Born in Kingston,Jamaica,West indies,moving to New York in 1967. Kool Herc owns the rights to the accolade "first Hip Hop D.J. Illustrating the connections between reggae and rap,Herc brought his sound system to block parties in the Bronx from 1969 onwards. By 1975 he was playing the brief rhythmic sections of records which would come to be termed "breaks",at venues like the Hevalo in the Bronx. His influence was pivotal,with Grandmaster Flash building on his innovations to customised the modern Hip Hop DJ approach.The Funky Four~s background is an interesting one,with Lil` Rodney Cee having been part of the street-jivers the Magnificent Seven between 1977 and 1978. The Funky Four were founded when KK Rockwell and D.J. Breakout,adding first Keith Keith and then female MC Sha Rock. Rahiem joined,then departed to take up an engagement with Grandmaster Flash. Keith Keith also left. With the addition of Lil` Rodney Cee,then Jazzy Jeff,the group became the Funky Four,with D.J. Breakout and Baron.None of the group were older than 17 when they signed with the Enjoy label,opening that imprint`s account(in rap terms)with"Rappin` And Rocking The House".This utilized the Cheryl Lynn break,"Got To Be Real",over which a 16-minute rap commentary was placed. The drums were programmed by Pumpkin,arguably rap`s first production hero,and it was an impressive overall introduction. Shortly afterwards they switched to Sugarhill,adding the Plus One More suffix.

In addition to this cast D.J. Mark The 45 King would act as Breakout`s record boy,locating and passing records up to the decks as his D.J. requested them. They made their debut for Sugarhill with "Thats The Joint",a song arranged by jazz-funk organist Clifton Jiggs Chase.

Their performances at Bronx house parties included full blown dance routines.After a clash album with the Cash Crew,their career petered out somewhat,through Jazzy Jeff would go on to a brief solo career with Jive Records. Lil` Rodney Cee and KK Rockwell would go on to be partners in follow under achievers,Double Trouble.At which time Rodney Cee would marry Angela(Angie B)Brown of Sequence fame.

Herc's methods also pre-dated,and partially introduced,sampling. By adapting pieces of Funk,Soul,Jazz and other musics into the melting pot,he would be able to keep a party buzzing. With his sound system the Herculords,he would tailor his sets to the participants,most of whom he knew by name. He would call these out over improvised sets; "As I scan the place,I see the very familiar face..of my mellow:Wallace Dee in the house! Wallace Dee! Freak for me! As one of Hip Hop's founding Fathers,Kool Herc's reputation and influence has outlasted the vaguaries of musical fashion. A status no doubt boosted by the fact that he has not attempted to launch a spurious recording career on the back of it. Kool Herc was the subject of celebration at the Rapmania Festival in 1990. Here are some words from the Father of Hip Hop: The first place I played was 1520  Sedgewick Avenue-that's a recreation room-matter of fact in my apartment,yunno. Like the pied piper,the rats came out of the bricks to dance. My parties back then was twenty-five cent, Then it went to the recreation room,then we gave a block party,one time,anual block party. When you come down the block that cleaned up,you know Herc gonna play some music,and um,I couldn't come back to the old ranch no more,I had to go to a place called the Twilight Zone.

And then I used to give flyers out over by the Hevalo,and my mans would tell me to step off. I said, "One day I"m be in here." So I gavemy first party at the Twilight Zone,it was raining,the gods was raining down on me. Everybody came down from the Hevalo,wondering what was happening. They said,"Hercis playing down the block." "Who's Herc?' "That's the guy you chased away with the flyers from outside." And from the Twilight Zone I went on up to the Hevalo...

(From there he moved to a spot called the Executive Playhouse,on 173 street in the Bronx,as well as playing numerous high schools,community centers,and parks.) Assuming his native Jamaican patois,he continues: My muddah roots come from St. Mary{a parish in Jamaica},yunno. A man named George inspirate I from Jamaica,yunno,and he lived pon Victoria Street,yunno and used to come with the big sound system. It was devastating,cause it was open air,when it rained that's the dance.... I did a lot of things from Jamaica,and I brought it here and turned it into my own little style...Herc came to prominence in the West Bronx between 1974 and 1975.

