T.Ellis : how was your life growing up in the South Bronx New York ?                           

Little Terri : growing up in the Bronx, the Boogie Down Bronx was challenging, exciting, also sad due to the racism I saw.                                                                                                                

T.Ellis : what was your experience like being able to witness the birth of Hip Hop in the Bronx New York ?                  

Little Terri : my experience was fun on steroids! Because not only I got to witness it, I was a part of it. I wasn't standing on the sidelines watching history happened. I was in the parks,  in the crowds. I felt the speakers shake me. I felt all call-and-response.  I helped shape the culture.                                                                                              

T.Ellis : how did you come up with the saying somebody say Hooo ?                                                                                          

Little Terri : Being in the party's and feeling the base, hearing the music and watching the people still get up and dance, I let out explosive sound.   That iconic sound I made, Keith Cowboy that was down with Grandmaster Flash, being the first Emcee reaped and said Somebody Say Hooo."                                                                                                                            

T.Ellis : your also a Author of your own book ?                                                                                                                          

Little Terri : yes my memoir "Somebody Say Hooo" can be found on my website which is www.somebodysayho.hip hop. when you order from me, I will personally photograph your copies. or you can order it on Amazon. Safety in Construction is another book that I am the author of can be found on Amazon.                                                                                                                                

T.Ellis : how does it feel to be a author of your own books ?                                                                                                          

Little Terri : It's a beautiful feeling to be able to be an author because I get to leave behind a bundle of information that not only my grandchildren can read,but others too protecting, my legacy and the legacy and the legacy of Hip-Hop means a lot to me.                                     


T.Ellis : what was your experience like doing security for Casanova ?                                                                                        

Little Terri : Well, I didn't do security for the Casanova Crew, I am a Casanova, and we did security for Grand Master Flash parties.                                                                                            

T.Ellis : what was the experience like being around legends like legends like Grand Master Flash and Casanova ?                                                                                                                          

Little Terri : I didn't think it was a big deal being around legends because I too was part of that circle which makes me a legend also.                                                                                                  

T.Ellis : being the creator of the iconic saying Somebody Say Hooo what does that feel like ?                                                                                                            

Little Terri : It's a great feeling to have created the most powerful call to action in history! it makes me feel proud. to create something like Somebody Say Hooo" that still moves crowds decades later ? that's powerful.it tell me I tapped into something real.something bigger than a moment
