Grandmaster Flash (born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1958 in Bridgetown, Barbados) is a hip hop musician and DJ; one of the pioneers of hip-hop DJing, cutting, and mixing.

Saddler's family migrated to the United States, and he grew up in the Bronx. He became involved in the earliest New York DJ scene, attending parties set up by early luminaries. Learning from Pete Jones and Kool Herc, he used duplicate copies of a single record and two turntables (for cutting) but added a dexterous manual edit with a mixer to promote the break (the ordinary playing of the record would be interrupted to overlay the break, the break could be repeated by using the mixer to switch channels while the second record was spun back). Flash got his nickname in school due to the fact that he hung around with another guy named Gordon (from Flash Gordon) and "Grandmaster" originated from after playing a party and being approached by someone who said he was the equivalent of a chess grandmaster. He also invented the technique initially called cutting, which was developed by Grand Wizard Theodore into scratching (AMG).

N.W.A. ("Niggaz With Attitude") was a hip hop group that was formed in Compton, California in 1986, and disbanded in 1991.

Over the course of the five years the group was together, they continually redefined the face of West Coast hip hop in both lyrical and instrumental ways. N.W.A. was one of the first gangsta rap groups to achieve widespread commercial success without radio airplay or many other conventional mainstream promotions.

Their second album, Straight Outta Compton, marked the beginning of the new gangsta rap era as the production and lyrics were revolutionary with respect to the previous early 1980s releases of the genre. Many of the band members have gone on to lead successful solo careers.

Widely understood to be a drug-dealer, Eazy-E began Ruthless Records. Ice Cube had already written a song for him, "Boyz-N-Tha-Hood", and when one of the bands on his label rejected it, Eazy-E decided to rap it himself. He formed the "Niggaz With Attitude" (N.W.A.) with Ice Cube and Tom van Vooren as the MCs and former World Class Wreckin' Cru members Dr. Dre and DJ Yella as producers as well as rappers Arabian Prince and The D.O.C.. Eazy-E released the party album N.W.A. and the Posse on his Ruthless Records label. Although marketed as N.W.A. debut album, half the songs didn't feature N.W.A., but rather a loose connection of artists on Ruthless Records. After this, for unknown reasons Arabian Prince and The D.O.C. were no longer in N.W.A., but both continued to ghostwrite for the group. MC Ren was added to N.W.A. in 1988, after Arabian Prince and The D.O.C left the group.

Afrika Bambaataa (born Kevin Donovan on April 17 or October 4, 1957 or 1960)[1] is a DJ and community leader from the South Bronx, who was instrumental in the early development of hip hop throughout the 1970s.

During Bambaataa's early years, he was a founding member of the Bronx River Projects-area street gang, The Savage Seven. Due to the explosive growth of the gang, it later became known as the Black Spades, and he rose to the position of Division Leader. After a life-changing visit to Africa, he changed his name to Afrika Bambaataa Aasim. Bambaataa was influenced by the depiction of the Zulu warriors attacking British troops at Rorke's Drift in the Michael Caine film Zulu.

After the visit, Bambaataa decided to use his leadership to turn those involved in the gang life into something more positive to the community. This began the development of The Organization, which soon later became known as the Zulu Nation, a group of racially and politically aware rappers, B-boys, graffiti artists and other people involved in hip hop culture that gained fame in the early eighties to mid nineties. By 1977, inspired by DJ Kool Herc, Bambaataa had begun organizing block parties all around the South Bronx, and he was soon renowned as one of the best DJs in the business. In 1980, he produced Soul Sonic Force's landmark single, "Zulu Nation Throwdown".

In 1982, Bambaataa organized the very first European hip hop tour....

In music, Louis Armstrong revolutionized jazz while living in the Bronzeville neighborhood; Thomas A. Dorsey "invented" gospel and Mahalia Jackson popularized the form; Muddy Waters, Howlin'Wolf, Willie Dixon, Hound Dog Taylor, and others re-invented the Blues in West and South side clubs; and Nat King Cole seamlessly fused jazz and popular music.

