Kurtis Blow recalls building hip-hop from nothing in 1970s New York and mentoring Run before Run-DMC rose to fame.
At a Paid in Full tribute, Kurtis Blow takes Nas, Rev Run, and Roxanne Shanté back to New York in the 1970s, when the music was called “rocking,” “breaking,” or “party,” not hip-hop. Against the backdrop of a struggling city and burning buildings, he says young people built a culture from nothing, with disco evolving into what he calls “ghetto disco.” Blow recounts getting a fake ID at 16 to study New York clubs and learning to MC in Harlem before meeting Russell Simmons and helping launch Rush Productions. Rev Run remembers being a teenager who carried records, DJed Blow’s shows, and was protected and mentored by him; their bond later appeared in Krush Groove. Nas also honors Blow’s influence, recalling “If I Ruled the World” and his own version with Lauryn Hill, which Blow predicted would go double platinum. Shanté closes by naming Blow a Paid in Full honoree for his lifelong contribution to hip-hop.
