"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. Coming in December, "Sex