Many Chicago jazz enthusiasts will remember when the South Side of Chicago was the center of jazz in the Midwest. Hyde Park was a part of this rich history of jazz; during the 1940s and 1950s, jazz flourished here and in our neighboring Woodlawn community. Hyde Park and Woodlawn became the center of jazz for the City of Chicago and arguably the Midwest.

It was an era when the great jazz musicians of the day played on 47th and Drexel at he Sutherland Hotel, and the legendary Bee Hive Lounge on 55th Street, along with the Pershing Lounge on 63rd Street. There were many smaller clubs on 51st, 53rd, and 63rd Streets, where you could listen to jazz on any given weekend until 4 or even 5 am in the morning. It was an era when the great jazz musicians of the day, including Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, and many, many others played to huge standing room only crowds who came to Hyde Park and Woodlawn to hear the best jazz sounds of those days. As one "old timer" has said, Hyde Park/Woodlawn was where it all happened...there was nothing but jazz everywhere you went. It was wonderful."

One of the last bastions of live blues on the South Side, the Checkerboard Lounge was owned by blues great Buddy Guy in the 1970s and early 80's. the club hosted memorable jam sessions featuring visiting rockers such as the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton as well as blues legends Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy, who gave up his interest after a dispute with the building's landlord. L.C. Thurman became the proprietor , and continues in that capacity at the new location. The old Checkerboard Lounge, 423 E 43rd St-E Muddy Waters Dr. was such a landmark in the Bronzeville neighborhood that the city designated several blocks of 43rd as "Muddy Waters Drive." But the building fell into disrepair, with the walls structurally unsound and the ceiling sagging. It was closed by the city in 2003, and news that the club might reopen in Hyde Park rather than Bronzeville was greeted with picketing in December 2003 by a group called Friends of the Checkerboard. Opposition to the move faded when Thurman's efforts to relocate in Bronzeville were unsuccessful. Buddy Guy went on to open Buddy Guy's Legends in the South Loop neighborhood where on any given night a legend will stroll in just to jam. Why? Because they can.

The first performance of The Smashing Pumpkins was on July 9, 1988 at the Polish bar Chicago 21. However, this performance only included Corgan and Iha with a drum machine.[7] On August 10, 1988, the band played for the first time as a trio at the Avalon Nightclub.[8] After this show, Cabaret Metro, in the Wrigleyville neighborhood, owner Joe Shanahan agreed to book the band provided they threw out the drum machine and recruit a live drummer. Jazz drummer Jimmy Chamberlin was recruited for the band after a recommendation from a friend of Corgan's.[8] The addition of Chamberlin was at first an unlikely match, as Chamberlin knew nothing of alternative music at the time. As Corgan recalled of the period, "We were completely into the sad-rock, Cure kind of thing. It took about two or three practices before I realized that the power in his playing was something that enabled us to rock harder than we could ever have imagined". On October 5, 1988, the complete band took the stage for the first time at the Cabaret Metro. Although not an official member of the band at this point, Chamberlin would soon be announced as such, and the complete four-person lineup from this first show at the Metro would be unchanged for the next seven years.

Plastic Bertrand is a great Belgian singer/entertainer who I can best describe as the French-speaking equivalent of Johnny Rotten, just waaayyy more cheesy and willing to play the game for the fun of it. It sometimes looks as all being a big joke to him. He's sublime!

Zebda is a French music group from Toulouse. The group consists of seven musicians who met for the first time in 1985. The name of the group, the Arabic word for butter (or beurre in French), is a play on the use of the word beur in French slang to refer to Arabs. Several of the group's members are of North African descent.

Their music is influenced by these roots as well as music from all over the world, for example reggae, rap, raï and rock, and their lyrics deal with issues affecting the Arab population in France (amongst other things).
