So the idea this show was to link up hip hop songs and their respective breaks. I hastily made up the rules on the fly, so they’re followed somewhat inconsistently, but what I was trying for was to play a song (1) by a hip hop artist and then play the source sample (2). Follow that up with another song (3) from the source sample artist, which would lead into a hip hop song (4) which sampled the song 3. Follow that with a different song of the same hip hop artist from (4). So in effect, it would be 2 and 2 from each artist, hip hop to funk, and back again. What can I say, some funk artists got short-changed… Next time, I’ll have to make up the rules ahead of time and follow them somewhat more strictly…
