Kevin Donovan (born April 17, 1957), better known by the stage name Afrika Bambaataa, is an American DJ from the South Bronx, New York. He is notable for releasing a series of genre-defining electro tracks in the 1980s that influenced the development of hip hop culture. Afrika Bambaataa is one of the originators of breakbeat DJing and is respectfully known as "The Godfather" and "Amen Ra of Hip Hop Kulture", as well as the father of electro funk. Through his co-opting of the street gang the Black Spades into the music and culture-oriented Universal Zulu Nation, he has helped spread hip hop culture throughout the world.
Donovan grew up in The Bronx River Projects, with an activist mother and uncle. As a child, he was exposed to the black liberation movement, and witnessed debates between his mother and uncle regarding the conflicting ideologies in the movement. He was exposed to his mother's extensive and eclectic record collection.Gangs in the area became the law in the area, clearing their turf of drug dealers, assisting with community health programs and both fighting and partying to keep members and turf. Donovan was a member of the Black Spades. He quickly rose to the position of warlord of one of the divisions. As warlord, it was his job to build ranks and expand the turf of the young Spades. He was not afraid to cross turfs to forge relationships with other gang members, and with other gangs. As a result, the Spades became the biggest gang in the city in terms of both membership and turf.

http://www.vladtv.com - Afrika Bambaataa recently chopped it up with VladTV and discussed violence in Rap and how it has gotten progressively worse over the years. "People think you must attack each other to be in Hip-Hop," he states in this exclusive interview. The former Black Spades gang member (who was known to be the one who could bring both peace and war) feels that the industry is directed by "mind control," and that there's no balance in today's music. In this interview Afrika calls out the program directors who only play negative music and people who still use the n-word in casual conversation. "I'm not crazy about it," says Bambaataa. "Too many people die for that word." Afrika Bambaataa also had this to say about people who put up video footage of violence on social media: "Th...
