"In the summer of 78 I was twenty years old, a college student, and a wannabe music journalist when I first witnessed DJ Kool Herc play break beats for a crowd of teenagers in the schoolyard of Taft High school in the South Bronx. I d seen DJ s rock block parties with disco beats all over the city, but Herc s mix was different, more obscure, more defiantly funky. By publishing an account in the New York Amsterdam News that July I became one of the first people to report on what we now call hip-hop."
