The World's Famous Supreme Team!!!!!!
2 5%ers from Brownsville, BK, DJ'ing and rocking local crowds and late night college radio station WHBI (105.9). And yes, THIS is exactly where the Supreme Team name came from.
Somehow, they team up with Malcolm McLaren, who was deep in the NYC fashion/art/punk/cutting edge scene, and drop Buffalo Gals....... Debbie Harry from Blondie, Fab Five Freddy, even Russell Simmons also rolled in the same scenes back then. Old NYC.
If you DJ'ed or breakdanced, this shyt (Buffalo Gals) came out of nowhere and was the ultimate local classic. My older brother DJ'ed and had the record, and we saw the reactions in real time.
Fast forward, a year or so, and they drop "World's Famous (Brownsville, Brownsville)", "Hobo Scratch ("...we on a world tour with Mr. Malcolm McLaren, we going to each place....(Tribe)"..... and "Hey DJ," which the video pushed them over, getting regular spins on Video Music Box & NY Hot Tracks on Friday nights.
Hey DJ was one of those local 80's classics that everyone from the tristate would and still remember. Hence, the Trackmasters and Puff and everyone sampling it for later hits. It's a feel-good song and rhythm that translated over time and genres.
