A Quick Tip by djevoke

Kool Herc has recently been released from the hospital amidst rumors of a severe illness and that the legendary DJ was on his death bed. Those rumors are false. He has severe kidney stones and like every other DJ, he doesn't have any health insurance to pay for the necessary surgery to get rid of them. The shame of that is for another review at another time. However, it is beyond ludicrous that such a legend should be going into debt just to get a necessary surgery done.

Kool Herc is the father of hip-hop, taking on two turntables and playing records for block parties. He started to notice that the crowd would go crazy dancing during the breaks of the record. He then, would use doubles of the same record to extend the break, so that people could really get down. This is the birth of hip-hop.
