OTL 58: Bill Adler Excerpt #1 “Coke LaRock and Pioneering Hip Hop” lyrics

Bill Adler: That was something I found on Youtube. I can't remember who put me onto it, but I was really delighted because a lot of the pioneering hip hoppers - indeed there was a whole generation of pioneering hip hoppers who never recorded! Their entire careers were spent in night clubs and what not, and if anything survives of their work it's a live performance that someone with a cassette recorder happened to catch from the back of the room. And Coke LaRock is one of those guys. I don't think he ever made a record. So I was thrilled to be able to put him on the "Jollies" this year.
