In 1969 DJ Kool Herc, Father of Hip-Hop, aka Clive Campell, coined the phrase "B-Boy," in 1969. Years later when he performed at venues, he would shout loudly "B-Boys go down!" and this was a cue for the dancers to go-off (i.e., show-off). Influenced by the Caribbean culture of "toasting" and "boasting," Herc influenced other hip-hop pioneers to take their turntables and speakers into parks and lightly rhyming over records.
