@djflash4eva established himself as a disruptive name in hip-hop’s early days, telling @nateburleson about finding his own rhythm in the genre: “I didn’t listen to things from a sonic perspective. It was always bars, kinetic energy, math and science.”
First on CBS Mornings, one of the genre’s all-time greats shares about his new book, “Birth of a Culture.”

How Grandmaster Flash @djflash4eva pioneered the "Quik Mix Theory" and changed music.
Born as Joseph Saddler, he attended Samuel Gompers Vocational and Technical High School in the Bronx, where he learned the fundamentals of electronics and technology. Using his self-developed knowledge of the turntables, audio mixer and understanding of the composition of vinyl, he created the “Quik Mix Theory” which allowed him to seamlessly extend a fragment of a song (typically the break or drum solo) indefinitely.
See Grandmaster Flash's records, turntable, boom box, and more from the beginnings of hip hop in 1970s NYC in "You Should Be Dancing: New York, 1976 and Beyond" at The New York Historical.
And visit on Friday, November 13 + 20 for Friday Night Fever! featuring a dance set with DJ @kulturedchild and a quick talk on music in the 1970s with @thisistlcross.

BIRTH OF A CULTURE named one of @audible’s Best of the Year for 2026 ⚡️ @strongislandmediachi
“As hip-hop has proved its staying power for more than 50 years now, and has become as important to the cultural canon as rock ‘n’ roll or pop music, it’s important that we have stories like these from the people who made it all happen.” - Aaron Schwartz, Audible Editor
As an architect of the cultural, I’ve listened to many respectable people, podcasts, watched documentaries and everything else on Hip Hop, and I felt it was appropriate that I speak on the building blocks of this culture, so that I can perhaps fill in the blanks of what historically took place in the beginning.
I also found it important to include other giants of the culture Ice Cube, Queen Latifah, Dr. Dre just to name a few and their perspectives on this worldwide culture.
Thanks for listening and reading #BirthofaCulture

When writing Birth of a Culture, my new memoir and account of Hip Hop’s beginnings, it was extremely important to include the story of how others were inspired by Hip Hop…. here’s part one of who you can read about in the book. Later I’ll share some names that played a role in its beginnings, those you know and those whose names got lost in history.
