What's up NS?



I have a radio show at my school this semester. We are trying to do themes for each week to keep it spicy and unique.


The show is "golden age" hip hop (late 80's to ~2001 roughly).

Some themes we have so far: Dead artists, groups-only, east coast, west coast, solo-artists, but I think we need roughly 4 or 5 more themes for shows.


What do you suggest NS?

Samples.

Play songs that all use the same sample. Maybe play the original song too.

I think that you should definitely try to mix in some underground rap. There are lots of talented rap artist out there whose music is not well known. Also old school, famous rappers, bounce, and if your really looking to diversify it add some Latin rap or rap from different cultures.

"Underground" rap is as broad a topic as the "golden age."

I would say beefs, actual hip hop vs. rap, or pick one year specifically.

Imagine this - 'OP PRESENTS: Rappers who went soft: An Ice Cube Extravaganza'

Start with his deep cuts and slowly progress into sound bites from Are We There Yet?
