A Brush With Greatness

When you love Hip Hop you never know who you’ll run into when you’re “creepin’ through the hood.” For our very own C.O. a shopping trip turned legendary when she picked up a Grammy Award winner and dope MC in Ms. Lauryn Hill. Beautiful and gracious, a picture was not too much to ask for L. Boogie and we reciprocated with a musical trip down memory lane for the former Fugee. Masta Talka and Angry Engineer joined in to discuss the panic over Ebola and to unveil a new feature: “Douche Bags on Parade.” Yep, we said goodbye and good luck to Michael Dunn’s murderous ass; speculated on Oscar Pistorious’ fate and wondered how an unarmed kid would fight a cop with a gun in a police cruiser. Hmmm. At least the Hip Hop wasn’t questionable. Tracks from L. Boogs, birthday boy Wyclef Jean, the Beastie Boys, UMC’s, the Wu, Snoop and Dre took center stage. Snoop, you were right. Stacey Dash, you were wrong. Um Mr. President they’ve declined your credit card – AGAIN!!!! It’s Boom Bap Radio.
