@@missayawk let’s look at it this way, whatever type of equipment is used by DJ scratch, kid, Capri, Ron, G, and jazzy. Jeff, is very unlikely to create a catastrophe in front of thousands of people. It’s probably why LL kept changing DJs so much.
Nooo, as a dj i'd never use another djs carts, that'sthe law lol! That must have been aweful though. Props from the UK for dissing Maggie Thatcher KRS!
Peace Kenny I'm in the middle of ya book right now and it's fire!! But please keep these stories going as long as you can! it's incredible to hear you telling it straight up!!!
man that transcends to everything! as a software developer i learned early on not to trust other people equipment. always double check it before putting it in use, more often than not, you'll have to make changes so it can actually work for you the way you expect it. that secret service story was nuts lol!
I never forget opening up for a high end edm dj that got paid triple what I got paid asked me to borrow my needles. Grrr. Not only did he borrow them he left with then. I had others but I was pissed.
I've heard Kenny tell this story before and I think I remember him saying the DJ was Jam Master Jay. Might be misremembering that though, especially as the one time I saw Run DMC live, Jay's routines were an integral part of the show.
Already subscribed 🙏🏽 I’m waiting for the audible version of the book. I hope you are the voice reading it. What were the 3 songs BDP did for the festival?
just when I think I know it all....here comes Kenny with the the dopest eyebrow raising stories and a big fat slice of humble pie for me! Thanks big bro from always keeping me humble and much more informed.
Just got word your book arrived. Really looking forward to read a firsthand report on about my favorite artist growing up. And your role in the BDP story, of course. KRS has formed a soundtrack to my life. Discovered him at 14, hearing 9mm. And he still has a prominent place in my playlist.
Valuable lesson right there. That can go for just about every art form. from film editors and painters to computer programmers. I remember trying to use a friend's computer to finish up an animation project and the settings were all messed up. took me twice as long to finish everything even though his PC had way higher specs and more expensive components than mine. Man. these stories are amazing. Thanks for sharing them. I need to check out this book for sure.
Possessiveness about equipment is common among djs - but not the reel to reel! Come on! This is how milli vanilli got sued! Not Kenny’s fault - but he’s a good sport for not being mad about it. Others would definitely not take this so well. I’ve seen jazzy Jeff - after this era - and he didn’t have his name all over everything fwiw
Yo DJ Kenny Parker what's up! I love these videos, keep doing your thing! Yo I'm like 4:10 into this video, but I think I heard this story before? The DJ you're talking was DJ Cut Creater. LL Cool J's DJ, right? If this is the same story I heard, I believe you said it was extremely hot out there & the vinyl records started to warp too?
@@djkennyparker Oh ok. I stand corrected. Great stories, keep em coming & the beats. Btw, I rhyme & I'm from Philly. What's the best way to contact you & send you a demo? It would not be a waste of your time.
worked with him?????? Kenny is his blood brother and had a huge part in BDP , producing and DJ-ing. Kenny is a legend himself!!!! no B.S. I doubt he would ever say that about himself, but he truly is a legend. Kenny produced "Poisonous Products" for God's sake.....One the dopest hiphop songs of all time.
He said KRS called the U. S. President a word that rhymes with Hating but Starts with the letter S. Do anyone knows what that word is? I’m sitting here thinking, trying to figure out that word!!
@@lajikn9ne945 so the dj’s above were NOT real dj’s? i can see the choice to cut into an instrumentals tape being made for technical reasons… i’ve seen many of the dopest djs do this before. what’s your tag where can i listen to some of your mixes?
Hmm. I wonder who were the performers at these concerts. Summer 1990. Platinum recording artist. I wonder who all would have fit the bill at the time. There's at least a handful of people to choose from based on the prominent people of the time. Run DMC; Beastie Boys; LL Cool J; Whodini; Fat Boys; Slick Rick; NWA, MC Hammer; Public Enemy; Vanilla Ice; Tone Loc; Young MC; Jazzy Jeff/Fresh Prince; not too many people who were platinum by then. Various people had sold gold, of course.
The end reminds of that classic BDP intro where KRS tells George Bush, Margaret Thatcher, the entire neighbourhood of Bensonhurst, and De Klerk to get off his d__k.
Really enjoy the channel. I’m curious about the title of the book, which I’ll be checking out in audio form. I know you’re the author but why is the title My Brother’s Name is Kenny? That sound like first person from Krs One’s perspective.
I guess you will know by now, but yes, you are right. It’s first person. It’s from a KRS1 bar going: “My brother’s name is Kenny, that’s Kenny Parker. My other brother ICU is much darker”. ✌🏼✊🏼
@@elviraarivle5435 yea lol you’re right. I’ve heard that track before but just in passing. Just got into this channel. Bdp isn’t that familiar, I know krs from the 90s
Great story Kenny. Kris was wild lol. Many valuable lessons were learned. Was you a part of the Stop The Violence Movement, and the Self Destruction song back in the day?
One of the best stories yet! What was the event called? With all those mentioned TV cameras, I wish we could see footage of this event. Any footage of any artists! Sounds mega!
thats exactly who i think it is...cause LL (beside RUN DMC) in 1990 , was the only hiphop artist who was multi platinum, proforming at the friggin white house.
I'd love to see KRS call out biden for having the audacity to tell black americans that they aren't black if they didn't vote for him. Sadly, I don't think he has the courage to do it in 2023. Even Chuck D chickened out from doing it.
First rule:ALWAYS use your own cartridges and adjust your weights! You know the set up rules, Bro! 😂😂😂
The defeats make the victories that much sweeter. As long as we learn the lesson.
The last stories WAS FIRE! EFF THE QUEEN AND ALL THE PRESIDENTS!
KENNYS BACK IM ABOUT TO LAUGH AND GET EDUCATED AT THE SAME TIME LETS GOOOOOO COME DOWN kENNY PARKER!!!!!!!!’😆🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I first had thought it was JMJ, but from the stories I heard he wouldn’t even let anyone touch his tables in the first place lol.
I heard somewhere ′hat it was ll's dj's shit he was using
Thank you for that reassurance.
It was the Earth Day Benefit Concert, Sunday, April 22, 1990 on the West Capitol lawn. BDP used LL's equipment.
No wonder LL kept changing DJs all the time
Thank you!
DJ Cut Creator

