you've probably heard about it. you may even have a pretty solid image in your head of what it looks like, what it is like. or maybe you can't picture it at all. the south bronx sounds familiar as a bad thing. and the bronx at one time was said to be burning, wasn't it? for the most part, the bronx is overlooked. the never visited borough in new york city, which is a shame, because the bronx is a magical place, with its own energy, its own food, vibe, and rhythm. you've been to brooklyn. maybe it's time you took a look at the bronx. >> in august of 1973, the sister of d.j. kool herc was holding a birthday the party for herself. in the basement of 1520 sedgwick avenue. as kool herc was playing the

music on his two-disk turn table, he began to slow the music down, slow the record. people stood up and took notice, and they began asking him to do it again. he did it again. they asked him to do it again and again. he did it again. he attracted more and more people to his performance, and people began to imitate him. and that was the beginning of hip-hop music. it started in the bronx. >> moody's records. inside, rummaging for records just like he used to do is the man, the legend, one of the very select few who started it all, who created the sound that hundreds of millions of people now claim as their own. google who created hip hop. go ahead. you get dj kool herc. >> it's a national landmark now, is it? >> no, it's not. we're working on it. it's still the birthplace of hip-hop undisputed. because i didn't start it with four guys in a club. i started it in a residential building.

at the time it wasn't the building. we had a watchful eye over the recreation room. she was watching for any disturbance, and it never happened. that's how it survived. good music sells itself. good drugs sell itself. good anything sells itself. and this was something good. >> was there a moment when you realized, whoa, this is big. this is going to spread way beyond my neighborhood? >> never. i saw it spreading, you know, the dmc fellas, when i see that, the commercial, i knew it was going. it was going. it done took a big lift. let's say i don't have money and all that. i'm rich in other ways, but "time" magazine said, you got louie armstrong for jazz, you

pride. bronx is where the music gets loud, the men are tough. the women are sexy, the food is spicy. if those things weren't true, you wouldn't know what the bronx was. >> so the bad reputation is what protects it. >> i think the perception of it being a place where the funk is alive. >> incredible spread. >> yeah, man, it's good. >> it is one place you'll dream about. am i really there? i'm going back to make sure that place is really there. >> i can't lay off this pork. it's insane. actually gonna get a to-go order.
