Here are some articles written a few years ago by the hip-hop legend Pop Master Fabel. It provides excellent information on hip-hop culture. It's a three part series.

Hydrolyphic on "Thes Hip Hop History Lesson"

Hydrolyphic — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 20:48:13 +0000

Don't know why I didn't think to share this with y'all earlier, but last October down at the University of Oregon me and the homies were presented with the incredible chance to catch a guest lecture by Thes One in the relatively new "Hip Hop History" class. None of us were actually enrolled in the class (though one took the class the previous year), but of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity. So anyways, it was f**king DOPE.... Especially for 18 and 19 year old kids like us who didn't get to experience first-hand the rise of Hip Hop, and weren't even in the class.

Thes essentially boiled Hip Hop down to two basic concepts: destruction and re-appropriation. Pretty great simplification, imo. Topics covered included a short history of drum machines and samplers, mpc's vs sp's, how he got his name, among other things. It's been a while since I listened to it. Again, a pretty simplified history, as this was a college lecture and only about 80 minutes, but it was awesome to hear Thes' opinions and philosophies, as well as the added bonus of the thesaurus name story and some cracks at phil collins and will.i.am.

Oh, and the homie recorded it all on his iPhone. Check it out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1iud33hscwk7e7c

sh!t man, your connected, tony soprano style or something! Right, good to know, it sounds like there are a few options. If we can pick a cheaper venue, then it'll minimise the risk i suppose. Think that we'll still need to wait and see when they're gonna come to the Jazz Cafe though. I'll send you an email to your address, and keep the communication up. It'd be so awesome to contribute to sorting out a gig...

Krashslaughta is awesome, I didn't realise he was a local lad... I've got an amazing mix by him on rotation at the moment.

The guy who I'm trying to sort it out through djs all over the place in glasgow, the buff, abc, he's doing the club noir halloween night tomorrow too. He goes by the name of frantic ant... You probably know him too. DJs in glasgow all seem to know eachother.
