A speaker recalls moving to Jamaica, Long Island and building amplifiers from salvaged radio parts while listening to DJ Symphony Sid late at night. Another speaker breaks into a multilingual freestyle about the legendary DJ and the nightlife he soundtracked.
Pretty soon I moved out to Bedford-Stuyvesant, and then I moved out to Jamaica in Long Island. I used to spend my nights, 12, 1, 2 o'clock in the morning, working downstairs, taking apart radios to get parts to build amplifiers and transmitters and things like that. I just loved electronics. And what kept me company was the radio. Who did I listen to? Symphony Sid.
Anybody heard of Symphony Sid? [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] And we used to sing along with him. It goes like this. [FOREIGN LANGUAGE] Sitting in the city, talking with my boss. Sitting in the city, Mr. President of the DJ Committee. We wanna be up all night, get it with you. We want you to spin the sound by will. You come to the land that's real, real pretty. Make everything go real crazy over Daisy. Make everything go real crazy over Daisy. Make everything cool for me and my baby. We don't wanna think, we're listening crazy. It's got to be Presper sharing all the bass. Now we're all set right, 'cause Head. Run. Run.
Woo!
