Khultan ::: Favorites And I don't mean to exclude other nationalities but for me, that's who I recognize and were influenced by when I was a teenager via media exposure of Hip Hop. Seeing Grandmaster Flash on Wild Style, or me having an album called 'Smoking Joints' featuring Charlie Chase and others with that distinctive sound coming from New York city, the south Bronx. 06-11-09 23:45:04 _____________________________________________________
Khultan ::: Favorites ....from reply 2: What disco playing djs were usually doing was nothing compared to the innovation that south Bronx djs were discovering and experimenting by creating sound from an existing medium. And your real dumb, fthea118, you make assumptions which is the one thing Hip Hop isn't about. That stupid wikipedia diss you tried to stick on me. You're stupid. Grand Master Flash was also studying electrical engineering and applied this knowledge. 06-11-10 00:00:52 _____________________________________________________
Khultan ::: Favorites There is a whole demography of young people under the age of 21 (afro blacks and puerto ricans and other races) in the ghettoes of the south Bronx that couldn't go to discos because they weren't the legal age but also really not the type of people proprietors wanted in there. Something born out of love for music, particularly older music maybe a decade before that galvanized somehow a totally younger generation.... 06-11-10 01:28:05 _____________________________________________________
Khultan ::: Favorites ....75, 76, 77, 78, Shit, I lived in the heart of the Mission district, San Francisco and I lived in San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, too and what?!? NO DJS, NO MCS, NO B-boys/girls, NO graf as it's NOW understood. 1979? Rapper's Delight debuts. I'm in San Jose, all of my classmates are singing it but they have absolutely no fucking clue (including myself) that the refrain in 'hip hop thanks alot' actually means something.... 06-11-10 01:45:36 _____________________________________________________
Khultan ::: Favorites Rock Steady Crew (still kids, age 16 is old age already) are blowing up in their neighborhoods and what the fuck is happening with kids in schools like San Jose in 1979? Nothing in particular, the big talk from a peer at a public school would be one instance, what Fonzie said or what happend in Laverne n Shirley, or Mork n Mindy.... 06-11-10 01:56:53 _____________________________________________________
Khultan ::: Favorites The music now? The only fucking explanation I can give is a myriad of reasons: Ignorance of it's history, people fabricating their own histories (which doesn't help, because it doesn't show how individuals really came to be actually inspired. 06-11-10 02:12:12 _____________________________________________________

Khultan ::: Favorites So throughout the late 60s and 70s younger people in the Bronx (possibly hinting at the lack of recreational services) weren't allowed into such places as discos. So alternatives were made. Kool Herc throwing and hosting parties at park jams. A pre-teen Grand Wizard Theodore discovering by accident a sound he made on the turntable when his hand brushed and partially rotated the record producing a distinctive sound. None of this was happening outside of NYC. So, yeah, it is remarkable. 06-11-10 11:04:39 _____________________________________________________

Leecalles ::: Favorites Im a KDAY 1580AM ORIGINAL Mixmaster DJ from the 80's and I can honestly say that through 30 years of djing you should be way tighter than that with the beats. Way off for 30 years of djing homie!!! Props for laying down the educational factor in it... 06-11-18 22:08:12 _____________________________________________________
trippychild ::: Favorites You know wat? I hardly ever see any scratching anymore, the scratching is nothing but sampled now and it kinda kills the real hip hop vibe. You know wat, they should just call modern hip hop Techno Funk coz thats all it really is in mainstream 07-02-13 04:47:22 _____________________________________________________
