50 Years of Hip-Hop - 1990: Sample Culture  
Podcast: The Cobain 50
Published On: Wed Nov 08 2023
Description: Roddy Nikpour talks with Chris Read, head of content at WhoSampled, about four iconic tracks from 1990: "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer, "Can I Kick It?" by A Tribe Called Quest, "Fight the Power" by Public Enemy, and "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice. Each of them incorporates iconic samples, so we're unpacking the culture of sampling in hip-hop, as well as misconceptions behind the craft.  Written and produced by Roddy Nikpour.  Podcast managed by Isabel Khalili.  Support the podcast: kexp.org/50hiphop See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
