Kurtis Blow: Well, you know, of course, anyone with eyes can see and anyone with ears can you hear that it has changed dramatically within the last 20, 25 years.
There’s been a lot more violence, do you think or would you agree with that? Let me get your opinion on how rap music has changed over the last 25 years. So, when I hear that I still get memories of the early, early, early days of my career when I first started and how things are going, and it was just a whole lot of fun during that time, and just great, great situations during that time. That’s the bottom of my heart right there.
Christmas Rap, that that is like, that was my first song. Everyone knows me for the brakes and basketball. Kurtis Blow: Well, especially the big the main one is, is Christmas Rap. How do you feel when you hear that? Does it bring back a lot of memories to you? I’m listening to some of your own older music that you that’s playing on the radio. I do this every I’m still working all over the world. Kurtis Blow: Oh no, I perform every weekend. Martone: Now how long, prior to that performance, how long had it been that you’ve been since you’ve been on stage performing? I mean, I got a lot of phone calls and texts and emails from people who saw it and said it was a fantastic job, so I’m happy it came off across well, and that was my boy. It was really really really strong and the spirit Heavy D’s spirit was in there thick, just thick. It was much better if you were there, the cameras actually didn’t capture everything and you really didn’t get a real accurate sense of the feeling and the vibe and stuff that was going on and just the audience and everything that was happening. I know that was taped and you know, it was under sad circumstances for the Heavy D tribute you still did a great job. By the way congratulations on your performance last night on the Soul Train Music Awards. We got a lot to cover in a short period of time. Especially for this time of year right after Thanksgiving. Martone: I’m doing well, sir, how are you? His work has been sampled by many over the years, but none can forget the original king of rap, Kurtis Blow.
