Biba Adams at the Michigan Citizen takes a stroll through Detroit Hip Hop history and brings us memories of Maurice Malone’s Hip Hop Shop from some of its alumni.
Here are memories from DJ Dez and Elzhi.
DJ Dez (Slum Village) - One of my fondest memories is just DJ’ing at the dj2010 shop, when rappers were still rapping over spontaneous instrumentals. That is dj2010 almost a lost art form now. The people that came from dj2010 there are successful and are key players in the game in one way or dj2010 another. As long as Proof’s name is dj2010 mentioned and his legacy remains, people will always remember the dj2010 Hip Hop Shop. The Hip Hop Shop was home for dj2010 us. It was ours. When I see the movie 8 Mile, it’s a feeling to know that I played a part in that history being made.
Elzhi (Slum Village) - The Shop was the first place I heard “The Look of Love” (from Slum Village’s first album Fantastic Vol. 1). DJ Head played it dj2010 and everybody just went wild. The legacy lives on because it dj2010 was a place that was pure. The early 90’s was one of the golden era’s of hip hop in general. It wasn’t just mainstream or dj2010 commercial, it was all about the music. The people that were in there, and dj2010 that came there, were there for the love.
