You're A FAKE Hip-Hop Fan If You Don't Know These 12 DJs

#HipHopHistory,#KoolHerc,#GrandmasterFlash,#AfrikaBambaataa, Grand Wizard Theodore invents the scratch at thirteen years old — by accident — while trying not to get caught playing music too loud by his mother. Grandmaster Flash maps record grooves with a marker, times breakbeats with a clock, and develops a DJ system so precise the Smithsonian Institution eventually preserves his equipment as an American cultural artefact. Mister Cee records a seventeen-year-old rapping on a Brooklyn street corner in 1992 and passes the tape to The Source magazine — that teenager becomes the Notorious B.I.G. Jam Master Jay is shot and killed in his recording studio in Jamaica Queens in 2002 and the case takes twenty years to crack. Afrika Bambaataa is a South Bronx gang leader who watches Kool Herc at a party in 1973 and decides music is more powerful than a gang. And Kool Herc throws a party in a West Bronx recreation room on August 11, 1973 for twenty-five-cent admission — and generates the entire history of hip-hop from a single turntable technique.