Thanks for picking up the book
I'm from England, I don't remember that being in the papers but it could have been. Big up KRS for saying what he said about Maggie & The President!
Yes , stick-2-da-script . Never go against the grain, always use the gear you trust & do what you intended to do in the 1st.
Low key…this is becoming one of my favorite channels on RUclips…
Thanks!
Peace Kenny, Kool stories, keep SHININ', Word!!
Crazy story! It's a terrible feeling when you're up there in front of a big crowd and have technical difficulties.
Fantastic story - thanks Kenny! “Fresh for ‘88, you suckers…” 😅
Kenny Kenny Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Dope story good luck finding those Shure m-44’s today though lol

So many gains. Thank you for sharing the lessons you uncover within hindsight. Unity.
Thanks for watching
The gong on these kills me 🤣
Love your story telling, Kenny!
LOL! Thanks!
This Was 😯 Epic! The Crew Is Called BDP! The Iron Lady Returned To Rust and The Bush Is Burning 🔥 😆😆😆

Definitely wasn’t Jay’s turntables Jay was a live dj
Definitely not JMJ
He did it on yo MTV raps and Viacom replays it ad nauseam to this day

Love your Podcast. I would love to see you on the Godfrey Podcast
Sound like Kenny used Eric B’s turntables 🤣
I doubt it, I don’t think Rakhim would have got through Secret Service credentials to do a show
Been wondering where you been at KP. Hope you are doing well brotha. 🫡✊🏾💪🏾Stay on your purpose my G.
Kenny u got give the group sometimes Especially in the story like this. Come on fam.
I’m happy you call them needles…. I wish someone had f***** Thatcher 😂 I’ve never heard that.
Dannnng. Great lesson here. I love these stories. Thanks KP
Thanks for watching
11:23 - I can't make out everything that he's saying... help? ::P
"Black people unite, white people unite, oriental people unite, indian people unite and f*ck margaret thatcher!"

