Wham Guru! Hi babe, it's Sharon calling. I'm calling to tell you don't worry about nothing baby. Keep your head up, come see me soon. No matter where we face, we must face the moment of truth baby. Hi there everybody, and welcome back to Moments of Truth. My name is Rob. Hopefully after the previous episode, titled One Day You're Here, you still trust me to be your guide over the next series of episodes. If you're joining me from Hits21, thank you so much for coming over from the main show,

and thank you for trusting me again to produce and run a podcast without Lizzie and Andy's help. If you're completely new here, or if you're only listening through this spin-off show, and you're not bothering with the main Hits21 show, then hello, I'm really happy to be able to spend some time with you. If you want a full explanation of what this podcast is all about, head back to the first episode, by all means, where I go into a lot of detail about what I want to achieve with this show. But to be brief, Moments of Truth is a podcast about hip-hop and rap music. into a lot of detail about what I want to achieve with this show.

But to be brief, Moments of Truth is a podcast about hip hop and rap music, more specifically my love for the genre as a white kid from the north west of England, and how I think I can help other people like me fall in love with the genre that's not exactly what we grew up with, but one that you can fall in love with at any age, at any point in your life. From the streets of Stockport, my hometown, to the streets of South Central Los Angeles and back, to Brooklyn and back, the stories told by these artists are more relatable to us than we'd think. At least that's my opinion anyway. These episodes will cover nine different groups of five songs that I love with all my heart,

depending on their subject matter and how much each of them relates to something I've only learned about because hip hop taught me and artists were there to tell me about their experiences. As I mentioned in the previous episode, Through Moments of Truth, we'll be exploring pride, optimism, defiance, family, romance, heartbreak, abuse, social decay, gangs, violence, women's rights, existentialism, religion, and so many other subjects, and how all of these things are the truth to whoever is living through them. And in this second episode, titled I'm Here to Stay, I

thought it would be interesting to contrast the subject of the last episode, which was death, by exploring songs that deal with life. Not necessarily survival and trying to stay alive, but just slices of everyday life for the artists that we're going to be looking at this week. How they feel when they wake up in the morning, how they feel looking at the people and places that they've grown up around, what they did for entertainment and fun as kids and as teenagers, how they earned money and stayed afloat. And we'll actually be continuing this theme through into episode 3 which will be called. Let's keep living but just from a slightly different perspective But more on that in the future

For now, it's time for some music Just to advise you again as I did last time the versions of the songs I'm about to play will be uncensored completely. I think that this is important You know this podcast isn't meant to be difficult or challenging to listen to or anything like that, but the word truth is crucial to the whole concept and everything you'll be hearing over the next bit of time. And I feel like I would be diluting the truth of what these artists have to say for themselves if I was to tamper with their expressions in any way. It isn't my truth

and it's not your truth, but it's the truth to somebody as I said in the previous episode. The first track of this week is from July 2002 and is the fifth track on the seventh studio album to be released by this artist, which was called The Fix. The album reached number four on the billboard charts in America and was among the top 200 best selling albums of 2002 as well. Now, we actually came to the same rapper in episode 1 when we listened to 6 Feet Deep by Ghetto Boys, but we're going to be looking at his solo material in this episode. While you're listening to this song that I'm going to play next, I want you to have a think about what your kingdom

was when you were growing up. In other words, how far were you allowed to go by your parents or guardians when you were a kid in school or a teenager? You know, what did you get up to after school while you were walking your streets and playing out with your friends? How many streets on your estate do you think you know like the back of your hand? And how did your kingdom change as you grew up and started to make your way in the world? I'll once again recommend that you find the Genius lyrics page for this song because honestly, once I read the names of the streets that are mentioned in this song, I was straight on google maps trying to throw a net over the area that this rapper grew up in. And he talks with so much affection about as well.

