Captain Rapp was the Rapp name of Larry E Glenn after honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force. I met rapper Disco Daddy who was a Los Angeles D.J. and Rapper who worked at the biggest Record store in Los Angeles Big Bens! We met at Magic Johnson's 22nd birthday at the Variety Arts Center. He was looking for a partner and was auditioning rappers. I got the job and we wrote and released Gigolo Groove" and the song was one of the hottest songs in LA. Captain Rapps first performance was with the Sugerhill Gang at VIP records. Captain Rapp was signed to the same label as ICE-T, Saturn Records. Bad Times was produced by Rich Cason, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Captain Rapp was the writer of the song which was written while living in LONG BEACH Ca. The first rapper to come from Long Beach ca, then Snoop Dogg came second, who was also a good friend of mine. Captain Rapp spent time with DR Dre, Lonzo Williams, from the Wrecking CRu, D.J flash, was also one of the first to hear the songs of NWA Straight Outta Compton. Gigolo Groove was a Big Song in California. When I wrote Bad times it was due to the Chaos in the neighborhood of Central Long Beach, not Good Times by Chic. And I lived in Long Beach for the entire time I lived in Southern California, not Los Angeles. I worked on other songs as a writer or producer, with Leon Haywood, Rich Cason, Norman Beavers from Lakeside, currently lives in Northern California as a entertainment Manager. 69.236.71.67 (talk) 02:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
