about I-QUE...
All I can say is God Bless my cousins an’em that lived in New Yawk back in the day. GOD Bless summer Va-Ca’s that brought a durty ass boy to Brooklyn NY in the the early eighties at 6 years old.
I heard Grand Master Caz, along with The Cold Crush in the park(RIP Eric ‘Money Ray’ Hoskins), Afrika Bambaataa and RUN an’em summer after summer….Whoodini and Jam Master Jay were Boys to my cousins and Uncles and Thangs. My world view changed. My perspective changed. My Life…......Yeah. GOD Bless to WBLS for puttin up memories we could tape and take back to the Durty that had never heard of this thing called HopHop(but there was something in it we recognized). Allowing me and my peoples to spread the word about what was happnin’...and ‘bout WHAT WAS COMIN’.
I was born and reared in a Golden Era. I learned early that HipHop is indeed party music…it’s also love music…it’s protest music too .Hip Hop aint dead..It can’t be killed. It EVOLVES. You can see it. When NY got stale with it. The West picked up the baton. When the West hit a low, the Midwest, NO and Texas took the stick. Now the Durty(where we all come from) got it.
HipHop aint just Music. HipHop is a mindset. A thought…A way of life. A CULTURE. It’s TRUTH And we all know you can’t kill a CULTURE. And you damn sure can’t kill THE TRUTH.
