Kool Herc (881 words)
Kool Herc emigrated to the Bronx in 1967 when he was 12 years old.
Herc became aware that although he new which records would keep the crowd moving, he was more interested in the break section of the song.
Herc would say, "Flash in order to be a qualified disc jockey...you must have highs." Then he would crank up the highs and they would sizzle through the crowd.
Wikipedia: DJ Kool Herc (134 words)
DJ Kool Herc is a Jamaican American musician and producer, generally credited as the inventor of hip hop during the 1970s.
He was a pioneer in the development of break-beat DJing, wherein the breaks of funk songs, being the most danceable part, were isolated for the purpose of all-night dance parties.
During the later part of the decade, Herc was stabbed at one of his own parties, sidelining him during most of the 1980s as hip hop spread throughout the country.
