My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
I started DJing, breakdancing and MCing in the '70s and I got my record deal in 1979 with 'Christmas Rap.'
The Bronx is famous for two things. Hip-hop, and 26 world championships.
That's the job of the entertainer, to entertain, not to motivate or inspire people to get violent!
I was called Kool Dj Kurt Walker... but they wanted tocall me Kurtis Blow.
