EP. 10- Wild Style Soundtrack + Return Of The Jedi

The season one finale takes us right back to the days I spoke about in Episode #1. It’s 1983, and my final days living in Germany are upon me, before permanently moving back to the United States. This is the story of one of the last movies I was able to see before leaving, Star Wars Return of the Jedi, and the one I learned I was going to have to miss because of that same move, Wild Style. How much influence that factor had on the Wild Style Soundtrack becoming one of my all-time favorite albums I don’t know, but the importance and brilliance of that album still drives me to listen to it regularly to this day. Plus, as a young inspiring MC, the performances of Grandmaster Caz, Prince Whipper Whip, Shock Dell, Rammellzee, and especially Lil Rodney Cee, were monumental. Plus, as an avid fan of the art of DJing, the sounds of Grandmixer D.st, Grand Wizard Theodore, and DJ Charlie Chase, the focus on the turntable on this soundtrack had an additional impact.
