Doug E Fresh

The World's Greatest Entertainer, if you don’t have a clue, let me take you back.  “The Show,” “La Di Da Di,” “Keep Rising,” the list goes on.  Back in the 80’s he came on the scene with a sound like no other and he is one of the early originators of “Beat Boxing.”  Yes, you got it, Doug E Fresh!  By far, one of the best who has consistently done it and is still relevant today; he will teach you how to “Dougie.”  He is the creator of the dance that inspired the “Teach me how to Dougie” song that you hear on the radio today.  The group that composed the song, Cali Swag District, is paying homage to the rap legend.    

The event at Museum of the City of New York was incredible.  Mark Anthony Neal, Professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke University moderated and posed many questions to Doug E Fresh about the following:  his childhood, what the Apollo meant, Harlem and the music scene back in the late 80’s, influences he has on artists of today, and the history behind this thing we call- Hip Hop.  The energy was incredible, the museum auditorium was packed and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves. 

 At the end of the night, Doug E Fresh performed and that pretty much capped off the night on a high note.  I give this event 5 stars!
