You are talking about people who adopted Black American Culture.....

@@dryinkdryink675 you can't get passed the "its black american culture" part so you remain stuck with the obvious and miss the bigger picture. Everyone knows hiphop is primarily black american culture..we got it.. What I'm talking about are those who used elements of black american culture ie blue, jazz etc and turned it into hiphop..example..Kool herc took the drum breaks from BLACK AMERICAN artists which is very innovative and this is what spawned hiphop..Flash reveloutioned scratching techniques..go look it up These aren't lies and it doesn't take away from Black American greatness. More than one thing can be true simultaneously. Sure Jamaican reggae borrowed from blues and jazz but Jamaican created reggae..Cross cultural influence and borrowing and innovating is an age old thing and doesn't discredit anyones greatness. When people get into a huff about who is greater and who should bow to who its stupid from a true historical standpoint because family arguing over music thats supposed to be enjoyed and bring people together not divide and alienate.

​@@Rio-uv1gsFlash was also the first hip hop act to win the Polar Music Prize (which is like the Nobel Prize for music)

​@Rio-uv1gs Kool Herc was a kid when he came here, and he learned what he knew from Black Americans, he admits that himself. Just stop it!!

@@MarshaScott-ns1zd While Jamaican individuals have made significant contributions to hip-hop culture, it's important to note that hip-hop is primarily an African-American cultural movement that originated in the Bronx, New York City, in the 1970s. However, Jamaican influences have undeniably shaped certain aspects of hip-hop music and dance. Here are some notable connections between Jamaica and hip-hop: 1. **Sound System Culture**: Jamaican sound system culture, with its emphasis on DJing, MCing (toasting), and selecting records, heavily influenced the early hip-hop DJs and MCs in the Bronx. DJs like Kool Herc brought elements of Jamaican sound system parties to their early hip-hop events. 2. **Dub Music Techniques**: Jamaican dub music techniques, such as remixing, sampling, and the innovative use of studio effects, influenced hip-hop production methods. Dub pioneers like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry indirectly influenced hip-hop producers in their approach to creating music. 3. **MCing and Toasting**: The tradition of toasting, or chanting over instrumental tracks, in Jamaican music laid the foundation for MCing in hip-hop. Early hip-hop MCs like Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash were influenced by Jamaican MCs' rhythmic and lyrical styles. 4. **Reggae and Dancehall Fusion**: Throughout the history of hip-hop, artists have frequently incorporated elements of reggae and dancehall music into their songs. This fusion has resulted in collaborations between hip-hop and reggae/dancehall artists, contributing to the evolution of both genres. 5. **DJ Techniques**: Techniques such as scratching and mixing, which are fundamental to hip-hop DJing, have roots in Jamaican DJ culture. DJs like Grandmaster Flash were influenced by the innovative mixing and scratching techniques of Jamaican DJs. While there may not be specific "inventions" attributed solely to Jamaican people within hip-hop, their cultural influence has been significant in shaping the genre's development and contributing to its rich tapestry of sounds and styles.

The immigrants and foreigners showed us how they saw themselves as different from us first. Many told us we have no culture. Many had derogatory names for us. Blame them for starting everything. Funny how folks who have a problem with FBA delineating never have smoke for the ones who started with us first.

We dont Black the same

baa!🐑

Flash spoke on it already. Bam was born in the US...they played Black American music.....

Nothing in hip hop is Caribbean ! Why mention their lineage as it is moot point . Thats called cosplay and cultural appropriation . The culture already existed they just cosplayed the culture😂😂😂😂

@@lockvegas05 Sound system culture originated in Jamaica in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It emerged as a result of social and cultural dynamics, including the migration of Jamaicans from rural areas to urban centers like Kingston, where they brought their traditions and music with them. The first sound systems were essentially mobile discos operated by DJs, who would set up massive speaker systems in open-air venues, playing predominantly American rhythm and blues records. These systems provided entertainment for communities that didn't have access to traditional venues like clubs or theaters. Initially, sound system operators such as Tom the Great Sebastian and Duke Reid would compete for audiences by playing the latest records and showcasing their technical prowess in sound manipulation. This competitive spirit eventually led to organized sound clashes, where different sound systems would battle each other for supremacy, often in heated contests that drew large crowds. The significance of sound system culture extended beyond mere entertainment; it became a means of cultural expression and identity for marginalized communities in Jamaica. Sound systems played a crucial role in the development of Jamaican music genres like ska, rocksteady, reggae, and dub, as they provided a platform for local artists to gain exposure and recognition. Additionally, the culture surrounding sound systems fostered a sense of community and solidarity among Jamaicans, particularly those from the working-class neighborhoods where the sound system dances took place. Over time, sound system culture spread beyond Jamaica, influencing music scenes around the world, particularly in the UK, where Jamaican immigrants introduced the concept in the 1950s and 1960s. Today, sound system culture remains an integral part of Jamaican and global music heritage, celebrated for its contributions to music, community, and cultural identity.Sound system culture originated in Jamaica in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

@@lockvegas05 DJ Kool Herc (Clive Campbell) - Often credited as one of the founding fathers of hip-hop, Herc, a Jamaican immigrant, pioneered the use of breakbeats and turntablism in the early 1970s, laying the groundwork for hip-hop music. Grandmaster Flash (Joseph Saddler) - Another pioneer of hip-hop DJing and mixing techniques, Grandmaster Flash, whose parents were Barbadian immigrants, introduced innovations like cutting and scratching records, helping to define the genre's sound.
