Caz expresses his enthusiasm about his challenge in a statement. “I’ve been recognized as one of the cornerstones and innovators of Hip Hop and Rap music since 1974. Although some new and young artists may not be familiar with my name, HipHop heads who know their history know of my influence. From Run DMC to KRS1 to Rakim to Will Smith to Big Daddy Kane to Wu-Tang, Snoop, Tupac, Biggie, Jay Z and Nas, and others have cited me as one of their top MC’s and have made declarations of it. The challenge will encourage Hip Hop fans to Pass Thee Mic, meaning recite your favorite rhymes or lyrics, then challenge 1 or 101 to Pass Thee Mic.”
