Speak about destruction / This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing / The human race is becoming a disgrace / Countries are fighting with chemical warfare / Not giving a damn about the people who live / Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist / Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise / The Democratic-Communist Relationship / Won't stand in the way of the Islamic force / The CIA is looking forother tactics / The KGB is smarter than you think / Brainwash mentalities to control the system / Using TV and movies - religions of course / Yes, the world is headed for destruction / Is it a nuclear war? / What are you asking for? Electro-HipHop, yeah. Time Zone ist eins von vielen musikalischen Projekten von Afrika Bambaataa alias Lance Taylor, die Mitwirkenden wechseln häufig, bei "World Destruction" waren es Afrika Bambaataa (Vocals), John Lydon (Vocals), Bernie Worrell (Synthesizer), Nicky Skopelitis (Guitar), Bill Laswell (Bass, Synthesizer) und Aiyb Dieng (Percussion). Die ersten Singles "The Wildstyle" 1983 und "World Destruction" 1984 von Time Zone erschienen bei Celluloid Records. Im Jahr 1987 gabs dann bei Ariola Records die Single "Shake Frappé". Auf den B-Sides befinden sich die gleichen Songs als Instrumental Versionen. Bei allen genannten Singles stand nur der Bandname Time Zone am Cover, die anfangs aus Afrika Bambaataa, Amad Henderson, B-Side alias Ann Boyle und Rusty Wunderverke alias Rusty Egan bestand. Ja, die 1984 bei Celluloid Records erschienene Single "World Destruction" lief anfangs nur unter Time Zone, der Zusatz feat. John Lydon & Afrika Bambaataa tauchte erstmals auf einer Wiederveröffentlichung 1985 auf. Egal. Afrika Bambaataa: I was talking to Bill Laswell saying I need somebody who's really crazy, man, and he thought of John Lydon. I knew he was perfect because I'd seen this movie that he'd made, I knew about all the Sex Pistols and Public Image stuff, so we got together and we did a smashing crazy version, and a version where he cussed the Queen something terrible, which was never released. John Lydon: We went in, put a drum beat down on the machine and did the whole thing in about four-and-a-half hours. It was very, very quick. Das Debütalbum von Time Zone, "Thy Will 'B' Funk", erschien 1992 beim Label Planet Rock Music unter dem Namen Afrika Bambaataa presents Time Zone. Naja, Afrika Bambaataa war inzwischen ein Star, zumindest in gewissen Popkreisen. Nächste Station von Time Zone war Profile Records, wo die Singles "What’s The Name Of This Nation? Zulu!" 1993, "Zulu War Chant" 1993, "Throw Ya Funky Hands Up" 1995 und das Album "Warlocks And Witches, Computer Chips, Mikrochips And You" 1996 erschienen. Ebenfalls 1996 erschien beim Label Sm:)e Communications die Single "Afrika Bambaataa presents Time Zone vs DJ Dara" mit den 4 Songs "Funky Beeper (Locked In The Cupboard Mix)", "Throw Ya F***in Hands Up (Jungle Nation Mix)", "Funky Beeper (Original Version)" und "Godfather (Take You Higher)". Alle Singles sind natürlich 12 Inches, yeah. DJ Dara ist Darragh Guilfoyle, der auch unter dem Pseudonym The Growler in der Popwelt unterwegs ist. Zuletzt erschien von Time Zone 2004 bei Planet Rock Music das Album "Everyday People - The Breakbeat Party Album", diesmal unter dem Namen Afrika Bambaataa & Time Zone. Andere Projekte oder Bands von Afrika Bambaataa sind Afrika Bambaataa & Family, Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force, Afrika Bambaataa & The Jazzy 5, Afrika Bambaataa & The Millennium Of The Gods, yeah, und viele viele mehr. Afrika Bambaataa wurde 1957 in der Bronx in New York geboren und 1982 mit dem Song "Planet Rock", der Samples der Band Kraftwerk verwendet, international bekannt. Afrika Bambaataa: You want to buy cars and houses and castles, all of that's on you and how America has systematized your mind to be into materialism. Hip-hop ain't got nothing to do with that. Afrika Bambaataa gründete in den 70er Jahren die Universal Zulu Nation. The Universal Zulu Nation promotes the idea that hip-hop was created to sustain the ideals of 'peace, love, unity and having fun' - first for Black and Latiné people in the ghetto in the USA, and eventually for all those supportive of hip-hop culture, including people of all pigment colours, races, religions, nations and civilizations. Auch der Wiener DJ DSL alias Stefan Biedermann ist Mitglied der Universal Zulu Nation. Yeah! Habe mir gerade die 4-CD-Box "Rhythm ‘n’ Blues Nasty" gekauft. No-one knew how to party more than the post-World War II nasty R'n'B crowd. And no-one knew better than those R'n'B singers just how to use a risqué lyric and a double entendre in the cause of a real good time. Jim Wynn buttered his roll, Jimmy Wilson squeezed his lemon, The Doc's sausage rocked and there was simply no stopping Wynonie Harris and his lovin' machine. Those were raunchy, steamy, heady days. Auf den 4 CDs befinden sich 100 R'n'B-Songs aus den Jahren 1945 bis 1954, die zwar in der Mehrzahl von Sängern dargeboten werden, aber mit Annisteen Allen, Big Maybelle, Dinah Washington, Mabel Scott, Varetta Dillard, Ruth Brown, Little Esther, Sarah Dean, Candy Rivers, Laurie Tate, Paula Watson, Beverly Wright, Nellie Lutcher, Claudia Griffin und Burnetta Evans kann man sich auch an nasty Sängerinnen erfreuen. Ja, HipHop und Rhythm’n’Blues sind nahe Verwandte. Afrika Bambaataa: A lot of times, when people say hip-hop, they don't know what they're talking about. They just think of the rappers. When you talk about hip-hop, you're talking about the whole culture and movement. You have to take the whole culture for what it is. Hugh.
