This is from 1981. Before Hip Hop started to spread out NY. Hip Hop as we knew it after 1981, Wild Style.
“Dewey Markham, a comedian who performed on both the black and white vaudeville circuits and was best known for his skit called ''Here comes the judge,'' died Sunday in Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx after suffering a massive stroke. He was 77 years old and lived in the Bronx.
Pigmeat Markham, as he was known, was cited by Langston Hughes and Milton Meltzer in their book, ''Black Magic: A Pictorial History of the Negro in American Entertainment,'' as one of the ''golden dozen'' black comics.
Born in Durham, N.C., Mr. Markham started performing in the South, working in carnivals and medcine shows as a dancer and comedian. In the mid- and late 1920's he came to New York, performing at the Alhambra Theater and then the Apollo Theater with his straight man, the late George Wilshire. In Minstrel Tradition”.
African-American entertainer, born April 18, 1904 in Durham, North Carolina, died December 13, 1981 in Bronx, New York.”

Daddy-O from Stetsanonic story about working with the guy who produced "Here Come The Judge" for Pigmeat
