With no attorney present, DJ Hollywood delivered a strong and persuasive case. And if the pioneers continually drop his name, he can't be ignored or written off. JayQuan, thanks for this lesson!
DJ Hollywood is an unsung hero!! And all that he spoke about is the total true. He is a Nature Crowd. Pleaser and entertainer. Any one today would be wise not to try to out shine DJ Hollywood on the DJ Platform. You would get embarrassed and shut down on so many levels. So his story is heart felt and the truth and remember TEAM HOLLYWOOD WILL SHUT YOU DOWN!!!!
Peace Bro Jayquan I always admired DJ Hollywood. His ability to keep a party rockin' was/is legendary. The day of the Gordon Parks photo shoot on 126th St in Harlem (among the mass of hip hop artists & pioneers) I asked Bro Hollywood if he could see back in the days, as a young DJ, that this thing(hip hop) would be what it is today. He paused as if he was really giving the question some thought, and like a student who had given up searching for the correct answer in his head, he answered me in full expression, "no". That was the extent of our conversation and we gave dap to each other, said peace and he kept it moving. I'll always respect that brother because not only his contribution is deserving of it, but he's a humble man too.
So.... Grand Risings, and Good am, Jayquan...... Thank you for this interview I’m from Harlem, Harlem Hospital.... born and raised Dj Hollywood along with The Great MasterDon and Robbase and Dj EZ Rock are Harlem Heroes but DJ Hollywood was the next level of how Harlem cats got down back then it was a GQ affair with him we called it GQ because that’s was that hard bottoms and silk dress shirt shhht a lot of the Grimey cats knew they couldn’t get in with that crowd but if you were fortunate enough to attend one of his events you automatically had a Dose of Fresh before. It was the word this was at A time where your you had to be lucky to catch certain recordings with your tape deck or be in the place to be.....Thanks JAYQUAN THE FOUNDATION
I said a Hip-Hop, the Hippie, the Hippie To the Hip, Hip-Hop and you don't stop the rockin', to the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the Boogie To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat. Now, what you hear is not a test, JayQ interview to the beat. And we, the groove, and his listener's are gonna listen to move our feet! Great interview JayQuan, indeed much information from back then 🙏
First time I saw and listened to Hollywood rock it was 1979 at 132nd st between 7th and 8th ave in ST.ALOYSIUS school I was 10 years old it was amazing and unbelievable 👏🏿
Again and again you did a great job ! DJ Hollywood outro is amazing. He gave us an other way to think about the begining of rhymming in Hip Hop culture. Now, I would like to have the Coke La Rock version about his start. Do you plan to interview him ?
Heard about DJ Hollywood in the streets you heard the mixtapes in the streets the clientele was upscale you had to wear shoes in order to get in & just had to be a Hip Hop Head to win
His last name is Heywood & his dream was to go to Hollywood because he liked to sing & dance and entertain crowds. So when he became a DJ he incorporated his ear for music , singing & dancing to his show and DJ Hollywood was born.
He said before he started singing or DJing he was known for dancing and had a flair for entertaining people so the older hustlers in his ‘hood started calling him “Hollywood” and it stuck.
I could be wrong, but the rap/emcee element of Hip-Hop was going to take off regardless. Listen to the Co-Real Artist 1974 song, "What About You." If has the flavor of Funky 4+1 (female in a group), the consciousness of GMF&FF, "the Message", and percussion beat of Run-DMC's "Sucker MC's". Keep in mind, this was recorded in 1974, in L.A., no Hip-Hop influences on the West Coast at this time. Would you agree? And that's not taking away from DJ Hollywood or anyone else. This is just an observation of the times. Rap music was coming, regardless. Stay up Jay! I love your channel!
@@BTman58 honestly, I think because you didn't have the Bobby Robinson's and Sylvia Robinson's in L.A. pushing rap. Also, those like the Co-Real Artists weren't rapping over pre-recorded music. The same for East Coast, Bernie Hayes and many others who made novelty rap records in the 1960's and early 1970's (before 1979)... The point I was making is that rapping wasn't relatively new.
@cimarronreed7556 "Rap" existed bedore 1974 as well. Heck, listen to Lous Jordan (and there were others). You stated, though, that rap was going to take off regardless. Yet when I ask you why it didn't take off in LA, you stated that because LA didn't have the Slyvia Robinson, etc.... Well, if it was going to take off, regardless. Then it shouldn't have mattered that LA didn't have the Robinsons. Rap as a focus was not something people were doing elsewhere. The focus on rhyming, just like the focus on the break of a record, is the distinction between "novelty rap" and Hip Hop/MCing/rapping. So I don't think rapping would have happened regardless because it was not a popular thing and not something that people were taking to seriously. This is why many of the early rap groups dismissed such a thing as something they could make money off of/make a career of. Rapper's Delight changed all of that.
@@BTman58 you're echoing my point. Go back to my post where I mentioned "pre-recorded music." This is why Rap/Emceeing was able to take off. Despite tapes floating around, it took Chic's disco song, "Good Times" which was played by a house band to push the Sugar Hill Gang. Here again, this is what I mean by it was bound to take off. It needed a spark.
@cimarronreed7556 Yet, as I mentioned, those guys doing the tapes, which were recorded over prerecorded music, weren't trying to be recording artists. They were just doing it for fun, girls, etc.... It didn't take off in LA or anywhere else because rapping was not a thing in those places. There was no hip hop movement in those other places. So even if LA had the Robinsons. Rap still wouldn't have taken off there because there were no DJ Hollywood/Lovebug Starski in LA. Which is where she got the idea to even put together a rap group. Tanks to her niece taking her to see Lovebug Starski rap over the music as he's DJing.
It sounds like the definition of the elements of hip-hop is part of the problem with the true history. Still today many of the so-called “elements” are not visible as landmarks however the primary element is still rapping. If rapping is the primary element then shouldn’t history reflects it, since today no one is mentioning a DJ, graffiti artist, b-boys as essential to today’s Hip-hop what does it mean?
Hollywood is not a Bronx DJ thespun the brakes. He is one of a long line of DJs it just happened to be around back in those days but definitely not a hip-hop DJ fuck that
With no attorney present, DJ Hollywood delivered a strong and persuasive case.