My kingdom was from the farmer's arms in cheedleheath in stockport, down stockport road to the Audi dealership by the pyramid, up king street west to stockport station, across mercy and Way to Alexandra Park and Davenport and then back down, Gardner's Lane and Councillor Lane to Roscoe's roundabout and the Farmers Arms. I'll never write a song as good as this about those streets though, and it's a shame because they deserve an ode of some kind. Before we jump in, I just want to mention that the sample you'll be hearing, which is taken from Be Real Black for Me by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, is one of the greatest sample flips in the genre's history, I think, just in my humble opinion,

because the vibe it's trying to put across is instant and the impact is really heavy. Try to go, the rest of your day day counting how many times you hear the sample over in your head, how many times it replays itself, it is just that instant, you know how many times you mind playing a piano with the song, you know, or is that just me? Anyway, this is On My Block by Scarface. What's going on in this house is staying here, comprende? On my block you had to have that understanding, because if you told Miss Maddie, she went and told Gladys. Everyday has been the same old thing on my block You either working or you're slinging cocaine on my block You had to hustle, cause that's how we was raised on my block And you stayed on your hop until you made

you a nut On my block to hang out, was the thing back then But neither when you left out you came back in To my block from Hollywood, Belfort to Scotty Re-roll your flocks, we know the spots smoke weed to rocks, drink all the blue dots on your block, you probably bread a fat pat of Tupac a big part of B.I., your homeboy's from Nehi and even when it was storming outside, that nigga be by

that's me dawg on my block, I ain't have to play the big shot niggas knew me back when I was stealing beer from Shamrock and my nickname was Creepy, if Black Ju 2 could see me he'd be trippin' And I bet he'd still try to tease me On my block, everything is everything for Cheezy We probably done it all homie, believe me We made the impossible look easy for Cheezy I'll never leave my block, my niggas need me

On my block, we duckin' nigga haters and the cops Fuck a hot rock, we racin' powers, chrome dot On my block, it ain nigga haters and the cops Fuck a hot rock, we racing power's chrome dot On my block, it ain't no different than the next block You get drunk and pass out and they pack you to the hoth And when you wake up on the cot, you're going right back at it On my block, when your dad fucked up, they laugh at it On my block, it's just another day in the heart Of the south side of Houston, Texas making your mark

On my block we queueing all the time playing dominoes keep the squishes we die till my mama goes back inside then we can fly passing around a few times to get high on my block where everything is everything for sheezy on my block

we probably done it all homie believe me on my block we made the impossible look easy on my block y'all never leave block, my niggas need me My block, but everything is everything for Jeezy My block, we probably done it all homie, believe me My block, we made the impossible look easy for Jeezy I'll never leave my block, my niggas need me My block, everybody business ain't your business What's going on in this house, staying here comprendant My block, you had to have that understanding

Cause if you told Miss Maddie, she went and told Gladys And we punch it, mama got it, it was all on the Y And when the word got back, they set your ass on fire On my block, we got some non-fed shell shock We never quite got right, now they in hell rocks On my block, it's like the world don't exist We stay confined to this small little sex we're living in On my block, I wouldn't trade it for the world

Cause I love these ghetto boys and girls born and raised On my block On my block, everything niggas need me Okay, thank you to Scarface for that.

We are at Hits21UK, just the same as the main podcast, and feel free to send me an email, hits21podcast at gmail.com. If you want to check out the songs in this episode that are being sampled by the artists that we're covering, I will leave a link to each song in the description and you can find all of them right there. Okay, time for track two this week.

