Episode 228: In this episode, Mark is joined once again by the legendary DJ from Doug E. Fresh and The Get Crew, the one and only DJ Chill Will! We focus on discussing the 40 year anniversary of two landmark Hip Hip songs with Doug E. Fresh and Slick Rick- "La-Di-Da-Di" and "The Show'. We talk about the behind the scenes of recording, performing and the impact of these two songs. We also discuss the changing of technology for DJ's, when money became an issue for the music, performing live shows, wearing gear on record covers, the evolving ways people receive music, radio's importance in the early days and how it has changed in current times, sampling, posting pictures on social media and old comic book themed tv shows.
