Chapter 6 "Yes Yes Yall" - The Club Scene in the Bronx

Clubs played a major role in the developement of Hip-Hop, and Hip-Hop was founded in the Bronx. Therefore the club scene was very important in the Bronx. If you were a rapper/MC/DJ you wanted to be well known so that you could get into clubs for free. Kool DJ AJ stated on page 238, " Your name had to be rockin' for you to get into the Fever (club) free. If you didn't, you was gonna pasy $10. That was embarrassing, to be a DJ and come to the Fever with your girl, and Sal'll make you pay $10. That mean you really wasn't nobody." Through clubs artists were getting record signings left and right. You wanted people to know who you were, you wanted to get booked for shows, and you did NOT want to pay to get into a club.
