In the widely seen and read article 'The Photographer Who Captured The Birth of Hip Hop' which appeared in 'The New Yorker' magazine, all of the photos snapped by joe conzo featured FBA artists and FBA artists only. If latinos/puerto ricans were there from the beginning as they claim, why weren't and why aren't there any latinos/puerto ricans depicted in any of these numerous photos?.
They mix us since the slaves days. ...ThevColonizers been robbing us.Jamica PR most of us dont un our beaches.They keep us poor so they can take it over.Like they did to Hawai No coincidence.Hip hop dame shit❤
ACTUAL FACT GOD. ABOUT TIME. Krs One was exactly correct. Without Caribbean people Hip hop wouldn't exists. Kool Herc is Jamaican British West Indian descent, Grandmaster Flash is also British West Indian descent and Puerto Ricans solely own the Graffiti aspect of Hip Hop. The very first Hip Hop movies "Wild Style" and "Beat Street" Puerto Ricans were in the starring roles. FUCK IS THIS NIGGA LORD JAMAR TALKING ABOUT. STOP SPREADING THAT POISON. Puerto Ricans and British West Indians contributions consume most of Hop Hop. Furthermore, the first rappers emceeing in the Master of Ceremony style were Calypso singers in the late 50's and early 60's everything I'm addressing can be Google searched there is no excuse for his ignorance. Taino drawing on Puerto Rican murals on their Island go back centuries. That art looks very similar to the Graffiti found on our trains back in the 80's. Break dancing looks just like Brazilian Capoeira, that's because once again the influence for that particular dance is also foreign. NOT AMERICAN. NUFF SAID
Hip Hop was created by foundational black Americans with no influence from the Caribbean or the South American Latinos Hispanics Puerto Ricans any of them
American music forms: Spirituals, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented African American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly.. Latinos -- Puerto Ricans particularly -- please explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements of the 14 or so African American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of African American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so African American music forms that are mentioned above. Yet then, all of a sudden--out of nowhere, you folks come along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by Dr. Derrick Colon, radical latino, Fat Joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos---claims latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--widespread. Nice try though latinos and puerto ricans. Make it make sense Latinos
That was a whole word salad that said nothing. Look. I'm gonna keep it 100. I'm a Jamaican. I grew up in the Bronx when Hip-hop was evolving. First thing I want to say is that Afro Americans not only have a culture, they have several cultures. So to say America has no culture is very ignorant. Now, with respect to Hip-hop. You can't have Hip-hop without AfroAmericans because their music and music styles derived from them were the raw fabric that was used to create what we call Hip-hop music. The reason why it kicked off in NYC, the Bronx in particular has to do with racism and segregation. African Americans, West Indians and Puerto Ricans were all restricted to the same neighborhoods away from whites. We lived together, went to school together, played together. Because we all lived in the USA, we were listening to the same music on the radio, Funk, Soul, Motown, Disco. Therefore, we all had a hand in taking that old music and reshaping it. Also understand that a lot of those older generation musicians added AfroLatino and African elements to their songs. The late 60's especially was a time when AfroAmericans were exploring their African roots big time. So you started seeing a lot of songs featuring those conga and bongo percussions. There was no Reggae elements in early Hip-hop music per say, but it was a Jamaican who came up with a way of extending the brakes, that was Kool Herk and another West Indian Flash, who perfected it and created scratching. Also keep in mind that in this society, the government classifies WestIndians as black. We're not federally recognized as a distinct ethnic group. Puerto Ricans are, but that's only because they speak Spanish. But understand that from day 1, Puerto Ricans were right there because this was a culture that the kids created in the streets and we were all in the streets together and at the Jams. People who were not of that generation nor in that location have no knowledge of what it was like. Much respect to Busta, but honestly, celebrities aren't always the most intelligent, informed or eloquent people. They're good at what they do, but sticking a microphone in their face and expecting them to drop pearls of wisdom is forcing them out of their mental comfort zone a lot of times.
The harder they fight to steal Hip Hop it just shows they have no culture of their own. We made Blues, Rock, Jazz, House, New Jack Swing and have constantly reinvented the sound of "Hip Hop".
Thank bout when the slave were brought hear we have the drums Kora Bango xiaphone and djeme but , the slave holder's didn't allowed them to used there instruments it was sending singles to other slave to escape. Instead they used there voice to escape to freedom.
