  • From Kid 'n Play to Salt-N-Pepa: The History of Hurby Luv Bug's Hit Machine

    On this episode of Queue points, in our ongoing #HipHop50 series, we spotlight the influential Idol Makers crew and the 1988 release, "Hurby's Machine." Our focus is Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor, a prodigious and prolific producer and writer whose career seemingly froze in the late '90s, and who has remained largely silent in recent decades.

    Join DJ Sir Daniel as he navigates us through this often overlooked chapter of hip hop history, shedding light on Azor's career, the rise of Salt-N-Pepa and Azor’s central role in one of hip hop’s most legendary diss wars - MC Lyte vs. Antoinette. Alongside Jay Ray, DJ Sir Daniel delves into the compelling story of The Idol Makers, the compilation album "Hurby's Machine," and the crew's leader, Hurby Azor. Tune in for a conversation about one of hip hop’s unsung producers.

  • From Crack to Chronic: Preventing A Second Wave of the Crack Epidemic Through Hip Hop

    In this bonus clip, guest Donovan X. Ramsey, reads from his book "When Crack Was King: A People’s History of a Misunderstood Era” highlighting the move from the use of crack to chronic. Ramsey reads from his chapter “Intervention” which explores how popular hip hop albums and songs of the late 80s and 90s played a significant role in shifting attitudes about crack, ultimately promoting an anti-drug theme. Films like "New Jack City," "Boyz n the Hood," and "Jungle Fever" also contributed to shaping perceptions of crack use among young Black and Brown folks.

    The hosts delve into how rappers released numerous songs warning about the consequences of crack, debunking the myth that rap glamorized drugs. Ramsey shares his theory that Dr. Dre, whose album "The Chronic" coincided with a decline in hard drug use and a spike in marijuana use among Black and Brown teenagers, was an instrumental factor in preventing a second wave of crack.
