Kool Keith Performs For Reagan

Post by Memory Man »

in the early '80s, kool keith was known as "activity" and was a member of the new york city breakers when they performed for president reagan. in a '92 bobbito interview, keith recalled the event, calling reagan a "bitch-ass n****"

I remember watching this on that night (I was 14). It was on the first moments that it hit me that hip hop wasn't just some lil thing that I loved but it was becoming huge. It blew my mind!
