This mix will never get old. Now, I wasn't living in NY during the time, but I think the gist of the story goes something like this. ..
Marley Marl started out as the on-air DJ for Mr. Magic's Rap Attack in the mid-80's on 107.5 WBLS, every Friday and Saturday from 9pm-midnight. This show rivaled Red Alert's KISS fm show which help fuel the classic Juice Crew vs. BDP beef.
Soon after (1987), Marley Marl took over hosting duties, changed the name to In Control With Marley Marl, and hired a 17 year old Pete Rock to resume dj duties.
I have dozens of WBLS and KISS recordings from the 80's and early 90's and will post soon.
You have to love the 2+ minute intro followed by the Chubb Rock cassette/poster give away.
