  • Whodini war eine Hip-Hop-eFunk-Band aus New York City, USA. Die 1981 gegründete Gruppe bestand aus den drei Mitgliedern Jalil Hutchins, John Fletcher († 2020) und Drew Carter. Whodini war eine der ersten Rap-Gruppen, die R&B und E-Gitarren-Sound (Fugitive aus Back in Black, 1986) in ihre Lieder mit einbrachten. Erfolgreich waren sie in den frühen und mittleren 1980er Jahren. Seit 1982 waren sie auf dem damals noch Indielabel Jive Records unter Vertrag. In dieser Zeit hatten sie Erfolg mit Liedern wie Magic's Wand, The Haunted House of Rock oder Friends. Insgesamt veröffentlichten sie sechs Alben. Am 23. Dezember 2020 verstarb John 'Ecstasy' Fletcher im Alter von 56 Jahren. (de)

Ecstasy (who wore a Zorro-style hat as his trademark; June 7, 1964 – December 23, 2020); and turntable artist DJ Drew Carter, a.k.a. Grandmaster Dee. Coming out of the fertile New York rap scene of the early 1980s, Whodini was one of the first rap groups to add a R&B twist to their music, thus laying the foundation for a new genre, new jack swing. The group made its name with good-humored songs such as "Magic's Wand" (the first rap song accompanied by a video), "The Haunted House of Rock", "Friends", "Five Minutes of Funk", and "Freaks Come Out at Night". Live performances of the group were the first rap concerts with the participation of breakdance dancers from the group UTFO. Russell Simmons was the manager of the group in the 1980s. The group released six studio albums. Fourteen of the group’s singles hit the Billboard charts. Four of the group’s albums were certified Platinum by the RIAA. (en)
  • I Whodini furono un gruppo old school hip hop statunitense, attivi dal 1981 al 1996. Il gruppo era formato dai rappers Jalil Hutchins e John "Ecstasy" Fletcher, seguiti dal leggendario DJ Drew "Grandmaster Dee" Carter nel 1986. I Whodini diventarono famosi grazie a hit dai toni ironici come Magic's Wand (la prima canzone rap ad avere un proprio video), The Haunted House of Rock e Freaks Come Out at Night, e le loro esibizioni dal vivo erano le prime con ballerini ufficiali (i membri degli UTFO e Kangol Kid).Dopo Open Sesame del 1987, il gruppo si fermò a causa di problemi con l'etichetta discografica, oltre che al bisogno di ogni membro di dedicare più tempo alle rispettive famiglie. I Whodini provarono il ritorno nel 1991 con Bag-a-Trix senza molto successo. Cinque anni dopo pubblicarono il loro sesto album di studio, intitolato proprio Six ("Sei"), ma nemmeno questo vendette molte copie. (it)

  • Whodini (Худини) — американская рэп-группа из Бруклина, Нью-Йорк, которая была образована в 1981 году. Трио состоит из вокалиста и главного лирика Джалила Хатчинса; со-вокалиста Джона «Экстази» Флетчера, который носил шляпу в стиле Зорро в качестве своей визитной карточки; и диджея виниловых пластинок Дрю «Грандмастер Ди» Картера. Выйдя из плодородной нью-йоркской рэп-сцены начала 80-х, Whodini была одной из первых рэп-групп, добавивших в свою музыку изюминку R&B, заложив тем самым основу для нового жанра — нью-джек-свинг. Группа сделала себе имя благодаря добродушным песням, таким как «Magic’s Wand» (первая рэп-песня, сопровождающаяся видеоклипом), «The Haunted House of Rock» (перезапись песни «Monster Mash» 1962 года), «Friends», «Five Minutes Of Funk» и «Freaks Come Out at Night». Живые выступления группы стали первыми рэп-концертами с участием танцоров брейк-данса из группы UTFO. Расселл Симмонс был менеджером группы в 80-х годах. Группа выпустила шесть студийных альбомов. 14 синглов группы входили в чарты американского журнала Billboard. 3 альбома группы были сертифицированы RIAA как «золотые», а один из них стал «платиновым» за счёт их громкого хита «Friends», попавшего в чарт Billboard Hot 100.
