  • Gary Byrd was a DJ on radio station WWRL starting around 1967 or so. He had the all night show and called it the "GBE" Gary Byrd Experience. He would talk over the music (which later became known as "Rapping"). He really started rappin on the radio on his show...really ahead or his time.  I grew up listening to him in Hollis, Jamaica, Queens.

  • The spoken word movement of today sounds more like this which is also similar to the likes of the Last Poets especially "LIGHTENING ROD." all new jacks should dig the crates and learn to RESPECT THE FORERUNNERS and PIONEERS.

  • Hotep. GB still sounds like this almost 40 yrs. later. True to the game!!!

  • White is more beautiful. Black chicks got way too much attitude / look like their brothers.

  • To amd1588

    You mean they sound like him

  • I remember when GB was on WWRL 1600 in New York with Frankie Crocker and Hank Spann and Jerry Bledsoe and he would start his show with some smack about the GBE Experience, lemmie tell ya he was rappin way before they had a name for it, 5 stars for this post. Some of us actually still rate LMFAO,

  • i totally hear you on that, black started to rise to prominance but where has it gone today??!! no one is allowed to be truly black anymore, especially the women. no women allowed on tv (even 'black' music videos) unless she has straightened her hair... think about that one.

    its pure love and education this way baby ;)xxx

  • Brother Gary Byrd is the man.

  • "number two/black pride ain't a racist bag/it's just realizing what we HAVE". "THe world is a groovy place today/even though it hasn't always been/at one time/even blacks use to think it was a sin." Blacks have NEVER in America had the power to make Whites feel asahmed of their physical appearance, but whties have done this to blacks, my mom was born in 1943, dad born in 1931, and it was a major thing to see James Brown cut his process. Mom's mother HATED her Afro.

  • When Europeans uses their so-called White Power is because they want so-called dominance.

    While African people we use Black Power is to not be ashamed of what we are.
