Usually with a drum break

it starts with someone saying "THIS THE NEW SHIT" and announcing himself as "DJ SO AND SO" in a hyped manner, with delay effects on his voice

Because the bassline from "Good Times" just wasn't long enough, dammit.

more seriously....you should look up DJ Kool Herc from the Bronx....that's one of the usually accepted "beginnings"...although I'm sure that's not quite accurate, and maybe someone else here could give you better info...

other names to google:
Afrika Bambaata
Grandmaster Flash
Fatback Band - King Tim III

My dad was friends with the Last Poets in college.

'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life' has some fascinating history in it.

Best summed up with a quote from someone off FallNet: (or at least paraphrase, I can't remember it exactly...)

'The other night my father came over to my house and I turned on the computer. Immediately 'Totale's Turns' (1981) started coming out of the speakers. "I didn't know you listened to hip-hop" he said'.*

So Mark E. Smith invented it.

*Any retardedness in the writing of this paragraph is entirely my fault.

Sasha, scarily enough, Coldcut kinda claimed that very fact in an interview they did around 1989 after "What's That Noise?!" came out.. then again, it may just have been B.S. to help give props to Mark E. for the guest appearance on "(I'm In) Deep".

You see, when hip and hop love each other very much...
