DJ Kool Herc. Using the same two turntable set-up of disco DJs, Campbell used two copies of the same record to elongate the break.
This breakbeat DJing, using hard funk, rock, and records with Latin percussion, formed the basis of hip hop music. Campbell's announcements and exhortations to dancers helped lead to the syncopated, rhymed spoken accompaniment now known as rapping. He called his dancers "break-boys" and "break-girls", or simply b-boys and b-girls. Kool DJ Herc, Merry Go Round. Kool Herc (@DjKoolHerc) sur Twitter.
