Book Description
In Breaks in the Air John Klaess tells the story of rap’s emergence on New York City’s airwaves by examining how artists and broadcasters adapted hip hop’s performance culture to radio. Initially, artists and DJs brought their live practice to radio by buying time on low-bandwidth community stations and building new communities around their shows. Later, stations owned by New York’s African American elite, such as WBLS, reluctantly began airing rap even as they pursued a sound rooted in respectability, urban sophistication, and polish. At the same time, large commercial stations like WRKS programmed rap once it became clear that the music attracted a demographic that was valuable to advertisers. Moving between intimate portraits of single radio shows and broader examinations of the legal, financial, cultural, and political forces that indelibly shaped the sound of rap radio, Klaess shows how early rap radio provides a lens through which to better understand the development of rap music as well as the intertwined histories of sounds, institutions, communities, and legal formations that converged in the post-Civil Rights era.

"This is a world formed by Qi, but the universe is all-encompassing. Strange and wonderful things happen in this world, and in this world, there are many rare treasures, the materials of heaven and earth." Under the nurturing from "Qi", other than the precious mortal rank, there were also the Heaven and Earth Spirit Beast.Luo Qi had used his legendary life in the Qi Training. In this aspect, he was a genius, and he had given up many things in order to cultivate.But when his Qi Training had reached its peak, he was instead at a loss!Especially when Qing Er died, everything that he had been chasing after, suddenly became unimportant, but was already dead, unable to revive.Although this article has not cultivated immortal language, the main point is that the human world itself seeks not the continuation of longevity, but the meaning of life. Roche feels that everything has meaning only when you are with someone you love. "
