Grandmaster Caz on Coke La Rock Being Hip-Hop's First MC
http://www.vladtv.com - Speaking exclusively with VladTV, Grandmaster Caz schools Hip-Hop fans on the genre's humble stages, how b-boys came into fruition and why he considers Coke La Rock to be Hip-Hop's first emcee.
Caz says his influence came from artists like James Brown, Barry Manilow and Chicago. Since there were just two radio stations in the '70s, Hip-Hop's roots were infused by a mix of soul, folk and other sounds. The rapper and pioneer also explains that Hip-Hop borrowed many breaks or "get down" sections of popular songs. With the breaks encouraging listeners to get on the dance floor, breakdancers or "B-Boys" were born.
Caz's friendship with fellow pioneer Kool Herc happened organically since they were practically neighbors. While he was too young to go to his parties, he was able to enjoy them once they became outside functions.
While Caz considers himself to be the first actual rapper, he gives credit to DJ's who essentially spoke on the mic during parties. In addition to DJ Hollywood, Caz says he would give credit to Coke La Rock as Hip-Hop's first artist.
