TO HEAR THIS INTERVIEW http://weaa.org/post/remembering-late-kool-dj-aj
TO MY FRIEND KOOL DJ AJ AND HIS FANS FROM VANSILK
R.I.P FOREVER TO HIP HOP PIONEERING DJ & PROMOTER KOOL DJ AJ. Many
may not know the man but I known AJ since 1975 we both came from the
South Bronx AJ St Marys and Moore House and myself Vansilk John Adams
but reppin Paterson Projects (281) But my txt this morning from Big
Daddy Kane that AJ had passed, I called Kurtis Blow and then Ice T
manager Mickey Bentson to make sure. Well KOOL DJ AJ aka Aaron O Bryant
is important to me because he was the person the co sign me into HIP
HOP at the time as a dj his MC was Kenny Gee, then Sonny Gee to Keith
Cowboy who went on to be with Grandmaster Flash and the Furiou 5 and in
the end he rode out with Busybee Starski. Now all this happened before
the 1st record in Hip Hop was released in 1979. KOOL Dj Aj was a dj and
Promoter and he was a better promoter then a dj but he was the Blueprint
to all Hip Hop parties then He put me on as a promoter because I was
one of his flyer guys handing out flyers..AJ created the HIP HOP battles
called the MC CONVENTION OR MC BATTLE .To this date the now famous HIP
HOP Battle between KOOL MOE DEE and BUSYBEE was promoted by myself
Vansilk aka R C PAC JAM, KOOL DJ AJ and the HARLEM WORLD CREW which
consist of DJ RANDY AND DARRYL whi both came from my projects JOHN ADAMS
and Charlie Rock and Son of Sam who made up the Harlem World Crew. We
were the promoter of KOOL MOE DEE Vs BUSYBEE Part 1 and 2. But AJ did
many parties. M e and AJ argued about putting the Force MC's on but he
didn't want to but I said fuck it I put the Force Mc's on way before
they got signed to Tommy Boy Records. Its was me, Stevie D, Mercury and
Dr. Rock the dj. I Put them in Harlem World and other places when no
promoter wanted to mess with them. But they became popular and then all
the other promoters wanted to book them. But that's is another Soap
Opera. Back to Aj later on he became Kurtis Blow Dj and Kurtis decided
to record song about Aj called Aj Scratch which is still a classic..Now
that he is gone his legacy will live on. Over the years we became
distant but my love for the man who put me down in Hip Hop would never
be forgotten. .MISS YOU AJ! for more True Hip Hop Culture visit http://www.rapamania.com
