I"m failing the RAP trivia game here....I only know a few names of those dudes....couldn't have been him either.
Kurtis Blow, KRS one/boogie down productions, Rodney O and Joe Cooley, slick Rick, biz markie I'm guessing it was one of the first two Unless it's Rick James bitch!
It was Kurtis Blow....he was the MC....wore an Army jacket and Ray bans....thanks for setting the old white guy straight...Cameo was a great great show!
In the words of Henry Ford....I might not remember the answer to that question but in a few minutes I'll find somebody who knows the answer to that question! You gave me my Henry Ford moment prez!
Spring of ‘98 when I went back to college I was working at Music Millennium. He came in for a CD signing. Wish I had the picture of me and him. Quiet dude but was cool…… Fast forward to about 10 years ago. Ritz Carlton Hotel, Marina del Rey. Team was pulling out heading to the arena and we all look up and leaned up against a beat up BMW 6 series with a spare tire on it was Coolio rollin a joint! Couldn’t believe my eyes. Players all wanted the bus to stop to get out to see him. It was hilarious.
Slick Rick was the shit but lets be real. He wasnt in ny. He was in the state pen when he wrote his good stuff.
Coolio was one of those stars that seemed to be loved by everyone. He really seemed like a good dude on top of a great artist.
