    Hey this is something that shoulda been a spike lee joint yeah straight outta brooklyn . You need to add the original bass maker DJ Frankie -D from the Marcy projects home of Jay-z . And you cant forget the mixologist Carisma . These guys pave the way for djs like me to keep the old school alive and kickin . Most old school djs like Master -D aka dj Lance and Dj Dilligard are still puttin it down .One thing about Brooklyn Djs we always had a boomin system.

    Back in the days, the first lady of hip hop ever was Ms. Baby Love from Brooklyn, BL mc’d for Dance Masters ( Brooklyn) Yo BL was the hottest and first female MC on the planet. Ms. Baby Love was the MC for Carisma (Bruce Funk). Ms. Baby Love was the first lady of hip hop and she was fly as ever. I remember her at Broadway International, Club Tribeca and CeSoir.. tHANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
