Juggernaut Radio

Juggernaut Radio presents Hip Hop's favorite past time. Most people look at this date (April 20th) and this time (4:20pm)as the time to either raise the political awareness of the benefits of the legalization of cannabis or the celebration of the intake of the plant for recreational purposes. What Juggernaut Radio decided to do on this day though was to look back and share with our fans the Hip Hop that was inspired by this particular day (or time...or code), by some of their favorite artists over the years. It wasn't hard to pull up "cannabis classics" by the likes of Method Man & Redman, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Mic Geronimo, Ice Cube and more...

So kick back, relax, do what U do because Juggernaut Radio is ready to take you on an excursion you may never want to return from.

As the 80's ended in Hip Hop, Hip Hop didn't end in the 80s. In fact, it continued to grow and spread its influence all over the planet. By the time the early 90s approached, Ice Cube and Will Smith's careers hit full stride when they charted heavy both in film, television and the music charts. New artists burst on the scene leaving behind their legacy like 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. Producers like Teddy Riley and DJ Premiere's talents caught fire in the music world. And this was all just a tip of the iceberg of the impending storm of Hip Hop artists to come! Once again, we chronicled for you some of those defining artists in this era including NWA, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Digital Underground and of course, the late Heavy D.

There is little argument that in the late 80s Hip Hop experienced a serious creative spurt of originality in both the music and the lyrical flow. The attention shifted from the DJ taking center stage (though DJs still played a very crucial role in developing an artist's signature sound) to the MC moving toward the forefront. Now, record companies were starting to take Hip Hop seriously and artists found themselves on signing lucrative deals (Mantronix is the first Hip Hop act in history to receive a seven figure music contract). Juggernaut Radio presents Hip Hop in the late 80s with artists like Public Enemy, Slick Rick, Too $hort, De La Soul, NWA, MC Lyte and a whole lot more artists who contributed to shaping Hip Hop's most defining moment in its young history.

2011 marked the year of occupation. The American people nationwide posted up right within the vicinities of corporations, government offices and anywhere else they could be seen/heard/understood to publicly declare their disgust of corporate greed and the shady politics that promote/condone it. Juggernaut Radio took it a step further. We decided this go 'round to OCCUPY HIP HOP! Let's take the music back and let THE PEOPLE determine its worth... Not record execs, not corporate suits, not even some of these media outlets. The Liks, Agent 85, The Coup, KRS 1, and special guest DAMION GLASS (Bay Area talent) + a special message from a high profile leader (y'all know who it is..)

Welcome to Part III of Juggernaut Radio's exclusive coverage of our Hip Hop Anthology, where we actually chronicle the time line through the music we love called Hip Hop. As the 80s progressed, we saw various changes in Hip Hop as music companies started to see the validity of the profitability that this music generated. It was a time when females came to the forefront, gangster rap was born and love ballads became big sellers! Continue the journey with us as we pick up right from where we left off from the last show with artists like Run DMC, Salt N Pepa, Schooly D, Beastie Boys and Joe Ski Love. Hip Hop was here to stay, and it was only getting better...

Does it really seem that long since 'Pac has been gone? You wouldn't think so because his music is still as relevant today as it was some 15 - 20 years ago when he originally recorded. Suga Cz of Juggernaut Radio recently took some time to reflect and share with our audience the influence, the passion, and the appreciation of one of MUSIC'S most influential artists of the twentieth century.

The Wu-Tang Clan was assembled in 1992 with RZA as the de facto leader and the group's producer.[2] RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after the film Shaolin and Wu Tang.[7] The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections.

The Wu-Tang Clan first became known in 1993 following the release of the independent single "Protect Ya Neck", which immediately gave the group a sizable underground following, especially after their tour with Kat Nu and Cypress Hill. Though there was some difficulty in finding a record label that would sign the Wu-Tang Clan while still allowing each member to record solo albums with other labels, Loud/RCA finally agreed, releasing their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in 1993. This album turned out to be critically acclaimed, and to date is regarded as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.[9][10][11] The success of Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers established the group as a creative and influential force in mid 1990s hip hop, allowing Ol' Dirty Bastard, GZA, RZA, Raekwon, Method Man, and Ghostface Killah to negotiate solo contracts. RZA spoke on the Wu-Tang Clan's unorthodox business model:

We reinvented the way hip hop was structured, and what I mean is, you have a group signed to a label, yet the infrastructure of our deal was like anyone else's [...] We still could negotiate with any label we wanted, like Meth went with Def Jam, Rae stayed with Loud, Ghost went with Sony, GZA went with Geffen Records, feel me? [...] And all these labels still put "Razor Sharp Records" on the credits [...] Wu Tang was a financial movement. So what do you wanna diversify...? [...] Your assets?[12]
—RZA

With the colonization of Hip Hop by the powers that be here in the United States, its customary to not be exposed to great artists internationally. If there is any, it is very minute and inconsistent. Juggernaut Radio proudly presents to the American public Hip Hop, fresh from Lagos, Nigeria. Tune in as we feature international talent DMSquared in an interestingly candid interview fusing awareness of Hip Hop between North America and Nigeria. We also feature great talented artists out of Lagos, Nigeria including Freddie Free, Tasti, Griot XL and our featured track produced by Don Jazzy f/Jay Z, Beyonce, and Kanye West!
