159-DJ Hollywood, Starski and DJ Smalls at Club 371 (1979, Side A)/Sweet Gee and June Bug at the Hotel Diplomat (Easter Sunday, 1981, Side B), 1979 - 1981-04-19
Scope and Contents
Hollywood is rocking and he has his chorus of brothers rocking with him and they are called The Corporation. Their names are Captain Jack, Spanish Mack, L.T.D., June Bug Disco Romeo and Junior. DJ Smalls lets the crowd know that he is the son of Hollywood. From Hollywood I heard some rhymes that Busy Bee used later in 1981. Hollywood has a lot of rhymes, his choicer of records and rhythm is very good. The last ten minutes of side two has Sweet Gee on the mic and June Bug is the DJ at the Hotel Diplomat, on Easter Sunday 1981. Sweet Gee’s Heart Beat record is out at this time. His performance blew my mind because he was doing Rayvon’s rhymes of Johnny Wa and Rayvon. He killed it. he was very clear and he had his own rhymes but I couldn’t believe that he would use so much of Rayvon’s rhymes. 90 mins.
