See I am one, my god, I love to say hello.

11
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:40.880
Today is National hip Hop Day.

12
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:42.759
Now.

13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.640
Like every type of music, hip hop evolved from other

14
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.320
music styles. Nineteen seventy three, in the wreck room of

15
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.840
an apartment building in the Bronx, New York. It was

16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.200
at his sister's birthday. Hip Hop was born a Jamaican DJ, Coolhirk.

17
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:58.679
He had borrowed from back in Jamaica and mixed it

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.560
well from New York Street and practice for over a year.

19
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:03.679
Yep is waiting for a party big enough to bust

20
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.439
it out, so he busted it out today. Now he

21
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.400
would talk over the songs as he played him and

22
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:11.560
he had two turntables, and he put the same mount

23
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.439
song on and then switched back and forth. And then

24
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.920
he would stretch out the percussion section of a song.

25
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.760
It's known as the break. Now he stretched out really long,

26
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:21.920
and they noticed that that's when the people would really dance.

27
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.280
So he called him as bee boys and bee girls

28
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:28.120
for break boys and break girls. Yeah, break dancing. Well,

29
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.680
it exploded all over New York City. Wasn't called hip

30
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.239
hop until nineteen seventy nine. So break out your sweatsuits,

31
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.840

00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:27.680

45
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.840
Guess a way.

46
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:36.400
You asked me a mile get along, I guess I

47
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.840

48
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.800
It, but I guess way.

49
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.039
The number one book was Anatomy a Murder by Robert Traver.

50
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.680
Top movie was The Vikings, A Slave and a Viking

51
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.080
Prince Fight for the Love of a Princess stars Kirk Douglas,

52
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.879
Tony Curtis, Ernest Borg nine, Janet Lee. Who do you

53
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:58.680
think the princess was? All?

54
00:02:58.800 --> 00:02:58.919
Right?

55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.719
What happened? On August eleventh, eighteen sixty six the world's

56
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.439
first roller skating rink opened up? And he guesses where

57
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.840
in the world? That was Newport, Rhode Island. Now a

58
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.680
lot of people they give Thomas Edison credit for inventing

59
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.800
the light bulb. Yeah, that's good and all, but what

60
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.560
good is the light bulb really? Now? Henry Obell he

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.879
was the man in eighteen ninety six he invented the

62
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.800
light bulb socket and that little pul chain to turn

63
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.919
it on and off. Starting background eighteen sixty eight, around

64
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.319
there off of San Francisco, Alcatraz Island, it was used

65
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.039
as a military prison. Then over the years they made

66
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.800
improvements to it, so by today, in nineteen thirty four,

67
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.960
it was supposed to be the most secure prison in

68
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.400
the country. So they switched it over from military prison

69
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:41.599
to federal prison. It's where they were going to house

70
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.560
the worst of the worst criminals in the country. The

71
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.879
Watts Riots broke out today. In nineteen sixty five, twenty

72
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.000
one year old motorist Marquette Fry, he was pulled over

73
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:55.360
in Watts, California. It's a neighborhood in southern LA. Yeah,

74
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.479
they got it for reckless driving. Then he failed the

75
00:03:57.479 --> 00:03:59.960
field sobriety test. His brother was riding in the car

76
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.479
with them, and they said, oh, you can just go

77
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.800
home and no big deal. So we walked back to

78
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.039
the house and told their mom what was going on. Well,

79
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.439
she went to see what was happening, and Marquette he

80
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:10.280
was still there. He was just waiting to be transported

81
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.039
to jail. Well, words were exchanged and she attacked a

82
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.439
police officer. So now Marquette, his mom, and brother were

83
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.759
all sitting on the curb in handcuffs, waiting to go

84
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.759
to jail. Of course, a crowd formed, and then the

85
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.519
rumors started to fly. Then the crowd formed and the

86
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.360
rumor rumors started to fly. One big rumor was that

87
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:29.199
his mom had been attacked and beaten up by the

88
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.240
police officers and the sun, so they were trying to

89
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.240
protect her. Another that a pregnant girl had gotten kicked

90
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.759
in the stomach. The crowd began to grow, the rumors

91
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.079
began to grow. Finally, the rioty releupted. YEP lasted six

92
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.759
days and they had bringing another two thousand National guardsmen

93
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.079
that stop it, along with the sixteen thousand police they

94
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.160
already had. Thirty four people were killed, one thousand and

95
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.439
thirty two people were injured in three thousand and four,

96
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.839
and thirty eight people were arrested. Nineteen eighty four, President

97
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.279
Ronald Reagan now he was getting ready to do his

98
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.959
weekly radio broadcast to the country that he did every

99
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.519
Saturday morning. Now he thought he was still off the air.

100
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.680
He didn't know they'd been hitting any buttons yet, so

101
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.279
he jokingly said, I just signed a bill out law

102
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.040
in Russia forever. We're gonna begin bombing. In five minutes.

103
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.680
Somebody in the booth realized he was live, so they

104
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.199
killed it. So that's all anybody heard, including the Russians.

105
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:20.399
Let the Soviet military went into full alert. Took him

106
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.160
a half hour before they found out the whole thing

107
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.720
was a joke.

made it with flavored pat or powdered soda, MiGs and

117
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:56.199
in water. Then he stirred it with a wooden stick.

118
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:57.920
He left the stick in the glass, and he put

119
00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.639
the glass in his window sill and went to sleep.

167
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:45.639
his fourth wife in two thousand and eight. Now, obviously

168
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.879
that was the Wrestling boot Band. Their lead singer was

169
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.679
Terry Bala. Terry, of course, he's best known as hul Cogan, Yeah,

170
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.840
the Hoke. He's seventy one today. Born in Augusta, Georgia

171
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.679
in nineteen fifty three. Now, he was definitely the most

172
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.399
popular professional wrestlers in the nineteen eighties and nineties. Might

173
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.960
be all time, but The Rock's probably up there with him.

174
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.399
In his prime, The Hook was six seven and weigh

175
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.279
three hundred and two pounds. He began wrestling professionally in

176
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.360
nineteen seventy seven. I think he did his last matcher

177
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.320
on twenty ten. He only released that one album, thankfully.

178
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:18.480
He says he's still an actor, though biggest movie was

179
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:21.480

180
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:24.200

181
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.240
and they had a daughter and a son. Married his

182
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.320
second wife for eleven years and the Hook. He just

183
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.159
married his third wife last year. He's still a honeymoon.

184
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:46.200
Going a going Don't I known the seemen of this?

185
00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.080

188
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.279
one albums. Some of his songs are stepping out, you

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.720
can't get what you want right and wrong? Is she

190
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.080
really going out with him? Now, Joe was married to

191
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.840
his wife Ruth for two years he got done. He

192
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.279
said it was just a total disaster. Now, he would

193
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.879
never explain why his marriage to his wife Ruth was

194
00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:15.360
a disaster, but anyway, after they got divorced, he was

195
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:17.879
able to be with his boyfriend Joe. He did live
