	RapReview Feature for March 6, 2007 - Grandmaster Caz Interview
		Caz: Yeah, definitely there's some good stuff going on, the problem is we don't have access to it.
		Caz: You know what, as much as I hate to say it and sound like my uncle or grandfather, (Caz imitates an old man's voice) "they don't make music like they used to," it's the truth, man. It's like music skips a couple of generations and doesn't get good again.
		Caz: It was a different time and I think you would have been lucky and blessed to enjoy Hip-Hop when it was live, when it was word of mouth, so and so is playing at this park, or so and so is playing at this club, and we were handing out flyers.

		Grandmaster Flash instructed his security to destroy any taping equipment found at his shows, but most had a laissez-faire attitude toward their profession.
		Caz, to his ultimate regret, was happy to oblige.
		So familiar were Caz's trademark couplets that he found himself explaining constantly to neighborhood well-wishers that, no, that was not him on the radio, and, no, he was not raking in serious coin off this record.

		Grandmaster Caz, or C-A-S-A-N-O-V-A F-L-Y, is immortalized in the Sugar Hill Gang's version of "Rapper's Delight"--a rap he wrote, but never got credit for.
		(Later, Jay-Z, of all people, avenged Caz with a lyric in "Izzo": "Label owners hate me I'm raising the status quo up/ I'm overcharging niggas for what they did to the Cold Crush.") He's also the famous DJ/MC of the Cold Crush Brothers, the crew that most influenced Run-D.M.C., and is totally untouchable.
		He's the co-proprietor (with DJ Parker Lee) of Jazz Child Records, which releases his own records, and hosts hiphop-specific sightseeing tours of the Bronx with HusH Tours.

		The story of him ‘borrowing’ Grand Master some lines from Grand Master Caz rhyme book and never giving him credit or paying him when they recorded the landmark song ‘Rapper’s Delight’ is well known.
		Hank referencing himself as ‘the Grandmaster with the 3 emcees’ is an indication that he was taking from Grandmaster Caz.
		On the other hand, Grandmaster Caz rolled with three other emcees Easy A.D, Almighty Kay Gee and JDL, so you can see it was his rhyme.

		I heard [Grandmaster] Flash donated a hat and a mixer, so I’m trying to keep it in the same form as that.
		We ran into Caz on a number of occasions and we had a lot of friction with him.
		Hank is the voice on “Rapper’s Delight” and that won’t change, but Caz is the writer and he raps the lyrics different from Hank.