AFRICANS WORLDWIDE MUST START UNITING TO HELP AFRICANS/BLACKS WORLDWIDE

PROGRESS

It is obvious that the United Nations does not care one bit about what

happens to Africans, otherwise, the slaughter of almost one million

people would not have taken place in Rwanda.  The genocide and racist

"Arabizatiion" program of the Semitic settlers in North Sudan and the

converts to Arabism who are Negroes themselves would not occur.  As the

growth and progress of the descendants of Sudanese/Ethiopian/Congolese

people in the Americas becomes widespread (about one quarter of all

Blacks in the Americas are of Angola-Sudanese-Ethiopian-Congolese

origins), people of African descent and of ancestors from the regions

above (about 100 million of the 300 million Blacks in the Americas from

Brazil to Canada), are going to make sure that policies and the agenda

of protecting and the re-Africanization and protection of the cultures,

rights and heritage of Africans are respected and that the imperialistic

and racist agenda of the Semites and religious imperialists is not

allowed to go on a spree of "Semitization" converting to Semite

religions and the continued genocide and enslavement of Africans in

places like Sudan and Mauritania.  Is this why many Blacks in the U.S.,

Brazil, Latin America and the Caribbean believe there  is hypocrisy

shown by the United Nations, the Europeans and others when they take

measures to stop the Arabs and Jews from destroying each other but allow

genocide of "Arab" Sudanese against the Black Cushite people who include

the Nubians, Nubas, Dinkas and other Africans.  These Arabs  are

actually Africans with a few drops of Semitic blood and are called "the

Arab North" by some are even more "Arab" than the white Semitic Arabs

who enslaved their ancestors and destroyed the Nubian-Cushite

civilization of Sudan.  Today, these "Arabs" of Northern Sudan, Negroes

believe they are Arabs and promote a racist policy against South

Sudanese, till they try to gain refugee status in Egypt and Syria and

are reminded that they are part of the Nubian-Cushite Black race,

Negroes and Africans and not white Semitic Arabs). In like manner,

neither Persians of Iran who follow the religion of the Arabs or the

Chinese of Western China who follow the same religion are Semitic Arabs.

Hence, the solution to the genocide that is occurring in Africa today is

for Africans to reclaim their true identigy as Black Africans, reclaim

their ancient cultures and religions, control their own resources, align

and form strong Pan-Africanist/Pan-Negro unions around the world, build

strong and unbeatable military and economic systems and take measures to

protect the Black peoples around the world.  After all, all other races

take steps to protect their own.  That is one of the main hidden issues

behind the fact that Khazar/Germanic converts to Judaism are so

staunchly protected by the Anglo-Germanic powers of this earth who will

do everything to prevent the Semitic Arabs and Jews from destroying each

other, yet will sit back and allow Negro "Arabists" to commit genocide

in Sudan and Mauritania, or Arabist Malays to commit genocide against

Black Melanesians in West Papua, or allow four million people to be

slaughtered in the mini-world war that occurred in Congo/Central Africa,

or the genocide in Sudan.

It is obvious, the rest of the world do not care one bit about what

happens to Blacks/Africans around the world.  Whose job is it to care

about Africans/Black people around the world?  Well it is the job of

Blacks and Africans to care about themselves. Yet, since a significant

amount of us are brainwashed and are being used by others, then perhaps

Blacks in the Americas must develop a regional system and form of Black

nationalism from Brazil to Canada.  That system must have the same type

of power that the Jews have for their people and interests or the

Anglo-Saxons of the U.S., England and Australia have for their people

and interests.

The 300 million people of African descent living in the Americas must

unite and have a common agenda because it appears Africans/Blacks in the

Old World are allowing themselves to be fragmented and destroyed by the

European and Arabist agenda as well as the age-old tribalism that keeps

the African/Black regions perpetually stagnant.