This next one is one that doesn't need much of an introduction to be honest, except to say that it is perhaps among the the 10 or 15 songs that any rap or hip-hop fan would show to someone to kind of explain the genre, you know, its origins and best performers, its most notable recordings, all of that stuff. It comes from April 1994 and it's the third track from this artist's debut album. As soon as I mention the name of the album, it'll probably give the game away, but anyway, it's... ilmatic. As always, pull up the lyric sheet, get to know this song, let it live with you for a bit. But I think this one

it's kind of worth mentioning more that for the first time on this podcast the verse you will hear, the first verse you will hear on this song won't be from the artist that the track actually belongs to. Instead the verse is from AZ, a guy who became close friends with the artist that we'll be listening to in a second. And it's amazing really that the two artists on this song were both around 20, 21 years of age when they recorded this. You know, I can't really imagine being that age and coming up with something like this even with some help. With this one just let the instrumental wash over you a bit and if you can find some old footage of New York City skylines preferably ones that feature the Sun going down on another hot day in Queensbridge. This is Life's a Bitch by Nas featuring AZ. I switched my motto instead of saying fuck tomorrow that book that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto. You know how that go? I'm sayin' that's what this is all about, right? Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes, you know what I'm sayin'?

Yo, them what, man? What? Visualizing the realism of life and actuality Fuck who's the baddest, but personal status depends on salary And my mentality is money orientated I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as poppers centers But something must've got in us cause all of us turned to sinners Now some rest some resting in peace

And some are sitting in San Quentin Others such as myself are trying to carry on tradition Keeping this reparassin' spigot o' essence and sliders Cause it provides with the proper insights that got us Even though we know somehow we all gotta go But as long as we leave in thieving We'll be leaving with some kind of dozo And to that day we expire and turn to vapors Me and my capers are be'll be somewhere stacking plenty papers, keeping it real back and still getting high, cause life's a bitch and then you die, life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get

high, cause you never know when you're gonna go, life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lie, cause you never know when you're gonna go, life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high, cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die That's why we get high Cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die That's why we puff lie I woke up early on my born day I'm 20 is a blessing The essence of adolescent Leaves my body now freshened My physical frame is celebrated Cause I made it One quarter through life Some garlic like thing created

Got rhymes 365 days annual, plus some, load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puss from my skull cause it's pain in my brain, vain money maintained, no go against the grain, simple and plain, when I was younger this I used to do my thing hard, robbing foreigners, take they wallets, they jewels and rip they green cards, dip to the projects, flash in my quick cash, and got my verse, piece of ass, smoking blunt sweat sweat hash now it's all about cash in the bundes niggas I used to run with this rich I doin' years in the hundreds I switched my motto

instead of sayin' fuck tomorrow that buck that bought a bottle coulda struck the lotto once I stood on the block, lose tracks, but do stacks I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back time is illmatic, keep static like wool fabric pack a 4matic to crack your whole cabbage Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high Cause you never know when you're gonna go

Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lie Cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high Cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lie Cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die That's how we pop fly Cause you never know when you're gonna go Life's a bitch and then you die Thanks for watching! Welcome back from Queensbridge everyone, hope you had a great time there. Okay, for the next song we're coming back much closer to the present day. In fact closer to the present day than I think we've ever been before on this podcast.

Up to 2017, so only seven years ago at the time of recording. The next song is track two from this artist album which is titled All American Badass. America being spelled with a triple K instead of a C there, just to let you know. America being spelled with a triple K instead of a C there just to let you know Now there's a lot of rap music from either side of the election of Donald Trump in 2016 that deals explicitly with the fear that his election brought up for black Americans and how the progress and hope that came through with the initial election of Barack Obama in 2008 which kind of withered across his presidency and was then fully extinguished by a reactionary turn to the old ways and it was a reminder that white America had just kind of been waiting rather than

changing during that time and I think this song is the closest we'll get this week to a song about survival rather than just being a snapshot of life for the artist in question. I think it's a song about dealing with your existence while being a political statement by default and how as a black man living in America you become a symbol of something to someone somewhere and it's about how you manage that responsibility while also just trying to live your own life. This is For My People by Joey Badass. Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a young black god living out his

dream. You know, yeah Always wanted to have superpowers, you know It's for my people Trying to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive, but we're so lethal Who would take a stand and be our hero Of my people, yeah It's for my people

