Takes me back to Sunday afternoons as a kid. Dad would be frying fish in the kitchen while this funky masterpiece blasted from the living room stereo. Bob James — “Westchester Lady”

I’ve always loved this beat. Somehow it hits even harder for me today than it did back then. Still bumps after all these years. M.C. Hammer — “Pump It Up”

My all-time Mount Rushmore of rap producers, based strictly on their ’80s work: Marley Marl at #1, followed by Rick Rubin, Dr. Dre, and Matt Dike of Delicious Vinyl. Honorable mention: Hurby Luv Bug.

My all-time favorite KISS concert. I’ve watched this hundreds of times since I first got the VHS back in the day. Eric and Bruce really stand out on this one.

Eric B. Never Scared — My top Eric B. & Rakim track. I was surprised when I found out that funky sample came from the Eagles’ “Those Shoes” from 1979.

Breeze – "L.A. Posse." One of my top 10 favorite rap songs. The first time I saw this video, I went to the mall that same day to buy it. They were sold out of the album, so I bought the cassette single instead and bumped it nonstop. I still don't know why this wasn't a bigger hit?
