Mr. Magic Tribute: Historical WBLS Rap Attack Recordings
Q Ball
Q Ball is a South Florida inner city native who has embraced Hip Hop culture ever since He first heard "Rapper's Delight" in 1979. His journey to live the culture was enhanced during the massive relocation boom of New Yorkers throughout the 80s which gave South Florida the nickname, "The 6th Borough." His enthusiasm lead him into the skills of Lyricism, Graff Writing, and Track Producing and now writes for Old School Scholar.
Quite a few people know that Mr. Magic dissed and rejected the first single from pre-Boogie Down Productions, Success is the Word, when KRS One and Scott La Rock were called 12:41 on Fresh Records. Magic’s refusal actually was the fire that truly sparked the famous Bridge Wars, between BDP and the Juice Crew. Thanks to that rejection, KRS and Scott reinvented themselves and relaunched on B-Boy Records with their groundbreaking joint, South Bronx. Because of The Bridge Wars, MC Shan, Marley Marl, and the Juice Crew’s underground status escalated to a notorious higher plateau and thanks to Mr. Magic’s influence, in that historical milestone, Hip Hop music styles truly began to expand and diversify. A new wave of style wars began!
And the rest, they say, is history.
Long Live the memory of Mr. Magic!
