“The movie was based on the Turnout Brothers going around in East Elmhurst and doing parties and getting on in people’s living rooms, performing at these house parties,” she said.As for Miss Jones’ broadcasting career, she said it happened more by necessity. She noted that rap was originally organic and about struggles, not about throwing money and Champagne around a club.“[Rap was] New York seen through the eyes of young black teenagers that never imagined having a platform. That’s all they had to talk about,” she said.“They were talking about their reality, not somebody else’s reality.“There was no ‘wear these Adidas and we’re going to give you $1 million.’ They were wearing it because it was really part of the wardrobe.
As for how the internet, streaming and podcasting has changed the game, she calls it a “gift and a curse.”
