thanx for the piece on the these cats. I was a huge fan back in the day, still am atulalcy. “It Gets No Deeper” and “I Got A Good Thing” were big inspirations for me as an MC. They had so much style. “girls come one at a time, because when it comes to crowds…I kick rhymes”

I totally went nuts when i found this site……i was the biggest WPRB head i knew. I turned every one of my friends on to it and it became church to us week in and week out. My question is how do i get A hold of the maker of this site because i have about 30 weeks worth of recordings that I’m in the process of converting and id love to contribute to the site so the masses can see/hear what they missed during the best time by far for hip hop. things have changed so much for the worse these days and its scary to realize that it will never be the same. Don’t get me wrong there is plenty of talent out there but what happened to the love for just the pure Hip Hop lifestyle. There is o more crews like DITC, The Flava Unit, to just name a couple…..i could go on for ever. But this stuff needs to be heard, all the OG hip hop heads should make it there job to make the young bucks out there listen to some of this raw uncut hip hop so they can have a appreciation for where it all came from. There was o better time for hip hop than from 1990 to about 1997 and WPRB was the epitome of Real Hip Hop

The homemade antenna?…bonkers. I love that you could use the tapes for basement parties as that was the WHOLE idea. We formatted the show to be a dope tape and I’m glad it worked for somebody. I’ll hit you on the side with regard to getting those mp3 posted. It continues to fascinate me as people stumble on this site. It’s a fam thing. If you weren’t there, either as a listener or at the station, you won’t understand. More things to come…

Wassup V&V fam! Man, this show brings back memories. I’m actually in the process of converting about 3 Timberland boot shoeboxes full of Maxell XL IIS 100 minute tapes of Vibes and Vapors shows, to MP3 format while typing this. The show with Punk Barbarians in the studio is playing now: we got the industry on lockdown, #1 top hits!! Renegade, 12-guage… I decided to Google “WPRB Vibes & Vapors” and came across this site. I listened to the show during my high school years and then some; 92-97. I was definitely tuned into the show Wednesdays and Thursdays. I think I recorded nearly every show. You guys had the best hiphop show in the area, during this era. I used to listen to Drexel University’s hiphop show which came on Sunday afternoons (i think). One of the Dj’s name was AJ Shine. V&V was better though. Tuning in from Philly, I got a fairly good signal depending on the weather…

Reminiscing on the times I spent in my parents’ basement, tuned in listening to the show, boosting blank tapes from k-mart, sears, where ever… haha! I was wylin’ out.. It got to the point where I made a make-shift antenna and stuck it out the window to get a better signal. too bad I jacked up my pop’s radio for doing that ish! but it was worth it to hear the latest, dopest hiphop songs that haven’t gone mainstream yet. I was the kid in school listening to recorded shows, with the latest songs from artists my classmates never heard of.. sh*t, i even played the tapes at basement parties!
Yo, big up to D-Groovy, Sefu, guest artists that appeared on the show, and whoever else put it on at WPRB for the Vibes & Vapors Show.

Let me know what I need to do to get these MP3 filez to y’all!

-Peace
