Ep.79 - #UKBHM 2020: Rodney P

<p>It's October, which means it's UK Black History Month! We decided to celebrate with five retrospectives on five legends of UK Black Music. We begin in the true roots of UK Hip-Hop, a bridge between the Windrush Generation, their children and their children's children, all through the prism of music. We begin our celebration with the Godfather of UK Hip-Hop, Rodney P and chart the links between the genres you know of and may not know of.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/r0ykYAAqLxc">Extra Credit: Tim Westwood's 1987 BBC Documentary "Bad Meaning Good"</a><br> <br>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (3:30)<br>Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (23:17)<br>The UK Hip-Hop landscape in the 80s - (32:53)<br>London Posse's "Gangster Chronicles" - (42:37)<br>Rodney P: The 'P' stands for "Pioneer" - (51:00)<br>All Black British Music had to be together to survive - (57:00)<br>Final Thoughts - (1:12:14)<br>Lighter Note - (1:16:12)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
