MISTERQCUE

Not Just Anutha Brutha
.........Yeah, the Originator,Cut-Creator,Non-Duplicator,Rap-Master
No 1 Cut's Faster than "Kool Herc"! Circa 1976 from the
South Bronx,NY!

If you're ever in NYC, visit Rock&Soul Music Store! Kool Herc will take the time out to wax Lyrical on his beginnings (He was the man who,upon recoginzing the need to bring music outdoors to the masses,borrowed his mom's Garrard turnatable and his
fathers Motorola turntable and proceeded to start the Mixing and "Scratching" faze of DJ'ing, along with his patented rap lyric
"Throw your hands in the air & wave 'em in the atmosphere....")
This the man that Grandmaster Flash,GrandWizard Theodore,all the way to DJ Scibbles has emulated!

He can also help you locate old, hard to find records!
Go visit a piece of Rap History!
Peace
Mr.Q

About 15 years ago I used to do a radio program on WMBR (MIT campus radio) and there was a chap called Marcus, who used to have a program on Sunday afternoon, and he would get some of the local rappers to do live performances on his show. Well, I remember one week Marcus had two of these guys on his show at the same time, each trying to out-rap the other, and it got so intense that these two dudes actually came to blows on the air. Talk about a riot! What a laugh! Each of them claiming to be "the true original rap-meister" or whatever... Ah well, those were the days... I wonder whatever became of Marcus - really nice chap!
