About me: Coke LaRock, The 1st MC Ever
Coke LaRock is considered the first true MC ever in Hip Hop history!
While DJ Kool Herc was laying the foundation of hip hop culture at 1520 Sedgwick Ave and Cedar Park in the Bronx NYC, he brought with him from his native Jamaica the elements of early dub music, among them toasting over an instrumental beat.
DJ Kool Herc’s parties at 1520 Sedgwick Ave became so legendary that he later turned his full attention to DJing and let his man Coke La Rock handle the mic. This was hip hop’s first taste of the MC.
Coke La Rock began rocking the crowd by doing a sort of swift, rhythmic speech over the funk, disco and soul tracks that Kool Herc was spinning.
By the 1975, Coke La Rock had become known as one of the most prominent MCs on the New York scene. Later Coke La Rock and (the original) DJ Clark Kent shared the mic to form Kool Herc and The Herculoids.
Coke La Rock adds…” Kool Herc was creating a whole new type of party vibe combining the funky beats and the mic together. I realized that people would not only get down to the music but go-off when I would rap over the record Herc was playing.”
