    I was at this hip hop tour bus in NYC in 2013. A historical bus trip down memory lane around mainly the Bronx, hoasted by Grandmaster Caz speaking on a mic on the bus and showing places - amongst others the block/house where Cool Herc's and his sister were having the first hip hop party in August '73 and old clubs which were the first hip hop venues/clubs while telling the story of hip hop. We went to a basket ball yard for trying out breakdancing, another spot for rapping and yet another to check out graffiti. (There were in fact several spots, of course. One was the beautiful piece that was an homage to Big L.)
    Caz also told how him and others didn't like disco music being the background for rap music. Thet found disco kinda gayish.
    He also told this story of how he was a break dancer calling himself Casanova Fly and how his lyrics "I'm the C-A-S-AN THE O-V-A the rest is F-L-Y" was originally stolen(?) by Big Hank of Sugar Hill Gang, according to Caz. For those that don't know, he made this "response" to Hank/Sugar Hill: ua-cam.com/video/lDlgB9MbLNA/v-deo.html (And he performed that song on the bus!)
    At the end of the tour, we all went in to this joint to have a bite to eat. In there Caz was selling his album(s) on CDs. I bought one and went all the way home to Denmark before I popped it in to listen. *Disc was blank!* ;-p

Alot of HH heads like to give Caz his props on what he did back in the day but my peoples that rhyme scheme was incredible considering that Most MC past and present have used the N-word as a term of endearment or a term of disparagement. Ingenious.

    I actually heard Caz say that Hank initially used his rhymes without his permission, but then when Hank eventually told him, he didn’t have that much of a problem because he didn’t know how big the song would be. Then since the original verses weren’t officially on a record, he couldn’t copyright them.

    • @TheFoundationhiphop
      @TheFoundationhiphop  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, as someone else here mentioned there have been variations on the story. But he has told me multiple times that his exact words when Hank asked for the rhymes were "here, use whatever you want". He said that he wasn't sweating it because he didn't think that anything would come of the record...
