At this point, everyone and their mother should know that Grandmaster Caz wrote 1/3 of the monumental track “Rapper’s Delight” and never got the proper credit for it. Although his career outside of this track has been nothing short of historic, it wouldn’t be right if he wasn’t (at very least) acknowledged or (in an ideal situation) fully compensated. link
“It’s been an ongoing thing to get credit. But I’m gonna take another shot at it now,” Caz, who now runs the hip-hop-themed Hush Tours in New York, tells The Post. “My people contacted the Grammys and they said, ‘Well, it’s not like the song is gonna be on the Grammys. They just send out a certificate saying it’s been inducted.’ But I’d like a certificate, you know? If this is about the song itself, then it’s about the writers — and though I may not have been credited, I’m still the writer!”
“I want credit,” Caz says. “You know, for the record. Before I leave this planet, I would like to be recognized as one of the writers on that song. It’s one of the most monumental things I’ve done in my career.”