JayQuan, thanks for this lesson!
This interview is so important, DJ Hollywood is the foundation for real. Inspiring story too. Thank you for this Jayquan
J Quan you need to be on PBS and school the world

CANT TOUCH HIM ......his brand ,,of dropping music and rappin the blue print
So is it safe to say Rap started in Harlem and Hip Hop developed in the Bronx...? Salute to the great and undeniable DJ Hollywood

Outstanding interview! You are becoming one of the best at this 👍🏻
Excellent interview. We may have to consider him Hip Hops first Emcee!! Hollywood Rocked many Black and Gold parties!!
As always a very informative and thorough interview and lesson. Someone needs to start doing in depth lessons on R&B in the same manner as my man J.

Good watch
Hey Jayquan did he ever say how he got the name Hollywood?
His last name is Heywood & his dream was to go to Hollywood because he liked to sing & dance and entertain crowds. So when he became a DJ he incorporated his ear for music , singing & dancing to his show and DJ Hollywood was born.
@@rolandharris9662 I think his last name is Holloway
He said before he started singing or DJing he was known for dancing and had a flair for entertaining people so the older hustlers in his ‘hood started calling him “Hollywood” and it stuck.
Mickey Baxter passed and loved Hollywood's tapes

If that's the case. Then why didn't it take off in LA?

LOLOL yo he asked where he was born and raised. The homie never answered him.
Yeah, I had to circle back around..
@@TheFoundationhiphop Just joking big bro ,I know the the bro He's from Harlem. Master Don, Crash Crew and. Host of others ✌️✌️✌️
What is his family heritage and roots ?@@TheFoundationhiphop
Hollywood is not a Bronx DJ thespun the brakes. He is one of a long line of DJs it just happened to be around back in those days but definitely not a hip-hop DJ fuck that
there is no rap/rapper w/o dj hollywoodl hence, hiphop would have died in the 70s if the rapper didn't emerge and rise up over dj's
