non album recording | no label | 1986 | this was a showcase performance rap by Rap Attack during the 1986 Bay Area Rap Contest I produced on KALX - these guys were runners up in contest - the energetic Berkeley duo felt they should have won or at least placed in the contest - but the judges thought otherwise….Sir Quickdraw won | 0:49:02 (Pop‑up) | ||

Billy Jam:
In keeping with the theme of this show for the 2014 Marathon - all calendar year long I will be celebrating my 30 years (1984 - 2014) in radio with lots of throwback tracks (snippets of air checks from bygone era radio shows) - with today's including some classic call-in raps on KALX from October 1990 with my mainman/cohost G-Spot (who these days is on KPFK and KPFA)….plus some other lost/forgotten rap gems from my deep radio air check archives |

Billy Jam:
This time for me in radio was so great - hip-hop had not gone commercial fully and people were fiending for it and down to do call ins - we would do non stop 2 hours of call-ins and never run out…I did try call in raps on WFMU before -f about five or six years ago - but had no success |

Billy, that was an excellent time capsule. Nothing better than that initial spark when creativity was more innocent. |
