Afrika Bambaataa touched down in The Bean this weekend to rock Fresh Produce at Good Life.
The homey Dana Scott landed a much coveted interview with the Jesus Godfather Of Hip Hop, and asked if I would like to ask some questions.
Quite honestly, I hate meeting my heroes, and have nothing in particular to ask them due to the fact I’ve Stanned them do death my whole life.
When it’s Afrika Bambaataa, who is not only a defining catalyst in the creation of rap music, but also 10 different music genre’s, a ninja has no choice but to throw himself into the fire.
I had my genius son with me, who you can see in the background of the interview doing everything but sitting peacefully.
Bam couldn’t have been any more humble, kind, and patient.
Shouts to Pacey Foster, fellow music nerd extraordinaire, who came through in the clutch with his video camera at the very last minute.
By the way, Bam and I share the same birthday – April 17th. I just wanted to tell you in case you were impressed by that fact. Afrika Bambaataa sure wasn’t.
