Doug E. Fresh is currently set to make an appearance at the upcoming Memphis stop of LL COOL J's F.O.R.C.E. tour, and Rock The Bells caught up with the Hip-Hop legend to get his take on the elements of Hip-Hop.
Specifically, he talked about why it's so important to acknowledge beatboxing as the fifth element.
"I think it's so important because when you look at Hip-Hop, you got the DJ, the MC — master of ceremony, which is different than a rapper — you got graffiti artists, you got the break dancer, and you got the fifth element, which is beatboxing," he said.
