As a Latino, I have no issues with saying that Hip Hop was created by Black people! Black people have invented a lot of things in America and people always take their credit. Thank you for Hip Hop! Much love.
Black Americans invented over fifty thousand inventions like the Traffic Light ,Paper bags,Vending machines,Doorknob,peanut butter, open heart surgery,elevator ,telephone transmitters ,folding chairs,3D technology ,potato chips,portable refrigerator,water gun,Fire escape,,gas mask,cell phone to many to name
Black Americans have been in the America's before the Continents Separated!!!! This is a fact!!! At one point in time there was no Africa or America! Just one Landmass!!! So when the Continents eventually Separated! Where ever you was standing! That's where you ended up! These were your first Black Tribes. who Existed during the age of Pangea!!! Millions of years ago, the Black ppl in the America's, Originally called Atlantis! Setup the Olmec Civilisation!!! And Built all the Pyramids in the America's! FACTS!!!!!
American....not African anything Straight up and down full blooded Americans created hip hop, rock, jazz ,gospel, RnB and Classical, bluegrass, Alternative Rock, etc.
@@MsPenny-nh2leour roots come from Africa and it has been proven time and time again for many years, stop with the self hate and just accept the fact that you’re African okay? There’s nothing wrong with embracing your original roots

Exactly! A simple walk through history will show everything he's saying is right and exact. We have actual proof today with some of those Elders from the late 60's early 70's here with us to tell the story.
It ain't logical lol. He's not even speaking facts. He's stating an opinion. And he's wrong. First of all, Black and Puerto Rican/Latino aren't mutually exclusive. And obviously Jamaicans. The demographics of the Bronx would lead anyone with common sense to acknowledge that Hip Hop HAD to be created by a Black Americans, Puerto Ricans, and West Indians. Most of NYC Black population isn't even FBA.
@@jscott181 ..FBA population has been taking a dip in NYC for awhile now many have migrated back to the south...At the time of the inception and rise of hip hop FBA had a strong undeniable presence not only in influence but numbers..This part of the reason the narrative has been hijacked mostly by the hip hop media which is mostly non-black....Representation matters but as we have seen the real will always speak up and prevail...
So black Americans created the record player? They created Nike and Adidas? They created the Kangols they were wearing ? Pumas? Rope chains? It was blacks working hard and making those sound systems from scratch? Black Americans made Beamers and Bentleys and benzos? Tell me more about black American culture that doesn’t include everything from white American culture, including the English language? Tell me more tell us more we’re waiting thanks
@@TechWaltMD The rappin' came from the blues and the battling came from jazz. When I read up on the history of jazz, it was astounding to see so many elements of hip hop culture that coincide with early jazz culture. They're both street music. They both involved competition or battling. In jazz, players used to test out their skills in "cutting contests" because their instruments were called "axes." So when they showed up their virtuoso, they were cutting. There are many instances of even famous and established jazz musicians who battled each other. They both involve improvisation or freestyling. A lot of the early jazz players were hoodlums who rocked flashy clothes, jewelry and got all the women. They got hated on by the "good black people" who called their music "devil's music." The Boomer and Silent generations of good BP said the same thing about hip hop.

