@superfly07 is there any way an old school head can get a copy of this or any tape from you ?

[superfly07]

I have this tape! Wish I could convert it to a mp3! In fact, I got mad hip hop tapes of this era in a bunch of shoeboxes. Grew up around all this but s**t wasn't all sweet back then. You might have fun in the party but after the stick up kids would be in full effect! B.T.W. Fantastic 5 won this battle for $1000. CC4 was kinda bummin' it out & the Fan 5 came out in tuxedoes!

1bb) On the other speaker of that stolen radio was my face in graffiti style wearing one of those caps with the flaps that hung down to your shoulders like a “due-rag” which I chose because I thought it looked like the striped “nems” crown of the pharaohs. Is that “genetic memory” or something that I just gravitated towards that Egypt stuff then? Or was it my parents with their EWF record covers? Anyway, you told the truth.

1b) I sometimes wonder if it’s not just a coincident that my breaking name was “Tut” (like “King Tut”) that I tagged on one of the speakers of my JVC[?] boom box that was stolen in 1985, and today in my 40s I’m what some would consider “Kemetic” (“Ancient Egyptian Revivalist” or “Afrocentric“) who reads, writes and speaks a restored version of the hieroglyphs with African research spanning 2 decades.

1a) TRUE!!! because I'm from Florida (of Maroon Gullah-Geechee Warrior heritage) and I was just getting ready to post somewhere else on an Egyptology vid about how hiphop was considered a New York thing to us -- and specifically a South Bronx thing to us with relatives in the north to give us more details. I was in New York regularly in those days. I was 11yrs old in 1981, and my major hiphop days were from around 1980 to about 1985-86 when it was underground. Jazy J is a Geech.

I wish the clubs was like this 2012.

[MrSlamCAC]

p.s. I always felt that G.M.C. and the CC4 won that battle hands down, F5 fans were deep in Harlem World that night !!!

[MrSlamCAC]

No joke, I got a copy of this tape in 1981 from a friend of mine in Flushing High School.

I took it to Florida and blasted it in my JVC "Boombox" - those Country Dudes never heard anything like that and were amazed !!! This was when there was no h.h. on the radio except for WHBI in N.Y.C. and that was only "cuttin'and scratchin'". These cats these days have no clue about showmanship, systems, m.c. battles, jams in the park and tearing up the "wheels of steel". NEW YORK CITY WHERE IT ALL STARTED!
