Two US hip-hop radio channels have integrated the iTunes Music Store into their websites: Power 106 (KPWR-FM, Los Angeles) and HOT 97 (WQHT-FM, New York). Hip-hop legend Jay-Z called the move "a big thing", adding: "What I love about it is 10-15 years ago...they said hip hop was a fad. And when you get something like this happening... It's an amazing thing!"

Washington – African-American and Latino teens with a turntable and time on their hands in the 1970s invented hip-hop -- born in the USA and now the center of a mega music and fashion industry around the world.

Hip-hop began 30 years ago in the South Bronx, a borough of New York City, a neighborhood that seemed to exemplify the bleakness of poor urban places.

Using turntables to spin old, worn records, kids in the South Bronx began to talk over music, mostly on the streets and in basements in what were called block parties, creating an entirely new music genre and dance form. This "talking over," or MCing (rapping) or DJing (audio mixing or scratching), became the essence of rap music, break dance and graffiti art, according to Marvette Perez, curator at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, which is planning a new exhibit on the history of hip-hop.

Part 4 - "Best Rap/Hip-Hop"

In all honesty, 6 months ago, I knew very little about the local Rap/Hip-Hop scene. I have enjoyed Steve Austin, Pikahsso and Tahiti live performances a few times over the years, otherwise, I've always been stuck up the arse of other genres.

Alan and I invited Pikahsso into the TexasGigs.com studio back in December of 2005 for for an audio interview and we were both instantly hooked. We all were hooked. Since meeting, interviewing and getting to know the artists and the music of the local Rap/Hip-Hop, R&B community here in Dallas-Fort Worth, I've fallen in love on more than one occasion. Do yourselves a favor and don't neglect all this amazing talent right here under our noses.

Oseao Studios was so cozi with it's fireplace smack down in the middle of the floor. B-Girl is a great dancer and a fun lady to hang with.

Special thanks to B-Girl and Oseao Studios!
