Publisher's Synopsis
"Sex Time And Radio" is a 5 volume, 4 book series that serves as an All Access VIP Pass through the urban radio world of the '90s & 2000s. The author of the series is MARCUS CHAPMAN; a music historian and on-air personality heard in Chicago, Dallas, Indianapolis and Atlanta; plus near stops in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and North Carolina. But this historical book series makes the reader the on-air personality. It contains encounters with celebrities like Beyonce, Dr. Dre, Aaliyah, Michael Jordan, James Brown, Chris Brown, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross, Vivica A. Fox, LL Cool J, Erykah Badu, George Clinton, and many more. It takes you from being on stage at the clubs to being backstage at the concerts. It includes backstabbing coworkers, closed door meetings, battles with station management, battles with personal demons, and sexual escapades with some of the hottest women in America. Yet the author goes beyond simply telling sex and radio stories for mindless entertainment. Chapman makes this book series a Must Read by delving into the deeper psychological reasons and life experiences that affect the male sex drive, particularly for males in the spotlight, and by tackling unspoken reasons for the continuous rise of HIV and AIDS cases. This series is also a Must Read for music lovers, as it contains valuable insight and info on the past 40 years of R&B, funk, rock, jazz, disco, house, and hip-hop. This first book in the series, "Sex Time And Radio Vol. 1 & 2: Blueprint of a Radio Star", deals with the path that would lead a person into becoming a professional on-air personality. It contains a vast amount of music knowledge, including excellent chapters about the growth of hip-hop from it's first days on record in 1979 to the peak of its golden era in 1988 ("The Cool Scholar of New York"); the Afrocentric/conscious rap movement and New Jack Swing of the late '80s & early '90s ("Rebirth and Death"); the Chicago House music scene of the mid-'80s ("House Party"), '70s jazz ("OutKast"), James Brown ("Sacrifice of a Sex Machine"), Parliament-Funkadelic ("The Outer Space-Underwater Radio Band"), and the dominance of West Coast rap in the mid-'90s ("The New P-Funk"). Starting out in college radio ("Must Be the Music"), interning at #1 professional radio stations ("Sleeping With the Enemy"), early influences on the male sex drive ("Touch Me, Tease Me"; "Records, Cards, Books & Panties"), and the impact of sports teams like the 1985 Chicago Bears ("We Are the Champions") and the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s ("Three Points and Threepeats") are also covered in this first book. "Sex Time And Radio Vol. 1 & 2: Blueprint of a Radio Star (Rebel Music of a Sex Machine)" is just the opening shot in this definitive book series about the radio lifestyle in the hip-hop and R&B world of the 1990s & 2000s.
