Kurtis Blow was born Curtis Walker on August 9, 1959, in Harlem, New York . He is known as one of the first commercially successful rappers and the first rapper to sign with a major record label. Curtis Walker got his public start in 1976 as a break-dancer and a block party DJ known by the name of Kool DJ Kurt. That same year he enrolled at the City College of New York and became a program director for the college radio station . Also in 1976, he joined a group called "The Force." Russell Simmons was a lead member of that group. The Force sponsored parties around Harlem until 1977, when Simmons moved the group to Queens, New York . After becoming an MC on his own, Kool DJ Kurt changed his name, with the persuasion of his manager Russell Simmons, to Kurtis Blow (as in body blow) . Kurtis began trying to sell himself as "the number one rapper in Queens," with Russell's help . For a short time Blow's regular DJ was Simmons' younger brother Joseph, who at the time was known as "DJ Run, the Son of Kurtis Blow." He later changed his name and went on to become the first third of Run-DMC "If I Ruled the World" was the last of Blow's hit songs. His mainstream reputation decreased as newer hip hop made his rap style seem old-school and outdated . He went on to record a song with Dexter King, son of Martin Luther King Jr., titled "King Holiday" in observance of the civil rights leader's holiday . Blow finally gave up his fast fading recording career, but in the early 90s, he .... + Informações

Lyrics Chours: They're playing Basketball We love that Basketball They're playing Basketball We love that Basketball (Now rapping Basketball Number 1 Kurtis Blow) Basketball is my favorite sport I like the way they dribble up and down the court Just like I'm the King on the microphone so is Dr. J and Moses Malone I like Slam dunks take me to the hoop My favorite play is the alley oop I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go, Cause it's Basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow, Chours I used to go to dinner, and then take the girl, To see Tiny play against Earl The Pearl, And Wilt, Big O, and Jerry West, To play Basketball at it's very best, Basketball has always been my thing, I like Magic, Bird, and Bernard King, And number 33, my man Kareem, (From: www.elyrics.net Is the center on my starting team, (To the hoop, ya'll, Watch out, Watch out In yo' face, now here comes the rest) Clyde, Rick Barry, and Pistol Pete, Now these players, could never be beat, Isiah, and Iceman too, Just give 'em the ball, and then you chalk up two, Dantley and Wilkins are on the scene, And Ralph Sampson is really mean, Bill Russell didn't take no junk, and Darryl Dawkins got a monster dunk, Tell me, were you in the joint?, The night Wilt scored 100 points, Or when Celtics won titles back-to-back, And didn't give nobody, no kind of slack, Or when Dr. J shook the whole damn team, With moves that came right out of a dream, Or when, Willis Reed stood so tall, Playing D with desire, it's Basketball,. + Informações
