my uncle A.D. was a dj for the zulu nation and i would always watch him go to his gigs and park jams, i was about 6-7 at the time when i was 7 he actually took me to a party he was doing in the park and i remember people doing all these weird dances(which later i found out was b-boying) and i thought i want to make people do what i want by just playing music. so i bugged A.D. for 2 years to teach me how to dj. finally when i was 9, A.D. upgraded his system and gave me his old decks amp and mixer he also gave me 2 copies of rappers delight,2 copies of five min of funk,and a fat boys album. he took time to teach me how to set everything up,how to read the grooves on each record,how to tune for sound i was the happiest,(and most technically sound) 9 year old in brooklyn mind you,this was in 1985 and things wasnt as evolved as it is now. but as the years went on i managed to do a lot ( dmc comps,djing overseas,hittin clubs before i was old enough to get in lol) and 29 years later im still doing what i love to do (make people do weird dances just by playing music)
