If you were born in the sixties/seventies than you HAVE to remember when hip hop first made it’s way onto the music scene - I am talking about original hip hop, like Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Grandmaster Flash, KRS-1, etc.  Well, XM Radio has this station now called “The Rhyme” and it plays non-stop, commercial free, old school hip hop - around the clock.  It is AWESOME!!!  I have been listening to this station for weeks now, driving my friends and family crazy.

There is nothing better than driving your kids to the daycare and getting to hear JJ Fad’s Supersonic on the way and freaking your kids out because you know all the words to the portion of the song that spells out S.U.P.E.R, or pulling up to the daycare to pick them up with “Flavor Flav is the sun, Public Enemy number one, Gotcha runnin’ from the gun (pow), Of a brain that weighs a ton” blaring from your piece of crap stock stereo speakers!  It is classic. 

I keep calling my friends and blaring it in their voice mail’s just to further drive them insane.  My husband keeps saying “I thought you hated rap music…” Well, I do hate 50 Cent and Kanye West and the rest of the punk rappers that are around these days, but seriously, who hates some old L.L. Cool J singing “Going back to Cali?” - yeah that is what I thought - NO ONE!  So I will continue to drive all my friends and family nuts and I will continue to call my husband at 7:15 am and when he answers and says “What’s Up?” I will again answer, “I’ll tell you what’s up, buddy…The Roof, The Roof, The Roof is on fire!” - Tee Hee.

P.S. Here are those lyrics to that one part of the Supersonic song, in case you need a reminder!

You see, the S is for super, and the U is for unique
The P is for perfection and you know that we are freaks
The E is for exotic, and the R is for raps
So tell those nosy people just to stay the he’ll back
