Wednesday, January 12, 2005WAX VS THE WORLDToday I went to the Martha Cooper HIP-HOP FILES photographs 1979 - 1984 book
opening for her new book. A lot of pioneers were in the house including Charlie Ahearn, (producer of Wild Style), Henry Chalfant, (producer of Style Wars), Lee, Dr. Revolt Ken Swift, Crazy Legs and several other pioneers. The pure Hip Hop energy was in full effect as I scoped out the classic photo's. As I went toward the DJ booth I noticed he wasn't touching the turntables. When I went to investigate, I saw that he has some computer hooked up to the mixer. I looked for his crates but didn't find any. What I did see was a funny looing cd player and stacks of CD's. I was crushed. At this type of event the DJ, (which stands for DISC JOCKEY), sold out and didn't have one piece of wax. If these guys don't support what help started this art form, how are the new generation going to continue the legacy of Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash and Africa Bambatta!
