{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
I'll tell you what, since we're running out of time, maybe I could ask you, Spoons, later today when you're on the main stage to use that--use that as a song.
[00:26:57]
{SPEAKER name="Horace "Spoons" Williams"}
All right. Right over here, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:27:00]
[[OVERLAPPING]]
{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
Yeah, we--so--
{SPEAKER name="Horace "Spoons" Williams"}
And I promise you, not only that song, another song. I'll be looking forward to all of you over there. Okay?
[00:27:09]
{SPEAKER name="Interviewer"}
Let's have a big hand please for Horace "Spoons" Williams from Philadelphia.
[00:27:13]
{SPEAKER name="Horace "Spoons" Williams"}
Thank you. Thank you and an honor.
[00:27:15]
You're a beautiful audience. Thank you.
[00:27:20]
{SPEAKER name="Speaker 1"}
Now, we're going to take a little break here as we set some equipment up.
[00:27:24]
Those--a lot of you might want to stay around, we're going to be doing a workshop with the DJs and the rappers of The Grandmasters of Funk, from Mount Airy, Philadelphia,
[00:27:35]
and with the DJ for the breakdancing group The Scanner Boys, Grandwizard Sly.
[00:27:40]
As soon as we get the tables, we're gonna move them up onto the stage here, then we're going to demonstrate: what exactly goes into mixing?
[00:27:48]
How do you use those two turntables to create the sounds?
[00:27:52]
And what exactly is the artistry that goes into mixing the DJ work and blending?
[00:27:58]
We're also going to be speaking with two rappers from The Grandmasters of Funk, Perry P and Money Man.
[00:28:03]
Giving examples of the different styles of rap, and having them talk about rapping as an artform.
[00:28:10]
So if you could just bare with us, it'll take us four, five minutes, and we'll be ready to go.
[00:28:14]
"Mixology", some would call it, and rapping--the art of "rapology", both terms from the community.
[00:28:27]
We're going to be talking today with members of the DJ and rap team The Grandmasters of Funk, first,
[00:28:34]
from Mount Airy, North Carolina--oh Mount--what--Mount Airy North Carolina? Mount Airy, Philadelphia! [[laughs]]
[00:28:41]
Mount Airy, North Carolina is over there on the grand generations stage.
[00:28:46]
I'll introduce the three members to you first: over at the tables, the grandmaster here, working the wheels of steel is Cosmic Kev.
