Manage episode 481205026 series 2974490
This week, we’re joined by podcast legend Alex Goldman—of Reply All and HyperFixed fame—to dive into the high-speed legacy of J.J. Fad’s 1988 hit “Supersonic.” Whether you remember it from the radio or recognize it as the backbone of Fergie’s “Fergalicious,” this track’s influence is undeniable. We explore the group’s origins, their ties to N.W.A., and how “Supersonic” broke barriers for female rappers at a time when the genre was dominated by men. Along the way, we discuss regional hip hop influences, rap rivalries, and why J.J. Fad’s impact goes far beyond a one-hit wonder.
