My first jam was at Hotel Diplomat opening for Hollywood.
The Bronx is famous for two things. Hip-hop, and 26 world championships.
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.
Yeah when I was 7 or 8 my moms would have little parties, and I would play the music.
That's the job of the entertainer, to entertain, not to motivate or inspire people to get violent!
When I was 13 I had a fake Id that said that I was 19. I was getting in all the clubs.
