Transcription

The speaker reminisces about the early days of hip-hop in their city and the limited access to hip-hop music on mainstream radio. They mention specific radio stations and DJs who played hip-hop, highlighting the importance of these pioneers in introducing the music to their community. The speaker expresses gratitude for the early exposure to hip-hop and acknowledges the influence it had on their generation. This is dedicated to the niggas that was down from day one, welcome to Death Row. That's what we always do about this town. Ha ha ha, yeah, 9-2, Death Row Records, Creepin' like it's sweet, niggas lyin' in suits. Yeah, welcome to another episode of Desensitize, this is test run number two. And, uh, I chose this background song to begin for the intro because, 92. 30 years ago. So if you want to take a trip to the west, let a nigga like you go. So I just chose to influence, once y'all had the west coast in 92. Because when this came out, we were getting this. You know, we were getting all hip-hop music first. East side, once y'all was east coast. All this, all the music came out in New York, even before this. Anything came to New York, came here, east coast, in real time. Remember, there's a time difference. When they recorded this and put it out, before New York got it, there was a time difference. But we were, when I say we, I mean once y'all. And I think that also has something to do with why the title of this podcast is Desensitize. Because we were really influenced by what was going on around the world. So, here we go. Here we go. Thanks for tuning in. So another thing I want to specify is that even before 92, before that, we were buying blank tapes and recording what we heard on the radio. The few hip-hop shows that day were. We had a few though. I mean, the mainstream ones, I remember, was it 180 Hits? That was AM radio back then. But that was, they'd play only MC Hammer, Can't Touch This, Vanilla Ice. What was that Vanilla Ice song? See, I can't even remember. It's so popular and I don't even remember because it was just like, you know. But, you know, that one by Vanilla Ice. Doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom. And they would play Candy Rain. Also, I remember R&B though. The Boys. This was like the 80s. This is what you hear on the radio. But hip-hop? Big Daddy Kane, Ra, Kim, Karis, One, Public Enemy. That was the underground radio stations that would play that stuff. We'd have that like an hour a week or maybe two hours a week, you know. Two different stations an hour each, you know. I remember there was CKUT, which is still alive today. 90.3 FM. And there was K103. 103.7 now. Back then, I'm not sure if it was 103.8. But anyways. Gagnawake. You know, on the Indian Reserve. But those were the only two radio stations that we were getting hip-hop from. But we were getting it back then in real time, live. So, like I don't even, I'm not even sure if, I think it came through here before it hit Toronto. To keep it real. To keep it real. Back then. Talking about back in the 80s, you know. But, anyways. My point is that, yeah. These are the foundation, the beginnings of, you know, the infiltration of the music in our city. So we were blessed. We were blessed. We were blessed with it. And those who were there at the foundation, the radio station. People that were playing it and making us hear it and allowing us to hear it, man. Enough respect. DJ Mike Mission is still doing it. Back then, there was Flight. Ken Dog. Sound Supreme Show. I mean, this is must-listen programming every week back then. Because that's where we got it from. And so we had it early, thanks to these pioneers who are still here doing their thing nowadays. Enough respect to all of them. Can't forget y'all.
