We have lost an absolute musical MAESTRO in Burt Bacharach. His protean partnership with Hal David reshaped Pop as we know it. Their combination of precision & pathos influenced an extraordinary array of artist/composers - from Wonder to Costello to Ocean.

now granted they might not be your favorite (and there were 2 crucial 11th hour (more like 10 mins before taping) cancellations that mighta made it look like we were biased in our choices. but just understand we literally tried to SQUEEEEEEEZE everyone in.

we had a criteria we wanted to follow: alive? harmonizing? turntablism? fighting shape? NYC? LA? BAY? ATL? NAWLINS? HOUSTON? MIDWEST☑️ born before 1960? born after 1995? Superlyrical? Stylistic? Original? generally known by at least 2 generations?

& this is NOT leading to a tired narrative that women don't get along because there MORE concerns on the men side of things too (happiest moment seeing LL & Ice T just chillin---)---but yeah the most asked question was "who all gone be there?" which is understandable.

we were aware of playing our biases out (if it were me alone? idda just skewered to my teenyears). at one point I said "we should do ALL women!!" ---that idea didn't get too .....far (we didnt have time to do a "Some Kind Of Monster"/Kumbya thing to make that a reality)

this went through a crazy evolution. all my suggestions were 20 min presentations with Breakbeats/Graf Legends/Dancers/DJ/Beatboxers----you'll be shocked how fast 25-40 secs goes by and you don't even get the halfway mark of 1995l remember 1973 to 2023 was the goal

---we decided to eschew those who passed away, & give flowers to the living ---for starters I learned with VH1 Honors not all rappers are good MCs and bad karaoke is a danger slope. And WAY too many legends passed so someone's estate was gonna be heated.

Middle America has to be SO confused right now with these actors Ice T, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah & Jazzy Jeff doing the hip hop.
