Mood:  a-ok

back to the 2007 retrospective, wrapping up the second half of this series. all of the music on this show was provided by the podsafe music network, a site that really shouldn't be slept on. real dope tracks slip in there when you least expect them to, so keep tabs on the pmn in the oh-eight.

the "your mother's so hip-hop..." bit is an excerpt from "what is hip-hop?", a great piece from longtime village voice columnist greg tate. the piece itself can be found on an incredible spoken-word compilation called flippin' the script: rap meets poetry. it's well over ten years old at this point, but totally worth searching for...lots of verbal firepower on that release.

hope my introductory thoughts aren't too grandiose. it's a new year and i'm reassessing certain aspects of the show, particularly who it's reaching and who it's not reaching. i truly believe in this podcast and i want the world to tune in and be turned on by what they hear. to both the new and returning listeners, i thank each and every one of you for taking the time to hang out at camp lo-fi...
