00:00I'm a DJ, I'm a club owner, I'm an author, I'm a promoter, because as time progresses,

00:09my story gets minimized.

00:12Can't nobody tell my story like I can tell my story.

00:17Back in the 80s, it was fun.

00:20I joined a record pool called the R&B Disco Truth.

00:23The brother that owned the R&B Disco Truth was the brother-in-law to the big time record

00:28executive for Ariston Records.

00:31One day, Joe Lackson said, hey man, I got stuff for Cameo going down on Friday and Saturday,

00:35and you don't even have a ticket on a Thursday night.

00:38I'm like, you can bring it to my club.

00:41Man, the club was cracking so hard, it was ridiculous.

00:45From that point on, I realized, hmm, bringing people to the club makes me money.

00:50Shortly after that, I hooked up with Curtis Blow.

00:53His DJ, Davey DMX, taught DJ Yella how to scratch.

00:57I had a show at his club, Eve After Dark, and I'll never forget it, because he didn't

01:03have a dressing room.

01:05So I got kind of angry.

01:07I was like, well, we need to change somewhere, right?

01:10And so he said, well, let me give you my office.

01:13You come on.

01:14You guys come around.

01:15So he let us in his office, and that's when we became friends.

01:19And a couple of guys came in, and Alonzo was curious about the DJ.

01:25He was invited out to Eve After Dark to do a gig at Christmas.

01:30And I think it was two shows.

01:32So after this first show, I hung around, and they were saying, yo, I wish we could do that.

01:39And the equipment, the technique turntables, and a mixer, and a crossfade.

01:45I don't think he'd ever seen a crossfade before.

01:47Yeah, it was just a good hangout night, you know what I'm saying?

01:50And they just asked me to show them what I was like, yo, let's do it.

01:54Set the turntables, you know, and drum machine up.

01:57Gave them a lesson, a hip-hop lesson.

01:59How to backspin, everything.

02:01I taught them pretty much everything that night.

02:03And it changed West Coast DJing forever.

02:08Back in the day, all clubs had dress codes.

02:11You back again, without your snake this time.

02:15But, rules are rules.

02:17We told you, you can't come in.

02:21What's the problem?

02:23You can start with that little attitude of yours.

02:26Talking shit to me ain't gonna help you.

02:28Why you fucking tripping on me, girl?

02:30Ain't nobody tripping on you.

02:32We got other customers.

02:34Go on with all of that.

02:40I ain't going anywhere.

02:45You again?

02:46Baby, I can't let you in here.

02:48This is ridiculous.

02:50I've had enough.

02:52Girl, bye.

02:53Fake Madonna looking ass.

02:58What's up, fellas?

02:59Yo, I'm Andre.

03:00You know my people, the Youngs?

03:02Oh, yeah.

03:03I know who you are.

03:04We trying to get in your club.

03:06Huh.

03:07Well, fellas, y'all a little young.

03:11But, since I know you folks,

03:14you tighten up the gear,

03:16and you can come in.

03:19Man, this Eve after dark.

03:22I ain't gotta get fucking dressed up to come in here.

03:26Well, if you don't get geared up,

03:31take your little ass somewhere else.

03:34What, what, what?

03:36You thought that because I know the Youngs,

03:38I was gonna let you ease your little ass up in my club?

03:41Eve, let's go.

03:43Yeah, ease your little ass on down the street, Eve.

03:47The club had a different vibe to it.

03:53I never understood how he did it.
