I am so grateful for this. This small flier on looseleaf paper promoted the first ever party that spawned the culture that we know now as hip hop. Thank you Clive Davis aka DJ Kool Herc and everyone that was involved and to those who continued and evolved the tradition into a culture and lifestyle. Don't even let me contemplate where I would be today if this didn't go down. Salute the DJ!!!!!!!! 25 Cent admission, ladies!!!
Might need to stop by Cedar and Sedgewick later today.
HHDX:
On August 11, 1973, Clive Campbell a/k/a DJ Kool Herc distributed the following flyer around his South Bronx community. The headlining deejay would be joined by Coco, Cindy C, Klark K and Timmy T in a seven-hour jam at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue, in the recreation room. The "back to school" jam would change history as we knew it.
