Radio 1 Rap Show

July 29, 1995
BBC Radio 1 (97-99 FM)
London, England, UK

Ah, the summer of 1995. To quote RZA, "everything was lovely." Tim kicks off this show with the first play of "MCs Act Like They Don't Know" and follows it with some Das EFX, Wu Tang, Kool G Rap and Rakim, plus a KRS One freestyle and a bit of BDP live from 1988. After a few R&B joints, he's joined in the studio with Chuck D for chat while they count down the Top 10 At Ten.

Tim & Chuck speak on Public Enemy, Flavor Flav and the current state of rap (Chuck loves Mack 10) while continuing The Top 10 at Ten. I now remember this show from back in the day as it was the first time I heard "I Got 5 On It"...
