Recommend a radio show

[MediumL]

I know the radio gets a lot of hate from hip hop heads, and many point to it as what hip hop should not sound like. Its not just in hip hop though, many other genres like RnB and rock feel the 'real' music doesn't get enough exposure.

However Sunday midday keeps my faith in the radio. 1Xtra a UK black music station has this show called the Basement in which legends (such as Goldie or Grandmaster Flash) or hot acts out at the moment (Estelle, Mavado, Lloyd etc) go through tracks that have inspired their music.

Its a brilliant show because you get a real diversity in music and its interesting, especially if you listen to the artist, to work out how a song has influenced the music you hear.

Anyway here's a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008fdc1
