When writing Birth of a Culture, my new memoir and account of Hip Hop’s beginnings, it was extremely important to include the story of how others were inspired by Hip Hop…. here’s part one of who you can read about in the book. Later I’ll share some names that played a role in its beginnings, those you know and those whose names got lost in history.

I was introduced to @llcoolj by his song “I Need a Beat” sometime in 1984. Incredible to watch the mega impact he’s had on the culture. Thank you for being part of #BirthofaCulture ⚡️