@cameronbelcher5857 Likewise, Hip Hop was influenced by a lot of things and music genres from around the world. It's in the samples, lyrical references, the brands, the instruments, etc.
Im Puerto Rican and from the Bronx and Jamar is correct, in the early stages of Hip Hop being created was definitely only by Black Americans. We came later but still in the early stages of Hip Hop growing we participated but by that time it was already made and then we joined! I feel we are all Black tho but I definitely agree with Jamar! Black American DJ's from the Bronx and Dancers created Hip Hop. I LOVE YALL THO AND THANK YOU FOR CREATING HIP HOP MY BLACK AMERICAN FAMILY 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m African, I believe hip hop was created by Black Americans. From James Brown to Michael Jackson featuring Biggie on his tracks, the influence is clear. Historically, the contributions of the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers were also significant in the inception of hip hop.
"It's when you remove black people from hip-hop that it all goes to s_ _ t." A prime example of this very statement is breakdancing. Black people departed from it and latinos kept it alive. However, it isn't as popular now as it was when blacks were doing it. Black people set trends and have the style and swag that dictates what's hip. If we say it's not hot anymore then it's history. And that's why breakdancing played out. B/c we stopped doing it.
You're so out of touch. Breaking has never died out since the 2000's. It's bigger than ever. Blacks stop breaking but it was spread out by multiple groups after it went mainstream. Redbull has been sponsoring events for over 20 years. You just don't know about it because you're out of the loop.
respectfully disagree. bboys dont refer to ourselves as "breakdancers" unless addressing someone outside the culture. I been breaking for over 15 years, if it's played out in mainstream, o well. been live and well in the underground, don't see why it gotta be a race thing especially when it comes to breakin specifically. we still got black brothas out here puttin in work. Machine, steez, nam, k-mel, vengeance, iron monkey, ajax, and all over the world. expand your bubble. big up to the OG twins, original bboys, but also big up to those who know n recognize our art aint got nothin to do with skin color. peace.
Latino here. Hip hop was started by black Americans. I even heard of Pig Meat Market from the 60s. Tariq Nasheed referenced it. I’m tired of Latinos saying they started hip hop. Such bs. In that case, salsa is American music because it started in New York by black folks from Cuba. Much respect to black Americans.
@@jnc8732 when it comes to Latinos I distance myself from mainly Mexicans and Puerto Ricans because Puerto Ricans think they’re a race when it’s a nationality and don’t know their history and wanna claim everything. I swear they’re gonna claim country music lol. My issue with Mexicans is they don’t know their history as far as the African diaspora in the country like my best friend Javier who’s a black Mexican from Veracruz, Mexico where you find the most black Mexicans. But I get so heated when I hear Puerto Ricans say they claim everything including reggaeton which started in Panama 🇵🇦. They wanna claim music but don’t wanna claim their African ancestry. I may be 4 percent sub Saharan African and 4 percent North African but that little bit I am proud of. But hip hop downright started from black Americans and yeah I get into huge debates with Jamaicans and Puerto Rican about this. They can’t name a hip hop song founded by them in 1973 lol 😂
@@javiervega1065 that’s your opinion. I stand with him 😊. Especially when he says African American is a misnomer because someone from Nigeria or a white person from South Africa can claim that title. That’s like me calling myself a European Brazilian or calling my grandma a European Haitian. Tariq is the truth 😊
You are sooo wrong. Salsa was stolen from Cubans Cubans don't even like salsa they created genres like son cubano n changui before lame ass salsa that NY's exploiters perverts saturated into salsa.
I'm Jamaican but why would black American's need help creating Hip Hop? They didn't need help creating other genre's so why are outsider's obsessed with claiming this specific genre called Hip Hop?
True. We are glad they did. Jack Harlow is a #johnnyx100 favorite. Dropped a song called SLIM SHADY to say Eminem is one of the ones who motivated me to rap.

Black Americans created hip hip. That's why we make the best music, it's apart of our culture. Hip-hop is in our blood! You can't remove us from something that's ours
@@javiervega1065 Exactly. I've known a lot of blk Americans that can't sing, dance, nor rap. They just try to live vicariously through the ones that can.
That scene in Spike Lee’s DoThaRightThing where the group of Puerto Ricans tried to battle Radio Raheem and didn’t wanna hear Public Enemy represents it perfectly. 50/50 creators wouldn’t have had a problem hearing ‘Fight The Power’ like that and would try to drown it out with Salsa music. None of them complained about that scene back then. And that represents how it was on a whole. A lot of Puerto Ricans were heavily into Freestyle music which they dubbed Latin Hip Hop to differentiate themselves from the main vein of rap. Hip hop culture primarily reflects the music and culture of the Black American upbringing. The truth is the truth…and I’m part Puerto Rican.

what's the difference?

