I was called Kool Dj Kurt Walker... but they wanted tocall me Kurtis Blow.
That's the job of the entertainer, to entertain, not to motivate or inspire people to get violent!
Hip Hop is thee dominant youth culture in the world right now.
I started DJing, breakdancing and MCing in the '70s and I got my record deal in 1979 with 'Christmas Rap.'
Pete Dj Jones was the first person that I saw with 2 turntables. This was 1972.
I was signed when I was 19 years old, in 1980. I went to Germany and France. Seeing the world at that time was just an awesome experience for a teenager.
