...#RealFacts in 1984 I create the tape ‘PublicEnemy#1’ as a promo for radio station WBAU 90.3 . I pass tape across JammasterJay to @DoctorDre39 .. The promo catches fire. Jay takes back to RUSH. Adam Mike Adam of BB hear it from Hollis Crew. RickRubin wants this MC for @defjam ..The MC turns RickRubin down in 85-86 NOT wanting to record. @DoctorDre39 Dre creates BASS music w OriginalConcept. Rick suggests the MC rap with OC. Still a NO. Dre becomes 2nd DJ for the BB. Bill Stephney becomes exec at @defjam. PE1 spreads as a weird car anthem on LongIsland

The key in fandom is knowing yourself 1st. The key is being a artist is KNOW you 1st.Then maybe the 2 meet & dance. However Art is short for ‘ARTificial’ it’s a facsimile of life. It’s NOT living. It reflects that. The leaders of Politics & Religion stole a page outta that book. In the USA the place is so Big & so all over the place that is low on preparing its humans on the world. Especially culture . Always low bar sht thrown at its mASSes. Quantity prevails from those metrics. Organic movement gets reduced & redefined like Love & HipHop for example

Errrrr R&B is short term for Rhythm and Blues .. which artists have & do ....good& bad . Today especially. That’s the term. Jerry Wexler one of @AtlanticRecords foundation giants created the term while working as a writerthe @billboard race charts in 1950. #KNOWwhatyousayYouLOVE @billboard editor PaulAckerman sent JerryWexler home to come up with the new term because RACE records was considered derogatory to a new movement of Blackfolk post World War 2. Especially in New York. Thus the Rhythm and Blues CHARTS were born ..R&B ..people #LearnYOURmusic
