Clip from the Cold Crush Brothers' MC Battle vs. the Fantastic Five, live @ Harlem World 1981 For more information, visit: www.cosmicrockdontstop.blogspot.com
I still have my tape from this show. I remember when I first secured this in my possession, I would walk around playing it on my JVC, and strangers would approach me offering to buy it. I'm sure the current generation will say, "What's the big deal?" But, back in 1981, when you had a tape of this magnitude in your possession, it was all about the status that went along with exclusive ownership. This was, and remains, an incredible stage set.

I grew up in the Bronx a few blocks from Fordham and the Grand Concourse where rap basically originated. This music has a piece of my heart.

At the 2:15 mark the emcee calls out the name of the record! "Charlie Chase! Do some Rocket In The Pocket!" This is a classic breakbeat record (pared down to a 10-second sample by the DJ) by Serrone, played slow at 45rpm, and the DJ is keeping 2 copies of the same record going. Live on 2 turntables, forming the backbone for the emcees to perform. They really put on a full show! Well-rehearsed routines
