b'Today on The Neil Haley Show, Neil "The Media Giant" Haley and Paul Hollis will interview\\xa0Sean XLG.\\n\\n\\xa0\\n\\nFeaturing interviews with Hip Hop legends like Kurtis Blow, Dana Dane, Rockmaster Scott and the Dynamic 3, Kokane the Hook Master,\\n\\nGrandmaster Mele Mel, Queen Pen, Arrested Development, and the Fat Boys\\n\\nThe style of flashy entertainment first made routine by Motown became the form of Soul music that dominated throughout the 1970s.\\n\\n\\nDisco changed the beat, but not the basic show business emphasis on\\n\\nsurface and form rather than content and meaning. At the same time,\\n\\nthe values of \\u201cartistic expression\\u201d in Rock led to the era of superstar\\n\\nindulgence. Punk was the Rock music reaction to this trend and Rap\\n\\nwas the Black music parallel to the Punk music. It began emerging\\n\\nat approximately the same time, although it took much longer to be\\n\\ndiscovered and publicized. Rap grew out of an impoverished economic environment and thenecessity of the ghetto, in all of its unlikely conditions, made it possible. The kids would cart their turntables, amplifiers, mics and records into the park then pry open the electrical boxes at the base of the park\\n\\n\\n\\nlights and tap into the city\\u2019s power lines. Once the power was turnedon, \\u201cget on the mic and start to rap\\u201d was both the rallying cry and the challenge and the parks and schoolyards of the South Bronx was filled with kids eager to pick it up.'
