"And everybody calls me 'Chucky Chuck! Chuka lucka lucka lucka lucka luck!"
I find it hard to believe that all of these people didn't know. Yeah, I was told by his relatives, but I had it confirmed by somebody else from Ward Ave. later on in '84 or so. If WE knew, THEY knew! I was down here in the A, and a few of us knew, but the people in the Boogie Down didn't know? Aight. Jus' sayin'.
Yo, @playahaitian : I was in a crew called the Ultimate Crush MC's back in the day, and one of our members was in the Jazzy 5, before they were the Jazzy 5. Cat named Eazy Wiz from Soundview. Dude was sick with it! In fact, one of our routines that he wrote reminded me of the Jazzy 5:
"Listen up! Listen up! Lis, lis, listen up to the Ultimate Crush!
We're sending this message C.O.D.
To all the party people in the place to be!
We're the organization that rocks the nation,
The Ultimate Crush combination!"

i REFUSE to let this man tarnish and destroy my childhood and the legacy or rap music and the foundation of hip hop culture...
not gonna be able to do it.
But I got a feeling he is going to be ADVISED to come out of the closet put on some pink shades and use rap's so called phobia against homosexuality and get out of this clean...
cause the gay community would LOVE to latch on to this and appears they only staying away because of the molestation accusations
but if they can find even ONE liar this whole thing gonna tumble down and sadly Bam is going to somehow become more sympathetic and powerful in the process.
He's in the closet!!!!
with a damn tether cord tied around his waist , he aint finna come out till they burn the house around him
I think that MISSING sound of harmonizing routines party vibes is REALLY hurting hip hop
I remember I loved this group
(who would have thought one the GREATEST hip hop producers of all time would come out of this?)
and thought like Nice and Smooth (and to a certain extent Ghostface and Grand Puba)
they could have modernized that traditional classic hip hop rec room latin quarter street corner park style rap
Why the fuck is Jimmy Fallon in the Zulu Nation any damn way?
Bro up that picture of that nigga taking a pic with the fag pose that was "just a joke"...
It's funny how niggas with a RASS kass perm is trying to call a whole city fags.
Lord Jamar interviewed ....
Griff knew.
Yeah but Griff accuses everyone of being gay and illuminati so he's bound to be right from time to time
lol....yeah, Griff is always pointing fingers.....
No secret at all hear, might have faded since as the younger gen barely know who he is. Had my kids take a pic with him at rally some years back to save Armory in Kingsbridge. Dudes got on me like "Don't let that mofo touch your kids at all!"
smh
Got me wanting to watch Rubble Kings again waxing nostalgic about the gangs. Saw a couple in Bushwick other day rocking their FMD colors.
No, those that know been known, NYC has MANY a switch hitter rapper and actor so it know big deal. Cats would probably be crushed to know some of them HARD characters on the Wire for instance are gay or bi. IJS
I'll tell you some sad shit here NYC that we were discussing the other day and it fucked me up when I really thought about it. The black ADULT here in the 70's-80s wasn't SHIT on some for real for real shit. We've joked about how grown dudes would hit you with the "Yo shorty, what size are those"
That shit was the NORM, GROWN ass men robbing little as kids and no one doing shit about it including OTHER men. Your family members telling you as a child "Don't sit on so and so lap, he/she a little strange." This was adults FULLY aware that family members and "friends" were "predators" and STILL having them around the kids, leaving us around them or with them and it being YOUR fault if something happened. The predatory grown folks had free reign back then with no type of community policing or vigilante justice and worst part is, whatever happened to us kids was never a POLICE worthy matter.
Had us vexed discussing it the other day cause it was considered the NORM!!!
Busta got nerve.... SMH. The loudest anti-gay shouters are the biggest closet mofos, NYC got a whoooooooole lot of them too. The females know.
Because our community is still in denial about abuse and would rather view it as a white people problem when the unfortunate truth is that it has always been just as prevalent in our communities but we sweep it under the rug.
Oh shit listen later
And religious community alsobut great point...
Supposedly Bambaata's catalog is worth serious cheddar. Maybe that can give a budding conspiracy some legs.
Afrika Bambaataa accused of sex abuse by three more men

