Kangol Kid of UTFO Birthday Party, OFF THE HOOK

[admin]

What's Good Hip Hop Lovers:
A few weeks back I had the opportunity to step out with my Camera Operator Rob Walker and Mike Givan from Givan Vertical Chess (givan.com) for the Kangol Kid Birthday Party at the Shadow Night Club in Manhattan New York. The event was off the hook. We were invited by Kangol to cover the party for ourgangitvnet.com.

What we experienced was a capacity crowd that was inclusive of the following: Big Daddy Kane, The One and Only Kool Herc, Queen Pen, Eazy Mo Bee & His partner in crime Benny Neggro, Peeble Pooh & K.C. from Harlems Def Committee, The Retro Kids, Knight, Comedian John O, Singer and writer Sheba, Lin-Que, Milk D. Whistle, Chubb Rock, Dana Dane, Red Alert, Mike C & Tito of the Fearless Four and who can forget Blue Magic.

Having the opportunity to interview all of these wonderful people that have contributed to Black music is just simply incredible and an experience that I will remember for a long time.The Interview with Blue Magic had an effect on me that is truly difficult to explain, afterall I literally was raised on their music. The Side Show Album was a key part of the muscial back drop of my life from about 1977 to date. These soulful crooners just simply you how to lay it down and keep it real for the ladies. I could realize that as a bright eyed 12 year old. We use to huddle up in somebodies basement on the block after I copped the album from my Big Brothers Collection, without him knowing of course and scoot down the street and then it was on till our parents said it was time to come home.

Interviewing all the others in attendance was an experience for in many cases it was a reunion of sorts, for many of the aformentioned have appeared on our past Television Show New York Vibes(see the Vintage Vibes link on ourgang62.com). All were gracious for their interviews and more than happy to accomodate.