Trying to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a war so lethal Who would take a stand in the I.E. role? Uh, now all heroes don't wear capes And all villains don't get away But all limits eventually fade I don't wanna be good, nigga, I'm tryna be great It's hard when your back's against the wall Then if you got an order, keep your feet up on the floor So I thank the Lord when I wake up in the morn

Cause to and from the water of every reason I was born You can see the power when the mic is in my palm When I storm across the room, hit the stage and perform When it's born, don't be alone Don't let me have to sign the horn and drop a bond Wanna get my mama crit, with a law Something that my future kids could run the bond So I always do my best to carry on

Life is like a game of chess, it'll be a pawn my nigga It's all my people, trying to stay alive and just stay peaceful So I just survive and we're so lethal Who would take a stand and be our hero So hard to survive, but we're so lethal Who would take a stand and be our hero? All my people, yeah It's for my people Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful

So hard to survive, it was so lethal Who would take a stand and be high, you? Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane Notice the young black girl livin' out of strings What you mean, I've been up on the ultralight beam They don't wanna see you fly, they just gonna shoot your wings Everything, it would've seemed Wishin' all these dirty cops would come clean Still swerving on the city blocks, for one thing

My man just cop a 30 shot, protect the team, know what I mean? Music is a form of expression, I'ma use mine just to teach you a lesson Rule one, this microphone's a weapon I'm shooting out the actions manifested in my passion Never rest and I'm surpassing the expectancy electing my direction Man, that section ain't depressing, It's hard to be progressing through recession And oppression, not to mention that the head is so blocked Never sissing at a lesson

It's for my people Trying to stay alive and just stay peaceful So antisocivist, we're so lethal Who would take a stand and be our hero? Of my people, yeah It's for my people Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive when we're so lethal

Who would take a stand in the I.O. Thank you to Joey for that one. It should also be mentioned that Joey is part of a rap collective called Pro Era, which was started by a guy named Capital Steez, a friend of Joey's and a great artist in his own right. Steez, whose real name was Courtney Duight Jr. took his own life on Christmas Eve in 2012 at the age of just 19. For anyone who is interested in reading about his life, just head to his Wikipedia page, dig in. It's a great place to start. Up next, we are going to stay in 2017, but we're going to go from Joey Badass's New York and across to Chicago, Illinois. That's another thing I really love about rap music, about how it really improves your geographical

knowledge of the United States and it gives you little windows into how different the culture is in various places, even though it's the same country. You know, I think once you're there, only when you're there can you really realize how far apart some of these cities are, especially if you're from the UK. And the stories these artists tell explain it far better than I ever could. So listen to this next one, which was track 11, which was the penultimate track on this artist's album, which was titled Brick Body Kids Still Daydream. This rapper is also a comedian and has previously worked on podcasts focusing on Cartoon Network

animated series Adventure Time and wrestling. There's a line in another one of his songs which is called TLDR which is the internet abbreviation for Too Long Didn't Read where he says, here's something you should know from the ground floor as far as rappers none of us are as cool as we sound and yeah i think if you've got podcasts about adventure time and wrestling you are a kindred spirit with someone like me who is thoroughly untrendy and i've always liked that about this guy's music um with this song it is just a sweet story really of kids trying to pass the day by experimenting with technology and trying to reach the outside world. This rapper lived with

his grandparents until he was 13 and as you can tell probably had to turn to himself for enjoyment and leisure as a kid. So here is 95 radios by Open Mic Eagle. Jigsaw blocks and hop the road home, steps on the Ave where I played and roamed. Okay it's quiet now And we drove all through the neighborhood Sitting in the car all day Trying to find a radio And we wrapped both hands in 10-4 Wanted at the window frame Trying to find a radio All up in my grandma's basement Sliding all the closet doors

Trying to find a radio And the homies say they heard a rap song Sounded like some folks they know But we couldn't find a radio Hard to express when the world is listeners Hard when you're sure that the world is not In between PM Dawn and Sun Ra Wearing a suit like my school mascot The Edison owl, not a head in the crowd Could match my technique and impeccable style

