Kurtis Blow was the first rapper I ever met…and he was the biggest hip-hop star in the world at the time and was the first with a record deal. This is great.

Danny Schechter, News Dissector here. I produced the story for 20/20 with help from B ADLER back in the day when the old school was schooling all of us. I am thrilled that folks still value it. Check out Http://Globalvision.org for some of the work we have done since. I am also originally from the PRB–People’s Republic of the Bronx (DWC)

Thanks to Dan Chamas for taking an interest in the work and happy to hear from one and all: dissector@mediachannel.org…Respect!

it was a novelty idea then, but the open-minded are usually receptive to new things; it’s the ignorant, stubborn, and stupid ones that cause the problems within the culture that have helped damage it. I always do my best to preserve it and spread its essence. peep : bigbuttabeats.podomatic.com or, if you’re in orlando, fl on friday nights between 7-9pm, tune into 91.5 FM or online at wprkdj.org.

peace and props on this vid!!!

Crazy blast from the past watching this video. Everyone doubted the music and art form except the people involved and the people who appreciated it. Now, look where hip hop has excelled to and continues to rise.

It’s bugged how many times I’ve seen this piece used in several documentaries over the years and cats most of been like, “where’s that footage from?” Well, I remember peepin’ this the first time ’round, (back in ’82 on Ch. 7).

This piece blew my mind and along with a few early televised pieces on the culture, I began my foray into Hip-Hop. I was 12 when I saw this and will be 39 this month. I married “this thing of ours” as a kid and have no plans on divorcing it. Hip-Hop ya don’t stop!!

Thanks for rewinding the hands of time!
