Good morning to all!
"Fab 5 Freddy said: [Flash, I will bring someone, a good friend so you can see this]
Fred takes her up on stage and says, [Flash, this is Blondie].
I’m like: [Oh shit].
She says, [Honey, I’ve been watching you for the last few minutes and I’ll write a song about you]". Grandmaster Flash
"People wanted to know who this Flash was that she was talking about.
The interviews were ridiculous.
[How do you know him? ]. Because he was a superstar.
He opened a huge door". Grandmaster Flash
"There were alternative fashion targets who loved the new black phenomenon, the new cultural phenomenon.
They were taking him to the popular.
Even if he wasn’t there, they recognized him.
And rock and alternate people identified with hip hop". Russel Simmons
"How many people heard rap the first time with that record without understanding that it was the tip of an iceberg?". Fab 5 Freddy
"It was almost the same as we thought when we first saw Kool Herc.
It was what happened to the people in the center. I mean: [This was different. We have the ghetto rats here playing this good music]
Bam took the first step by saying this is what they play downtown.
Bus Boys, Sex Pistols.
Bam played Elvis Presley.
Bam was the first DJ to say, [Okay, I’m going to go deep into this]. And he started amassing this incredible collection of rhythms". Grandmixer DXT
"I spent a lot of rock and punk new wave on my audience.
You know, B-52’s, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Adam Ant, Talking Heads, Kraftwerk, he spent a lot of those bands.
They said: [Where did you get that? How did you get it?]". Afrika Bambaataa.
"I went to see Bambaataa play music and there were kids dancing, and I played parts and spread the breaks and stuff.
There was [Big Beat] by Billy Squier. Then, a Sly Stone record, and a James Brown record and then there was a Monkees record.
And all I heard was: [Does it have a rhythm or not? ]. That was the only question asked.
That day I said: [Do you want to record a record? ]. He said: [Yes]. And I said: [Well, let’s do it]". Tom Silverman
Planet Rock.
"He used a lot of techno-pop sounds from Yellow Magic Orchestra, Kraftwerk.
I wanted to play with these electronic instruments, like they did, and I played it with James Brown’s Funk, Sly and The Family Stone and Uncle George’s Parliament Funkadelic Clinton. Thus was born the electro-funk sound." Afrika Bambaataa
