Disarray in Unison
"I attempted to be a break-dancer first. But I found myself drawn to watching Kool Herc. After the third time I saw him, I noticed this thing I later termed the "disarray unison factor." He might play something that was downtempo and then right behind that would play something that was uptempo, and it wasn't on time. In between record A and record B, you could see how off time it was in the way the audience would go into disarray. "Find the beat and then go back into unison" was basically my calling from God. I knew I had to fix that."
