Great interview. I’m glad he cleared some of this up. All founders of rapping were fba. Including coke la roc the first. And the elements were fba. Only thing him being 13 leaves a hole for some other stuff being he couldn’t travel the Bronx to know what else was going on on the other side
Back in the 80's people would say, 'Oh, You still into that Hip Hop shit!' B-Boy - Worldwide, & bigger than ever. DJ - Turntablism tricks have gone crazy. Graffiti - Probably called Street art today, huge. MCing / Rap - Still some great underground, & educated rhymes & beats out there worldwide, especially in many non English languages. 50 years on, who da thunk It?
Honest story by Grandmaster Caz. Now days there is a discussions who start Hip Hop. For me personally it doesn't matter who start, but who build Hip Hop in the beginning is for me interesting. Sadly I not hear Caz talk about DJ Whiz.
Grandmaster Caz had no choice but to be the first ghostwriter, because BIG Bank Hank stole his lyrics, and forcefully took his place in The Sugarhill Gang.
I still wonder who got that fly ass reel to reel that was sitting in the window of crazy Eddie's on Fordham road. Edit: rocket in the pocket is not one of Caz favorites??? As many routines they did off that???
naah, monotone talking on the microphone and call and response to the crowds by DJ's was a Jamaican thing called Toasting in the 60s. Its never been done anywhere else, not in jazz, salsa, not in disco. where? Not until Hip Hop. Coincidence? Fk no.
@coooutac bro JA culture had nothing to do with the origin of hip hop. It’s documented “toasting “ was a black American style of jive talk on Black radio. Jamaican pioneers made it known toasting came from Black Americans. Shout out to Clement Dodd “ King of JA sound systems” for making it known.
The Bronx is the Home of Hip Hop

Casanova Fly & Kool Moe D did their thang at the Yankee Stadium. They kicked a dope freestyle!❤
Caz cadence and flow back in the day on a Hip Hop track where I first heard was straight 🔥

Grandmaster Caz had no choice but to be the first ghostwriter, because BIG Bank Hank stole his lyrics, and forcefully took his place in The Sugarhill Gang.
But he did not steal. I asked him and Caz agreed.
@@funkyfreshzorro00 in an interview, he said big bank hank took his rap book, and stole his lyrics.
@@deadpoo4707 BIG BANK HANK & GRANDMASTER CAZ RAPPERS DELIGHT- check this. Caz agreed,to gave own book...
I still wonder who got that fly ass reel to reel that was sitting in the window of crazy Eddie's on Fordham road. Edit: rocket in the pocket is not one of Caz favorites??? As many routines they did off that???