I appreciate that!
He said KRS called the U. S. President a word that rhymes with Hating but Starts with the letter S. Do anyone knows what that word is? I’m sitting here thinking, trying to figure out that word!!
Satan
He called George dubya Bush Satan
Was Bush senior not dubya ( was 1990 )
“Satan is a big tall European “ is the full lyric if I remember correct .
@@davebrowne6419 yeah I thought he said 99 for some reason
The label works for father and son tbh - both devils
DMV is live
It was either LL COOL J, BIG DADDY KANE, KOOL MOE DEE, MC HAMMER , ICE T, PUBLIC ENEMY or NWA

No way in hell was it Jazzy Jeff. 🙅🏽♂️ Jazzy Jeff is Super Official…
Facts!
This was a good one
Dagg…. That’s a hard one Kenny Parker
Thanks!
Woww Cool interesting Story. KRS is the MAN tho, he NEVA Gave a F"K! NO SELL OUUT!! Hahaha. B,D,PPPPPP!!!!✊️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯

Noooooooo!😭
😂 Damn bro what a story.
Great content!
PEACE 7
Yooo😮
Great story Kenny. Kris was wild lol. Many valuable lessons were learned. Was you a part of the Stop The Violence Movement, and the Self Destruction song back in the day?
Stop The violence was a little before my time as an official member of BDP. I joined late 1989.
One of the best stories yet! What was the event called? With all those mentioned TV cameras, I wish we could see footage of this event. Any footage of any artists! Sounds mega!
I actually watched my "disaster' on VH1 later that night. LOL
Any guesses on the Platinum Hip-Hop act he was referring to?
I think I remember KP telling that story in an interview or something, and I think it was LL Cool J's DJ, Cut Creator. (Not 100% sure).
@@Nwabe75 That would make sense as Bobcat did a lot of those cuts.
Djs don't share needles
I’m dead😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣SAY IT AIN’T SOOOO😂😂😂
Just when I thought my respect level for KRS-One couldn't get any higher!
dj jazzy jeff & the fresh prince?
I can definitely tell you it wasn’t Jeff!
There’s NO WAY he would use a turntable set up as a prop!
Damn, Imagine that I would have flipped had that happened to me ...
I'm gonna guess Jazzy Jeff or Jam Master Jay... not too many platinum hip hop acts in 1990.
Definitely NOT Jazzy Jeff. Jazzy Jeff is the Real Deal. 🫡 that man.
What's up y'all!
The # 1 craziest thing that happened in 1990 was MIKE TYSON losing to BUSTER DOUGLAS ,
LITERALLY SHOOK UP THE WHOLE WORLD :(
KRS is the greatest MC/showman in rap….I’m not surprised he took it in stride
Hands down. My friend and I debate anyone on this topic. He has always been ahead of his time, he always stayed true to hiphop.
Lol fires!!
Ken where you been?
Maaaaaaaaan I hope that wasn't Live AID and I hope the big DJ in question wasn't Jam Master Jay lol. Don't tell me JMJ was going off reel to reel.
And this is why I don't trust anybody 😂😂😂
LOL!!!
I was wondering if there was some backlash behind him saying, "F___ Margret Thatcher"!
What up Brother ✌🏾✌🏾❤❤
What up!!!
@djkennyparker ,,,have another good weekend Brother
Epic fails book coming soon?
That would be dope actually.
Whats the word that rhymes with “saigan” ??
He said it rhymes with “hatin”
Fly epic fail
😘
It was LL Cool J / his dj Cut Creator?
thats exactly who i think it is...cause LL (beside RUN DMC) in 1990 , was the only hiphop artist who was multi platinum, proforming at the friggin white house.
I’m going to say it was Eric B and Rakim. Eric B’s decks
Nope,They weren’t multi-platinum
It was either LL COOL J, BIG DADDY KANE, KOOL MOE DEE, MC HAMMER , ICE T, PUBLIC ENEMY or NWA
It was LL
That’s so fucked up !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🫡🥷👋
Chelsea Clinton requested said platinum artist
Bill Clinton was not the president in 1990. I think it was Barbara Bush that requested them.
that book has to be translated into Spanish, please Kenny
Ayo do krs hav a criticism of me comrade?
