Born in the Bronx -A Visual Record of the Early Days of
Hip Hop
(see photo of book above)
Edited by Johan Kugelberg
Photographs by Joe Conzo
Foreword by Afrika Bambaataa
Original Flyer Art by Buddy Esquire
Timeline by Jeff Chang
Born in the Bronx is a striking anthology of Hip
Hop's baby steps. Not only does it capture the emergence
of a burgeoning culture but also the fashion and
character of the surrounding community. From rare
photographs of MC's and DJs to records, flyers, and
other ephemera, writer Johan Kugelberg has pulled
together the scattered remains of a movement that never
has its eye on posterity. The book includes the
improvisational artwork of previously unpublished street
flyers of the era, Polaroids buried for decades in
basements across the
Bronx,
and testimonials from the most scholarly historians of
Hip Hop culture - the legends and pioneers who lived it!
Through Born in the
Bronx,
Joe Conzo (described by The New York Times as "the
chronicler who took hip hop's baby pictures") presents a
unique cross-section of an explosive and experimental
time in music history.
- Hip Hop's first photographer, Joe Conzo provides the
majority of images of legends and urban scenes from
1977-1982. Additional photos were contributed by fellow
pioneering documentarians Charlie Ahearn and Henry
Chalfant.
- Photos feature The Cold Crush Brothers, Treacherous 3,
Afrika Bambaataa, Busy Bee, Run DMC, Wayne "The Hip Hop
Ventriliquist" & Charlie, Fantastic Romantic,
Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Funky Four + 1,
Kool DJ AJ Scratch, GrandWizzard Theodore and more.
- Flyers created by Buddy Esquire feature Hip Hop jams
from 1978-1985. Obscure flyers advertise early Hip Hop
jams in
Brooklyn, Queens and even Connecticut!
- Essays were contributed by legends: GrandMaster Caz,
JDL, Joe Conzo, Mare 139,
GrandWizzard Theodore,
LA Sunshine and Jorge "Fabel" Pabon plus a poem by DJ
Disco Wiz and an interview with Buddy Esquire.
- The hard cover is embossed. The dust cover unfolds to
reveal a poster: "The Hip Hop Map of the
Bronx"
by Joe Conzo and Tony Tone...
Just
peeped out the new DVD, "Eminem Live From New
York City" (Eagle Vision). Recorded live at NY's
Madison Square Garden, Eminem's concert features
guest appearances from D-12 (one of the last
times you will see Proof on stage with Eminem),
Obie Trice & Stat Quo. I am a fan of
Eminem, but this concert came across missing some of
Eminem's hits like, "The Real Slim Shady," "Superman,"
"Shake That" & "Bitch Please II." But this dvd has
footage of Eminem performing his classics like, "Stan,"
"The Way I Am," "Mockingbird" & "Lose Yourself." I think
Em's skits thru out the video showing him putting a gun
to his head & pulling the trigger is a bit too harsh for
his younger fans who may mistake his message. Otherwise
if you're an Eminem fan, than this may make a good
stocking stuffer for the holidays...

Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Papa-D (Rap Network): "Peace everyone,
Papa D here about 1000 pounds heavier than last
week...lets just say I got my turkey on for real this
year. mom dukes hooked it up....It was a relaxing
weekend overall, and I have exams starting next week, so
I needed the rest....my Patriots barely squeezed
one out against Philly last nite, but i am glad
they won and that it was at least an exciting
game.....make sure to get at me for Guru
interviews, and check
www.papadpromo.com for the latest mp3
updates"...
Vernassa Fields
(Live365.com
- Spyn Cycal Radio): Just a heads up. I am preparing
to start promoting shows in the
Sacramento
area... I will need access to artist AND booking
agents.Yeah, I know. I've heard the horror stories...
I'm not a sleaze bag. I promise. I am genuinely
interested in bring great Hip-Hop music to the area.
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme for me. It's a way
to expose amazing talent, and expand the Spyn Cycal
brand.
I get
super hyped about the artists I play on Spyn Cycal
Raydio, and I just want to share the sounds with as many
folks as possible via live performances from Spyn Cycal
Raydio artists. My objective is to spread the music and
establish myself as a solid reliable promoter. Help me
help you and your artists. With your cooporation, The
Spyn Cycal brand will be known for good quality live
Hip-Hop shows. I'm currently scheduling a show for
Spring 2008... Please keep me informed of your artist's
touring schedules as well as their availability. Spyn
Cycal is expanding... Spyn Cycal wants to see more
shows! So... I will bring them myself.
I'm
sending a list of months your way. PLEASE get at me ASAP
with artists that you would like to add to the series.
You don't need to submit an exact date (yet), but if you
can provide me with an idea of who you have available by
adding the artist(s) name(s) by the desired month, I can
start promoting the series with your artists included.
I
would also like to use this calendar as a sponsorship
tool as well. I would like to present a list of acts
coming to the Sacramento area to potential sponsors.

Infinite
(WRUW-Cleveland): "First off, I have to start by
sayin that the Statik Selektah album is
incredible!! One of the best album's i've heard in a
long time. Seriously, I like everything on it. You need
it in your collection! Thats all.... we now return to
our regularly scheduled program"...
Edgie
Kokoski
(WUNH-NH):
"Boo hoo,
Saigon
packed up his toys and went home. If you didn't hear,
Saigon put out a lengthy rant on his myspace page
blasting the media, hip hop fans, and his industry
colleagues for driving him out of the business. He
claims that he will never rap again, and will not
release his major label debut "The Greatest Story Never
Told" (ironic title). Although I took the time to read
the blog posting, I couldn't help but wish it were still
2003, when I still gave a shit about Saigon. I guess he
shouldn't have fired Turtle from "Entourage" as his
manager. The silver lining here is that Just Blaze
can come out of the witness protection program and
start selling beats again to artists who we are actually
checking for.
What is up with celebrity jail sentences? I heard that
Lindsay Lohan served 84 minutes of her sentence,
Mike Tyson got only 24 hours for reckless driving
and drug possession, and that Michael Vick went
to jail early in the hopes of turning 4 1/2 years into a
single 12 month stretch. I think that celebrities should
be given MORE jail time than normal offenders, because
they deserve it for squandering fame and fortune that
others would kill for. It's a travesty when Linday Lohan
spends just over an hour in the clink while South
Park Mexican and Mystikal rot away. Oh
wait...
Enough with the "Brokeback" jokes. Everytime something
gay is mentioned anywhere on the planet earth, some
uncreative son-of-a-bitch feels the need to pipe in with
a "Brokeback" reference. Today my boss was telling my
crew about how he accidentally booked a gay friendly
hotel on his last vacation, and one of my co-workers
chimed in "Did they give you the 'Brokeback' suite"?
Hardy-fucking-har-har genius. Let's get you an audition
on Saturday Night Live. Newsflash budding comedians:
when Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien have
already used the joke in their monologues 3 years
earlier, it's neither fresh, nor creative, nor funny. If
you want to read something funny, I suggest
Saigon's
myspace page"...
Raw-B
(KUSF-San
Francisco): "What up! Our studios were packed like a
MUNI bus during rush hour this past Sunday on BeatSauce.
The Elevation Tour was in town and Now On, Buff 1, DJ
Haircut, 14KT and Manwell came through with a
grip of music and freestyles for our listeners. Get more
