Drop the Beat. In this edition of Wonder Why, we're kicking it old  school style. Taking it back to the streets of Brooklyn as @chadsmart  and @MikeDeKalb break down the history of Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock. The  two rap pioneers hit the Top 40 chart with the infectious crowd-pleaser  "It Takes Two" in 1988.  Personal issues and a changing musical  landscape are two reasons the rap duo may have only had one chart hit.  Even without chart success, Rob Base has had a steady career and still  performs regularly on '80s and '90s throwback concerts.

After the discussion of Rob Base, Mike and Chad offer up their picks  of the month for Septober. One's a band with over a decade of of  success, the other pick is a new band promoting their first album.
