I'm proud to have been a part of this era. Back in the mid to late 70's Grandmaster Caz from the Cold Crush Brothers was the best to ever do it in the streets and on tape. I was about eight years old when my big bro introduced me to the Cold Crush Brothers. At the time, I was living on 184th on Valentine Ave in the Boogie Down Bronx and Caz would sometimes play basketball at the park on 183rd and Valentine Ave (I believe the park doesn't exist anymore)... today's rappers should give big thanks to Caz for all he's done for everyone. Who would've ever thought rap would make it this far. Do these rappers today know there history or even know who Grandmaster Caz is ? This guy is a legend.

@Adrian Flores I remember listening to that superman rhyme on a cold crush tape in front of the building I grew up as a kid years before big bank hank did it on rappers delight. When rappers delight came out in 79' I had moved to Queens that same year from the Bronx. When I heard rappers delight for the first time I immediately thought Caz had given the man permission to use his rhyme, but it turned out that big bank hank never had asked him permission to use that rhyme. But like you mentioned its a shame today's rappers don't show enough respect to the one's who did it first and opened the door for everyone else to succeed.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Fives were the first "recording stars" of the music business. But the Cold Crush Brothers were the soul of the streets. Growing up in Brooklyn, it was like having GOLD if you had a CC tape. The battles with Romantic 5 and Force MCs (before they became Force MDs) were all I listened to. Those tapes were so watered down audio wise, but I couldnt wait for the next one.

I was 10 years old when I 1st saw the movie, and I KNEW in my SOUL that this (hip hop) was going to be a part of me forever!

Been over 35 years since I first saw this movie...roughly 40 years since I first heard Cold Crush rhyming over "Numbers" on a Rhyme Convention tape that made its way to BMore (via Newburgh, NY). NOTHING in this world charges me up like this scene. Especially when they start spitting "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." Cats saying "baby, baby' long before anybody else...... LONG LIVE WILD STYLE!!!!

They were representing to the fullest. Rick Rubin also was there from start too. It was multicultural from the start. But all modern music (rock, jazz, blues, hip hop) came from the street and had a lot of African influence anyway. .

I am 57 and remember when Hip Hop was born. Look at how far it has come. 2022 and it is a multi-billion dollar business with rap stars that are million and billionaires. Sky's the limit today.

This is the very beginning of the music that would change the WORLD !

The flow at the end was wild

I wish young rappers could study this

This song is still number one ☝️

This epic is better than most rap out there in 2020 - 2021 which is saying a lot!

True story, for those who don't know...Big Bank Hank, from Sugarhaill Gang, was Grandmaster Caz manager. One day, he asked Caz could he borrow some rhymes. Caz agreed...not knowing why Hank wanted rhymes. Hank recorded Rapper's Delight with Caz rhymes. Part of the proof is when Hank says "I'm the GRANDMASTER with the THREE MC's...." as in Grandmaster Caz and JDL, Almighty Kay Gee & Easy A.D. Caz was ripped off, but he didn't copy write his rhymes so he had to just suck it up. Check out Caz "MC Delight."

I am form Wyandanch LI NY. Before Rakim who is from Wyandanch made it, Rap was at block parties around town and out at the Wyandanch Park being handed out for all in 1978 and prior .I lived on Birch street , right around the corner from the Wyandanch park .There was a house on the street next to the park where a extension cord ran and DJ's would get electric to run their DJ equipment .Big up to Wyandanch Day . Not any Puerto Ricans that i seen, just Black folks.

The ignorance and the arrogance of kids today that think they know everything about HipHop and have no clue that Puerto Ricans were cofounders of the movement against discrimination of blacks and Puerto Ricans in New York in the 70s and nothing has changed. Boricuas still in front lines of the struggle against racism in USA. Longer than anyone, 530 years and still going strong…
