"Everybody traces back to me". That might sound like Caz is full of himself to some but that's actually 100% true in this case. Caz and Cold Crush competely deserve those flowers. Those guys are legends every Hip Hop head should know about. Lots of respect to them and Nore for having him on this show. ✌️ ❤️ 🎶

[@seanwright8786]

@@jaydadon777 if he had Melle Mel, then hell yes that's a legend. There have been others like Kane. I haven't seen Melle Mel on Drink Champs. It's not about whether I like the artist. To hell with my opinion. My opinion don't mean much of anything however there have been artists on the show that have been given the title "legend" and it has been loosely thrown around. When I said, "finally a real legend " you gotta know that Casanova Fly is one of the forerunners of rap and has given birth(style wise) to a few rappers of the Golden Era. Caz, Melle Mel, Bizzy B Starski and Kool Moe D are intricate components in the family tree of MC'ing. That's the direction that I was leaning toward. Not to disrespect.

As a kid growing up in the Bronx in the 70’s and 80’s Cold Crush were super hero’s. As a fellow Boricua I remember being mesmerized by DJ Charlie Chase. This is the origins of an MC. Everyone checkout Joe Conozo’s book Born in the Bronx with the pictures, flyers and history of the beginnings.

[@Eichwiesel]

Cool story. How was life in the Bronx in these days?

[@churchillcoins8519]

@@Eichwiesel Thanks Bro. The Bronx was rough but their was a sense of community, as a kid the adults and OG’s watched out for us. I lived in Soundview, Castle Hill but also spent a lot of time in Bronx River. We would would go to the park jams, roller skating rinks and youth centers. Watching Zulu (Jazzy Jay, Red Alert and Bamb) is what made me want to be a DJ. The first DJ I remember seeing in person was Charlie Chase. He was Puerto Rican dressed fly, rocking all styles of music and the crowd loved him. However, crack, crack heads, burned out building were the normal.

Growing up in Harlem I remember going to the "Jams" in the pj's (mainly Grant, Lincoln, Foster, St Nick) and seeing the pioneers tap into the light post, setting up the Dj equipment. That's when I fell in love with the Hip-Hop culture. Hearing GMC in this interview teach brought so many memories that inspired me to become a "turntableist". When he mentioned the help taking all the equipment out, guys were right there to help but it was a different story when the party was over hit home.
