I found some hidden treasure...

Yesterday I mentioned how I love the record label BBE. Well, through a person on the site I was hooked up with a link that contained the following MP3's...

2 Mr. Magic Rap Attack radio shows from WBLS in New York from 1988!

2 Marley Marl and Pete Rock Radio shows from the same station in 1989!

Right now I am playing the first Mr. Magic show. So far I've heard Kurtis Blow, Fat Boys, Doug E. Fresh, etc. mixed together. I have also heard commercials from some liquor store in NYC and a Colt 45 commercial featuring Billy Dee Williams!!! It even has the station identifications in there.

So far the Pete Rock/Marley Marl shows seem better.

After listening to these I wish I would have grown up in New York during the 80's and early 90's.