Says a young Hassan In the mirror while tips saying Rock rock on with my guy Stefan Who despite the speck saw himself Doing things he would live to regret Anyway, reciting off top The memory burnt a little J out My laugh was gimli Regarding the guns I could've shot

A more dug might blow up But won't pop, jigsaw blocks And hop the roll home Steps on the aft where I played coulda shot, a more doug might blow up but won't pop, jigsaw blocks and hopped the row home, steps on the aft where I played and roamed and we drove all through the neighborhood, sitting in the car all day, trying to find a radio And we wrapped both hands in tin foil Pointed at the window frame Trying to find a radio All up in my grandma's basement Sliding all the closet doors Trying to find a radio And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know But we couldn't find a radio The old me would drink a four tea and eat bologna Shinobi on NBA live, I played with Kobe The OGs, I miss my old hood Miss my homies, it's lonely The radio host, it's like they know me The ocean picked a seashell as I was floating

Was hoping to hear the airwaves, I think it's broken I can still play, could hip the tape, breathe surfaces Kept the airwaves, I think it's broken I can still play it if the tape resurfaces Kept the old boombox for just these purposes Heard the mix show had mine only recently People had a hard time finding the frequency These mean show feels personal Circled on all sides by used car commercials It's worth it though, whole block listening

Except the kids, stay so not interested Implement new Co and Gel Pros Hooks to fit loops, copyrighted by Velcro Whole sound chains, don't nobody wanna sell those Call the anacom, y'all this is my bell code And we drove all through the neighborhood Just sittin' in the car all day Tryin' to find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tin foil, pointed at the window frame Tryin' to find a radio, all up in my grandma's basement Slide in all the closet doors, tryin' to find a radio And the homies say they heard a rap song, sounded like some folks they know So beautiful. I cannot believe we are up to the last song of the episode already. Hopefully you guys have all enjoyed what you've heard this week. Whether you have or whether you haven't though, please feel free, hit me up at Hits21UK or Hits21Podcast at gmail.com. Just give me your thoughts. I'm always partial to a message as well, so if you want to DM on Twitter instead of going public with it

That's cool Last up as it was in the previous episode and as it will be for every episode hence the song that we're gonna come to Is the one that gives the episode its name. I'm here to stay It comes all the way from New Jersey in November 1993 And it's the 11th track on the third studio album released by this artist which was called Black Rain and that's Rain with R E I G N. It was actually released as a single on December 23rd in 1993 but despite that it just so perfectly captures what it is like on a

sweaty humid night in Newark, New Jersey, or even just New York City, just across the water. The sample in this of Herb Alpert's Making Love in the Rain is so distorted by bass and so foggy as a result that it sounds like a night in the city when your window is open because of the heat and a car with the windows rolled down rolls past blasting this out of the souped up sound system. This sounds like a city at night with the artist thinking about the day that they've just experienced, all the good and all the bad, and how much shame and pride they feel for the place that they live.

And do you remember what I said at the top of the episode about kingdoms and how streets become borders of their own in a way when you're a kid? Well the addresses that are name dropped in the intro to this song. If you put them in on Google Maps in the order that they're said they form a perfect rectangle and it stretches from the East Orange region of Newark past Newark airport all the way to the Hudson River touching New York City and then back to the beginning. It is a really arresting image when you put it in on a street view and want to have a look around. This is Just Another Day by Queen Latifah. It's home so I flex, get pressure off my chest, slip in

a tape, now which hood should I hit next? 384, Stuyvesant. He gon' take it over to 155, Morgan.

In episode 3 we'll be continuing to look at life But not so much a snapshot anymore. The next episode will be looking at carrying on against the odds and artists fighting for their place in the world Under different circumstances, and I hope to see you for it. Thank you very much for listening this week, goodbye.
