Scope and Contents

This is Legendary Saturdays at Willies Lounge in Harlem. This is also a welcome home party for J.D.L. I am not sure if it’s a welcome home from College or The Military! DJ Imperial Jay Cee and DJ Holiday take turns on the turntables. When J.D.L. gets on the mic he hasn’t lost a step. When J.D.L. finished Caz said, “I see what you was doing up there!” Special K gets on and he owns the mic, he did work. Real good set by Special K. Funk Master Wiz gets on and he’s on some Suge Knight, Just Ice with his style. Pretty good set also. Kevie Kev, K.G., A.D., Mele Mel and Happy Hap get on. When Tony Tone gets on the mic for a minute Caz informs the crowd for the first time in years the whole Cold Crush is in the house, and Tone lets the crowd know, “Anybody that wants to get it can get it right now!” Then Caz says jokingly “And for you young emcees, the first time you use the word gun or bullets in your rhyme you will get disqualified!” Last but not least Grandmaster Caz gets on. Once again he owns the mic. When Caz starts his routine, and I not sure how to qualify it, whether it is poetry or straight rhyming but he does a routine about the word Nigger! Then does another routine called “Before”, and ends it with I am The Greatest of all Time!
