been dope (not counting songs like "Iron man" or NIB where he was singing along to the riffs of course); even in his mostly lame solo-career the melodies are often quite good. However, it was Iommi's riffs and Butler's lyricds that were the backbone of classic Sabbath-Ozzy was not *that* important I think, the reason people make him out to be the main man in (early) Black Sabbath has more to do with celebrity-status than anything else...

111. "He had a killer voice too..."
In response to Reply # 108

Not trying to slight him or anything, just that many people think he *was* Black Sabbath which I don't think is true. How important he was to the band is evident by how much worse most of the records they did without him are.

In response to Reply # 0

what was your reaction? also to further add any artist that had crazy madd hype about them before your time and you got to hear them or artists that were older and you heard them as a child to see what the hype was all about and your first reaction and did any of those acts hold your attention for years to come?
