"Night Train"

MAKEBATHEARTIST

I go by the alias… or nom de plume (I like the way that sounds… and looks)“M.BODDi,” and I have a confession to make: I used to listen to Z100. WHAT??!!!!! I know, riiiiight… I’m ashamed to admit because I LOVE hip hop and I HATE [most] pop music. And get this, before Z100 all I listened to was Doo Wop because that’s what my grandmother listened to.

I wince when my little brother reminds me of my embarrassing past. He’ll be like, “you remember when you used to jump on the bed singing that song, ‘I’m Blue (da ba dee)’ or ‘Boom boom boom boom… I want you in my room?’” And I’d reply, “You did it too.” But apparently he’s excused because he was like 3 years old at the time or something… whatever.

So, yes, I grew up in the boy-band/girl-group era… Nsync, The Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, the Spice Girls, etc. My taste in music hadn’t matured yet, just like me, it hadn’t even hit puberty.

I also grew up in the notorious “golden era” of Hip Hop. Aside from the Hip Hop sing-a-longs to “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash while walking home with my mother and oldest brother, my earliest and fondest memory of Golden Era Hip Hop was constantly hearing Jay-Z’s “Ain’t No Nigga” blasting from car stereos in the summer time. That coincides exactly with the memory of my mother giving birth to my youngest brother, even though he was born three years earlier. Don’t think too hard about that, I have a pretty shoddy memory and things don’t always align when I think back.

Anyway, my next Golden Era Hip Hop memory doesn’t happen again for another 4 years… after the Doo Wop and immediately after Z100. I think, after hearing this one classic song, I made the switch to Hot 97… “all day that’s my word!” (At least, that’s how I like to picture it.)
