Today we recognize the very beginnings of what we know as HIP HOP culture. Thank you to @kooldjherc and ALL of the pioneers and innovators from Zulu, to Rocksteady and beyond. This culture is my way of life and I am grateful to be a part of it. Special shout out to all the DJ's, b-boys/girls, graf writers and emcees! #hiphop #4elementsofhiphop #hiphopculture #happybirthdayhiphop #grandmasterflash #grandwizzardtheodore #afrikabambaataa #koolherc #spy #taki183 #cornbread #cokelarock #keithcowboy #coldcrushbrothers #fantasticfive #Lbrothers #rocksteadycrew #wildstyle #stylewars #rubblekings #thefreshestkids #emceeing #bboying #graf #deejaying #turntablism #breaks #breakbeats #hiphopisaculture #hiphopisawayoflife #dancetothedrummersbeat #justbegun #apache #themexican #zulunation

Rapper #KiddCreole — one of the founding members of the legendary hip-hop group, #GrandmasterFlash and the Furious 5 — has been charged with murder for the stabbing of a homeless man, #JohnJolly, in Midtown. The 57-year-old #Bronxite, whose real name is #NathanielGlover, was arrested at his home in Mt. Hope on Wednesday after allegedly killing Jolly on Tuesday night, according to police sources. He had gotten into a shouting match with the 55-year-old man at the corner of E. 44th St. and Third Avenue before the stabbing occurred, the sources said. After the incident, Glover apparently fled and left the victim bleeding on the sidewalk. Cops later found him and thought he was drunk, but then saw the stab wound and rushed him to #BellevueHospital — where he was pronounced dead. Sources said Glover works in the area of Midtown where the murder occurred as a maintenance man and security guard. The legendary lyricist rose to fame in the 1970s after forming Grandmaster Flash and the #FuriousFive with rappers #MelleMel, #KeithCowboy, Mr. Ness/Scorpio, #Rahiem, and DJ #JosephSaddler, better known as Grandmaster Flash. Their songs, “The Message” and “White Lines (Don’t Do It),” helped catapult the group to stardom in the ’80s and made them household names in the hip-hop world. #Speakin4Myself
