“Today its hard for people to understand the significance of the DJ. When Hip Hop first began it wasn’t the rapper who was in charge. It was the DJ. It was the DJ came to symbolized the African drummer. It was the DJ who kept the pace and set the tone. It was the DJ who rocked the crowd and was the supreme personality who garnered the spot light. Everyone else including the rappers were secondary. Cats from all over came to your party based upon who was deejaying.”

- Davey D [DaveyD.com]

“…and I noticed that people used to wait for a particular part of the record, and I started two records, I started prolonging the records and breaks. For instance James Brown ‘clap your hands, stomp your feet, clap your hands, stomp your feet’, then I get another one to extend that part ‘clap your hands, clap clap your hands’. “I called that part of the record the merry-go-round.”

- DJ Kool Herc

“Hip-hop has different elements dealing with music, rap, graffiti art, b-boys (what you call break boys)… and also dealing with culture, and a whole movement dealing with wisdom and understanding, as well as peace unity and fun.”

- Afrika Bambaataa
