December 14th, 2008: Bill Adler and his favorite Christmas tunes

David Fazekas — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 19:26:36 -0500

This week’s edition of “On the Real” is hosted by yours truly, Bill Adler. Chuck and I met over twenty years ago, when I was director of publicity at Def Jam and he and Public Enemy were cutting their first albums. I left Def Jam in 1990, but I’ve never left hiphop.In recent years I ran the hiphop-oriented Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery, wrote and directed the VH1 documentary series “And You Don’t Stop: 20 Years of HipHop,” and advised the Smithsonian Institution on the establishment of its hiphop collection. I am also the co-author with Cey Adams of “DEFinition: the Art and Design of HipHop,” which was published this past October by Collins Design. >

The idea is create a personal soundtrack to fight off the Christmas blues and get me and my friends and family through the season with our sanity intact. Despite my seeming grinchiness, there’s a ton of Christmas music that I love. A lot of it is on this show. My personal favorite is probably Irma Thomas’s “O Holy Night.” It’s damn near enough to make a believer out of me. Hope you enjoy it.

But please weigh in yourself. What are your favorites Christmas recordings?

Kurtis Blow, “Christmas Rappin’,” 1979

Season’s Greetings from DJ AJ, 2000
