Glaw, what you do to secure the record so when you scratching the record won't get harmed at all?

[00:00:07]
{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
And Kev, whadda ya have under there?

[00:00:09]
{SPEAKER name="Kev"}
Okay what I have under here is, y'know, plastic and paper. Which really shouldn't be used cause it'll draw a film on your records, but I mean the best thing I suggest to use is use a mat like him, it's called a felt you can buy it any record store because it doesn't cause a film under your records. The reason why it's paper 'cause if I'm speed mixin' I need y'know to put the slide so it will slide back and catch on. If I use mat, y'know felt, it won't y'know catch like that so the best thing to use like he said, is felt. That's one thing I can really suggest to you.

{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
Are there other questions before we talk with the rappers? Folks wanna hear the rappers, I hear it. Okay, with us today, sitting to my left, two rappers with the Grand Masters of Funk, one of Philadelphia's finest rap groups from Mount Airy. They work with Cosmic Kev here. You got next to me Perry P, next to him Money Man. Maybe we should start by- Perry, why don't you explain, why don't you give us a little example to the folks of what a rap is for those who don't know what we're talking about? And then, what we'll do is we'll break down, just like we did with the DJ, into different types of rap.

[[rapping]] All day! Funk on the beat when I'm in the place. You gotta get up and feel the bass. And when I'm on the mic I might give it a taste because you know my vibes will shock your rage has got to be quick and when I'm on the mic I'll put you in a fit. You know the beat, it just don't quit, And when I get on the rhythm, said it go like this. Say rhyme so fast, rhymes not slow, rhymes on the beat won't let it go. When you hear the rhyme well you'll be amazed because you know my rhymin' action put you all in a daze.
