Paradise Gray managed one of the most legendary venues in music history, The Latin Quarter. In a clip of his Questlove Supreme interview, he recalls how the Times Square club known as "The LQ" became an epicenter not only for Hip Hop, but how financial environments led to a new class of would-be legends. The X-Clan co-founder explains how pioneering groups gave way to Big Daddy Kane, Eric B. & Rakim, LL Cool J, Biz Markie, Roxanne Shanté, Stetsasonic, EPMD, and many more because of money, demand, and Hip-Hop having a true clubhouse.
