Kurtis Blow
EuroDance Member |
 |
Real Name: Kurtis Walker.
As the first commercially successful rap artist, Kurtis Blow is a towering
figure in hip-hop history. Popular and charismatic, he was the first rapper
to sign with (and release an album for) a major label; the first to have a single
certified gold (1980's landmark The Breaks); the first to embark on a
national (and international) concert tour; and the first to cement rap's mainstream
marketability by signing an endorsement deal. For that matter, he was really
the first significant solo rapper on record. For all his immense importance
and influence, many of Blow's records haven't dated all that well.
Kurtis Blow was born Kurtis Walker in Harlem in 1959. He began to immerse
himself in the newborn hip-hop culture in the early '70s : breakdance, block-party
and club DJ performing (as Kool DJ Kurt)... After enrolling at City College
of New York in 1976, he also served as program director for the college radio
station. He became an MC in his own right around 1977, and changed his name
to Kurtis Blow (as in a body blow) at the suggestion of his manager, future
Def Jam founder and rap mogul Russell Simmons. Blow performed with legendary
DJs like Grandmaster Flash, and for a time his regular DJ was Simmons' teenage
brother Joseph or Joey (who, after changing his stage name from "Son of
Kurtis Blow," would later become the first half of Run-D.M.C). Over 1977-1978,
Blow's club gigs around Harlem and the Bronx made him an underground sensation,
and Billboard magazine writer Robert Ford approached Simmons about making a
record. Blow recorded a single co-written by Rocky Ford and J.B. Moore called
Christmas Rappin'. It was a hit and it helped him get a contract with
Mercury.
Blow's second single, The Breaks, was an out-of-the-box smash, entering
the Top Five of the R&B charts in 1980 and eventually going gold. It is
still considered as one of old school rap's greatest and most enduring moments.
The full-length album Kurtis Blow was also released in 1980, and made the R&B
Top Ten in spite of many assumptions that the Sugarhill Gang's success was a
one-time fluke. Although the album's attempts at soul crooning and rock covers
haven't dated well, the poverty-themed Hard Times marked perhaps the
first instance of hip-hop's social consciousness, and was later covered by Run-D.M.C.
Blow initially found it hard to follow up The Breaks, despite releasing
nearly an album a year for most of the '80s. 1981's Deuce and 1982's
Tough weren't huge sellers, and 1983's Party Time EP brought D.C.
go-go funksters E.U. on board for a stylistic update. However, things picked
up in 1984 with the release of the Ego Trip album, which featured the
single Basketball. Around this time, Blow was also making his mark as
a producer, working with a variety of hip-hop and R&B artists. Ego Trip
sold respectably well on the strength of cuts like the DJ tribute AJ Scratch
and the Run-D.M.C. duet 8 Million Stories. Blow followed it with an appearance
in the cult hip-hop film Krush Groove, in which he performed If I
Ruled the World, his biggest hit since The Breaks.
