For anyone interested.... This week's "Fresh Air" on NPR is devoted to rap music. Last night I listened to two good interviews with on of the RUN-DMC'ers and Russell Simmons. Right now I'm listening to Terry Gross interviewing Ice-T. I'm guessing these will be archived somewhere on NPR's website.
Yep. Monday: Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel Tuesday: Russel Simmons, Run-DMC, L.L. Cool J, Chuck D
