I decided to dig into The Chronicles of a Hip Hop Legend Radio Show archives for the interview myself, D.D. Turner, & Stats had with Producer & Cinematographer Quenell Jones of the documentary "Hustler Convention." Many people say that The Grandfather Of Hip Hop," Jalal Nuriddin better known as "Lightnin' Rod" Of The Last Poets. In 1973, a fast-talking hustler named Sport spawned the birth of Hip-Hop. Lightnin' Rod a.k.a Jalal of The Last Poets, backed by Kool & The Gang and others, told an epic street tale of card sharks, gamblers, dope peddlers and thieves which changed the face of music forever. Memorised by Melle Mel, Fab 5 Freddy and many others, it became what Chuck D called a ‘verbal bible to understand the streets'. Wu Tang, the Beastie Boys and Jungle Brothers have all paid homage to him.
