DJ Hollywood Biography
DJ Hollywood is one of the most popular and richest Disc Jockey who was born on December 10, 1954 in Harlem, New York, United States.
Hollywood’s renown spread rapidly and he became a regular at the Apollo, even having his named added to the marquee. Hollywood had been DJing since 1972, and like every MC, he “rhythm talked.” And like radio DJs, he usually pattered sequences of one or two bar rhymes. Hollywood said, he used to like the way “Frankie Crocker would ride a track, but he wasn’t syncopated to the track though. I liked WWRL DJ Hank Spann too, but he wasn’t on the one. Guys back then weren’t concerned with being musical. I wanted to flow with the record.”
In 1975, Hollywood would make his greatest contribution, when he adapted the lyrics of Isaac Hayes’s “Good Love 6-9969” to the breakdown part of MFSB’s “Love is the Message,” which made Hollywood into an instant sensation. Hollywood did something new; he rhymed syncopated to the beat of an existing record uninterruptedly for nearly a minute. In effect, he connected the various short MC rhymes/patters into one continuous rhyme, introducing “flow” and giving birth to what would become known as the “Hip Hop” style. Hollywood created “flow.” Before then, all MCs rhymed based on radio DJs. This usually consisted of short patters that were disconnect thematically; they were separate unto themselves. But by using song lyrics, Hollywood had an inherent flow and theme to his rhyme. This was the game changer.

In 1978 and 1979, DJ Hollywood was the first DJ to ever bring turntables and a mixer, to perform at the Apollo Theater. Before long, club owners in the South Bronx had hired Hollywood to play at a spot called Club 371. In the Bronx, Kevin Smith, better known as Lovebug Starski, is considered one of the first Hip-Hop style rappers. Lovebug Starski would eventually join Pete DJ Jones’ sets (a Disco set). Starski, however, was Hollywood’s partner, his boy, and he simply imitated this new style. What Starski added to the game: he migrated the Hip Hop style rapping from Disco DJing to Hip Hop DJing when he jammed at what became known as the Burger King Disco, and later worked with Grandmaster Flash. DJ Kool Herc said the first MCs he heard that rhymed in the Hip Hop style were Melle Mel and his brother Kidd Creole, who were both part of Flash’s crew. But Starski is the person who introduced it to the Bronx Hip Hop set where it quickly became the standard.
