TIM WESTWOOD & MARLEY MARL IN CONTROL AUG 1989

WHEN WAS ABOUT 9, I FIRST HEARD ABOUT WESTWOOD. AT THE TIME HE WAS DJING ON A PIRATE STATION CALLED LWR, AND WAS PLAYING SOME DOPE JOINTS. TIM THEN BOUNCED TO KISS (WHEN IT WAS STILL A PIRATE) FOR A MINUTE, THEN WENT TO CAPITAL RADIO IN 87. AT THE TIME, THE OTHER HIP HOP DJ'S WERE, MAX AND DAVE (KISSFM), DAVE PIERCE (RADIO LONDON FRSH START TO THE WEEK) AND CHRIS NATT (THE BADBWOY TIME FM).

THEY WERE ALL DOPE AND DID THERE THING BUT WESTWOOD WAS THE ONE WHO HAD THE DOPEST SHOW.
AT THE TIME OF THE LATE 80'S IN LONDON,
WE WERE GETTING ALL THE RADIO SHOWS FROM THE STATES FROM DJ'S LIKE MARLEY MARL, RED ALERT, CHUCK CHILLOUT, P-FINE, SO WE WERE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT DJ'S WERE PLAYING OVER THERE..........STILL WESTWOOD HAD THE DOPEST SHOW. I'D SAY BETWEEN 88-93 HE HAD THE BEST HIP HOP SHOW IN THE WORLD HANDS DOWN. IN 1989 MY HOMEBOY MARLEY MARL OVER AT WBLS WAS KILLIN IT OVER THERE. AT THE SAME TIME WESTWOOD AND HIM STARTED THE RAP EXCHANGE WHERE BIG TIM WOULD GO OUT TO NYC AND RECORD A SHOW WITH MARLEY AND THEN BROADCAST IT OVER IN LONDON ON HIS SHOW ON CAPITAL FM.

THIS WAS HIP HOP AT ITS BEST. MARLEY MARL WAS "THE " BIGGEST PRODUCER IN HIP HOP AND HE HAD ALL THE EXCLUSIVES, AS DID TIM. HERES A TAPE FROM THERE 1ST EVER RAP EXCHANGE HOOK UP IN AUG 26TH 1989. MY HOMEBOYS OVER AT FATLACE ACTUALLY PUT UP SIDE A OF THIS TAPE. THEY GOT THERE 1ST SO IM PUTTING UP SIDE B WHICH FEATURES A YOUNG INTELLIGENT HOODLUM AKA TRAGEDY. MARLEY GETS BUSY ON THE ONES AND TWOS, TIM AND MARLEY ARGUE OVER ROXANNE SHANTE..."YOUR WELCOME TO HER STARR"..........CLICK HERE FOR THE JUMP JUMP....SHOUT ME....
