HIP HOP HISTORY! PART OF 1520 SEDGWICK AVE TO BE NAMED HIP HOP BLVD THE HOME OF KOOL HERC!



MORRIS HEIGHTS — The City Council plans to affirm the legacy of The Bronx as the birthplace of hip-hop on Feb. 5 by passing legislation that would co-name a portion of Sedgwick Avenue as "Hip-Hop Boulevard," according to Councilwoman Vanessa Gibson's office.
Although the exact site of hip-hop's birth is up for debate, a commonly accepted spot is 1520 Sedgwick Ave., where DJ Kool Herc and his sister hosted what his website refers to as the "first hip-hop party" on Aug. 11, 1973.
Gibson, who represents the district that includes 1520 Sedgwick Ave., said that the co-naming is meant to honor both DJ Kool Herc and the overall contributions that The Bronx has made to creating hip-hop over the years.

The legend goes that back in 1973 DJ Kool Herc spun records at a birthday party in the rec room of his building at 1520 Sedgwick Ave. in The Bronx, and that’s when Hip-Hop started. In honor of the seminal DJ’s contributions to the culture, a section of that same block will be renamed Hip-Hop Boulevard.  - See more at: http://hiphopwired.com/2016/02/04/dj-kool-hercs-old-block-to-be-renamed-hip-hop-boulevard/#sthash.55SU5PSK.dpuf

HIP HOP HISTORY! Audio- Charie Chase and The Furious 5!!!

HIP HOP HISTORY! Audio- Charlie Chase and The Furious 5!!! RAHIEM 1st show with the group at Forrest Houses Community Center. THE GROUP INCEPTION AS THE FURIOUS 5! THE 1st Time the name FURIOUS 5 was shouted out.... Cowboy used the term Hip Hop in his Rhymes, Rahiem shouted out members of the Mercedes ladies Sheri Sher
The Day they finally became the Furious 5. As speaking with Rahiem who had left the Funky 4 Todd Williams and Sha Rock MC ShaRock Sharon Jackson followed but returned 2 months later back to the Funky 4.
The odd thing about this Charlie Chase was the Furious 5 dj when this historical moment happened.
I spoke with the members of the Furious 5 and Charlie Chase to verified that if this is when and how it happened and they all agreed. Because the flyer that will be attached does not have Charlie Chase or Rahiem name on it and the reason why is because that night Rahiem was invited to rock with the group and Charlie Chase was there to dj for them and the rest is History..Eddie Scorpiomrness Morris Kidd Creole
I want everyone to take notice that the Furious 5 became an official group June 1979, but leta remember that these guys were in the game 1976 as BBoys, Rahiem was doing solo things until he joined the Funky 4. When I hear some say I was doing this 1975 STOP IT AND PROVE IT. After the 1977 Blackout that was when 5 a lot of groups starting forming and things started to pick up because my flyer collection does not show anything 1975 unless you were down with Kool Herc or part of the Disco Dj scene which there are flyers dictating that timeline.
Back to the park jam Dj and Emcees if you were out in 1974 & 1975 and I can't find anything on you Please provide Flyers or Tapes. .Thanks...It seems like many have photos but the most Important part of your Legecy is lost...Either it Exist or It Dont Exist!!!!!
