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.
