00:03

Do you remember where you were when you first heard The Sugarhill Gang?

00:08

“Now what you hear is not a test

00:10

I'm rapping to the beat

00:12

And me, the groove and my friends

00:15

We’re going to try to move your feet.”

00:18

OK, you kind of remember it?

00:19

(Laughter)

00:20

OK, I'm a professor, so here's your quiz.

00:23

Everybody say “Hotel, motel” --

00:26

Audience: "... Holiday Inn."

00:27

RF: OK, stop that.

00:29

(Laughter)

00:31

We can't have that kind of fun, I work at Harvard.

00:34

(Laughter)

00:37

I first heard that song --

00:39

It's, like, 1985.

00:41

It was a block party in Daytona Beach, Florida,

00:44

and people were moving in ways I'd never seen before.

00:49

Now, I'm not talking about my friend Manman.

00:51

I'm talking about my grandmother.

00:53

She was doing stuff I can't unsee.

00:55

(Laughter)

00:57

She was like, down in here,

00:58

and I was like, “Whoa, grandma!”

01:00

(Laughter)

01:02

That was 40 years ago.

01:04

And hip-hop has taken over.

01:09

It is the most popular music genre in the world,

01:12

particularly among young people.

01:14

It has. its effect on music, on language,

01:19

on clothing, on social media,

01:24

even to a data nerd like me, is immeasurable.

01:28

But somehow, that's all obvious, right?

01:32

It didn't really dawn on me until a few months ago.

01:36

I'm a Peloton addict.

01:39

And I went to New York for the live ride.

01:43

And I'm in the studio ...

01:45

we’re 35 minutes in -- I was thinking, “How do you simulate the bicycle?”

01:49

Here we go.

01:50

I was 35 minutes in,

01:52

I peeped the person next to me,

01:54

and her handle was RideorDie2000.

01:59

And they get us up out of our saddles, 35 minutes in ...

02:03

and, on beat,

02:04

she gets up out of the saddle,

02:06

she starts screaming, and pounding the handlebars,

02:08

"Kill, kill, kill, Murder, murder, murder"

02:14

(Laughter)

02:17

Scared the crap out of me.
