Blake "KEO" Lethem - OTL #55: MC Serch & KEO Excerpt #1 lyrics

SameOldShawn: And you guys were there together? MC Serch: Yeah KEO: Cla**mates, homeroom together, 1980? Is that 80? MC Serch: Yup. I used to follow him around like a puppy dog SameOldShaw: Nice. And you had some other notable cla**mates who pa**ed through the school at that time, right? MC Serch: Yeah, a lot KEO: The whole Kangol crew MC Serch: The whole Kangol crew KEO: Which was Slick Rick, Dana Dane, Al, Omega, Lance Romance, Kool Alski... Those guys were incredible MC Serch: Jay Cool from the Fresh 3 MC's... KEO: The Fresh 3 MC's were probably the first guys from Music and Art to have a record deal MC Serch: F-R-E-S-H fresh fresh fresh, yo that's fresh! KEO: All the top graffiti writers went there. Mackie was a big influence, was a graffiti writer but also a great drummer who went on to do the Cro-Mags, HR, Bad Brains... What was that group? MC Serch: David Scilken, who put together the Beastie Boys, the Young and the Useless KEO: Sure, sure. All those cats were there. Dave Skilken used to write graffiti. I knew those dudes, um - MC Serch: May he rest in peace KEO: Yeah, rest in peace. Uh, incredible jazz musicians like... MC Serch: Sean F. Green KEO: My best friend that wrote metro, RTW, great graffiti artist - his father was Ron Carter, the ba** player. His name was Miles Carter. And I think he was responsible for introducing a lot of the older jazz heads to hip hop, because originally there was beef. The old jazz dudes were like "yo, they're stealing our records". And that's when Stetsa made that response record. And I think Miles was the one that like, got that whole jazzmatazz thing rolling, introducing his father to Q-Tip and Low End Theory and all of that. He's been out in Paris with John Lun doing incredible art. Just everyone there was a f**ing star.
