Ciao, Joe Welcome To Hip Hop Format Change By INS Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Hip Hop and Rap genres sweeping the nation, the good folks at FolkWax have switched formats. We would like to thank all of the faithful readers of that weekly publication for staying on through our transition and know that you will all be very satisfied with the changes. This week we kickoff our new publication with a brief history on what Hip Hop is and why it is the most important musical form to sweep this great nation and the world. Starting back in the late seventies through the mid-eighties the music being made was mind numbing. The disco craze had grabbed a hold of the youth of this country and slowly squeezed the life out of the party. Leisure suits, high-heeled shoes, bizarre body undulations, and disco balls were all a part of the norm. Hard-working folks from all walks of life were beginning to tire of the endless cycle of bad music and even worse lyrics. "I spent literally years trying to figure out who my dancing queen was, but all I found was sweaty polyester and bad hair," said Mike Rogers, a recovering disco brat, "I'll never get that time back." Like so many others during that time, Mike went on a journey to find true musical happiness and soon found the beat. The beat had been lost for nearly a decade when several young "punks" began mixing their old records on homemade systems that tied two turntables together. One turntable housed the rhythm section while the other allowed for immediate satisfaction with the touch of a finger. The sounds generated by this new system forced everyone to stop and take note. "When I first heard DJ SKRD I was blown away," said Willy Watson, "He manipulated those records like nothing I had ever heard. The sound had what I later learned was called a beat and suddenly the way we were all accustomed to dancing just didn't make any sense." For the first time since the late sixties the world was being treated to a true musical revolution. The first impact zone was the inner city. The ghettos of the United States had always been rebellious to the disco craze and knew that the devil had created that style of music. "Who else could get perfectly good white folk to idolize John Travolta?," said Deacon Johnson, "When I first saw that white leisure suit on that multi-colored dance floor I went straight to my nephew's house and told him to bring his turntables and bible, we about to perform an exorcism on this country." An exorcism they did and the good deacon's nephew brought the beat with a little funk from James Brown. The first single from that revolutionary first recording was "Just Another April Fool." With lyrics like "April fools comes once a year/Everybody knows what they want to hear/We're not trying to make disco fall/We're just here to have a ball/Feel the beat and hear the rhyme/I guess it's time to clear this line/We haven't changed our format nope/Playing Hip Hip would be too dope/We hope you enjoyed our little joke/ Now on to our regularly scheduled program dedicated to Folk!" April Fools! ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 09:21:05 -0500 From: "Luca, Joseph" Subject: MM: More in this week's Folkwax Howdy--- There's also a review of Libby Kirkpatrick's latest, along with a chance for you to rate it.