Afrika Bambaataa 'molested' me: Ronald Savage
NY Daily News
00:00 / 07:23
Afrika Bambaataa was not just a hip-hop star when Hassan Campbell began hanging out at his Bronx apartment during the late 1980s -- he was also a father figure.
When Campbell was hungry, Bambaataa gave him a meal. When Campbell needed a place to stay because of troubles at home, Bambaataa gave him a bed. When Campbell needed money, Bambaataa gave him cash.
"He had the most fun house in the world," recalled Campbell, 39. "There were celebrities there, musicians, neighborhood heroes. It was the best place to be - and the worst place to be."
AFRIKA BAMBAATAA SEX ABUSE ACCUSER RONALD SAVAGE SPEAKS OUT
It was the worst place to be because Bambaataa sexually abused him numerous times when he was 12 and 13 years old, Campbell told the Daily News.
"He is a pervert," Campbell added. "He likes little boys."
JAMES KEIVOM/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu Nation issued a statement claiming the allegations by Hassan Campbell (pictured), Ronald Savage and others are part of a government conspiracy.
Campbell and several other men told The News last week that they were sexually abused by Bambaataa, the South Bronx hip-hop pioneer whose 1982 hit "Planet Rock" helped turn rap music into an international phenomenon.
The men stepped forward after The News published a story last Sunday about former music industry executive and Democratic Party activist Ronald Savage, who claims Bambaataa abused him at least five times in 1980, inflicting deep emotional wounds.
"I know what Ronald Savage is saying is true because he did it to me," said a 50-year-old New York man who requested anonymity. "I have never spoken to anybody about this and when I did, I said 'Holy s---, they finally caught up to him.'"
HENNY RAY ABRAMS/AP
Bambaataa, a hip hop hall of famer, has denied the allegations through his lawyer, Vivian Kimi Tozaki.
Savage is happy others are willing to back his claims. He said he wants to keep talking about his experiences to pressure state lawmakers to reform New York's statute of limitations for sex abuse cases, which bars child victims from pursuing criminal charges or civil litigation after their 23rd birthday.
Savage says he supports the Child Victim Act, the bill by Assemblywoman Margaret Markey (D-Queens) that would eliminate the statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases and open up a one-year window for older victims to pursue litigation. He also supports a bill sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) and Sen. Brad Hoylman (D-Manhattan) that would also remove the 90-day window required to file a notice of claim — the first step in a lawsuit — against a public or government entity. The Catholic Church has long argued that the 90-day requirement for public entities was unfair to private institutions.
"The right thing to do is come out and take care of the statute of limitations," Savage said.
Bambaataa's attorney Vivian Kimi Tozaki did not return requests for comment on the new allegations, but she sharply denied Savage's account in a statement issued last week.
ANDREW SAVULICH/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Savage told the Daily News he was “damaged” by Bambaataa’s abuse. Others have since come forward with similar allegations against the once-revered rapper.
Zulu Nation, the international hip-hop organization Bambaataa founded in the 1970s, has repeatedly denied the claims against Bambaataa. The group rebutted the accusations, including a bizarre denial that claims the sexual abuse allegations are part of a United States government plot to discredit and destroy the organization.
But a 51-year-old former New Yorker named Troy, who asked that his last name not be used in this story, told The News Bambaataa abused him, too.
"I still have a lot of anger about this," said Troy, who lives in North Carolina. "I've been dealing with this for years. It's a shame this didn't come out earlier."
Campbell and Bambaataa's other accusers all say the music star showed them pornographic pictures or videos and then performed oral sex on them.
JAMES KEIVOM/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Campbell is the latest to accuse Bambaataa of sex abuse.
"He showed me a book with a picture of a penis and said, 'You don't have to be gay for me to suck your d---," Troy said.
Campbell says he remained close to Bambaataa years after the abuse stopped. Bambaataa sent him books and put money in his commissary account when he was incarcerated for three years on an assault charge.
"He was a big part of my life," says Campbell, known on the street as "Poppy."
Campbell posted an angry video accusing Bambaataa of sexual abuse several months ago but he said he took the video down after Bambaataa and Zulu Nation officials agreed to meet with him.

Campbell said Bambaataa acknowledged the abuse and apologized to him at that meeting. The hip-hop pioneer promised he would get counseling, open up a center for troubled youth and step down from the Zulu Nation.
"He never did any of those things," Campbell said. "He's a manipulator and a liar. He's just waiting for this chaos to blow over so he can go back to his dark, dingy hole and go back to his old ways. He needs to put down the candy and let the little boys go."
Zulu Nation, meanwhile, called Campbell "both a liar and a government paid police informant.”
Star, the former Hot 97 and Power 105 DJ who has posted interviews with Campbell and Troy on his YouTube channel, said his audience was originally split on Savage's allegations. But the tide has turned, he said.
"People are taking this very seriously," Star said. "Zulu Nation needs to demand that Afrika Bambaataa step down. If you believe black lives really matter, you have to stand up to this."