"Im still gonna tell the truth whether it falls in my favor or not" This is why I resonate so much with Lord Jamar because im also from the Caribbean. That will never suade me into discrediting what is rightfully due to Black/FBA Americans.
Hip Hop and the element of lyrical rapping was mostly developed in New York by ethnic Black Americand and the element of Hip Hop dance popping and locking was created on the West Coast from the projects Oakland to Fresno, California because of the after parties from the “Fresno Relays”. These two groups on separate coast are descendants of people from the “American South”. And from the American South came Gospel, Blues, Country, Blue Grass, Jazz, Rock-n-Roll, R&B etc…. all played from house parties, juke joints, and clubs for hundreds of years. This is why you do not hear no influences of the Spanish language or Jamican Patois in the music only Black American vernacular. Those communities were the first students though. Common sense would tell you that immigrants and 1 generation would retain their dialect and culture in an art they created if they were the founders. 🤔
I think a lot of y’all not listening black Americans created this thing we called hip hop .i was born in the 1900 & 60s and from what I remember, black and only black kids was doing hip hop
Yes indeed. Latinos called our music moreno music back then and monkey dancing for breaking. They dressed in slacks and church shoes when we were rocking chuck taylors or shell toed nikes. Now, they prove their anti blk hate by saying they created a culture they despised in the 60s and 70s😂
But at least I can respect the PRs on the islands because they let it be known “Reggaeton” is a combination of Reggae (Jamaica) & Hip Hop (Black America). Africans are the same way about Afrobeats as the immigrant NY Carribean descendants. 😂 We can literally hear all genres of Black American musical genres (Hip Hop, Jazz, R&B, Soul, Pop etc) and Reggae from Jamica over the African & English singing and have they have nerve to get mad when we say what part is from your country that make it Afrobests besides your language? 😂
Stoo calling people derogatory names. Modern black Americans are the last people in the world to be sticking their noses up at anybody. Over 75% single mother rate says it all
Im Boricua 💯 percent n i agree with with Lord Jamar he said a great analogy take everyone out of hiphop non black n it will go to shit leave blacks alone in hiphop it will b straight Puerto Ricans🇵🇷 Jamaicans 🇯🇲 wee was there from da beginning as participants hiphop still would of happen with or without PR or Jamaicans PERIOD it is a black youth that set it off no one can't deny that.....
Personally, the concern I have is this: As a whole, and even musically speaking, the talented Black - Richly Melanated global community covers all planetary continents & countries; from Africa to Middle East; from Switzerland to Sweden; from Venezuela to Brazil; from Barbados to Jamaica; from Australia to Papua New Guinea & etc... That said, likely the majority of the said 'Hip-Hop' musical input did indeed stem from those of the Black Diaspora; yet, being that music is a universal language, likely there also was some input (influence) from Asians, Mestizos as well other racial stocks. In the end, (especially whereas one may be Black North American, Black South American, Black African, Black European, Black Caribbean, Black Australoid, Black Pacific Islander & etc...) what's important is for the Black Diaspora to recognize their overall musical input while simultaneously also recognizing that music is indeed universal, for and from all people. Thus, the argument seemingly is futile.
I always thought Dj Kool Herc was from Jamaica. The story goes, he brought the Jamaican sound system style to the Bronx. Then he started the block parties which birthed hip hop. I thought that was how it went down.
Herc learned from the Black Americans around him and emulated what they were doing. He did help put the culture on the map though. It's like how Lyor Cohen signed the first big acts and made them national. He didn't create it, but he did help to make it more known. None of the Hip Hop originators credit Jamaicans with their influence. Instead the credit Black American Soul and Funk music
Fba been so inclusive of other people that they got this weird idea in their head that we needed them and were twiddling our thumbs doing nothing without them. Fba been too nice. Glad we finally getting things straigh
Thank you Lord Jamar. Much appreciated for making sure the history is cemented. Ricans called us names and even called their own people names if they liked hip hop/rap. We all saw the movie Do the Right thing when the character Radio Raheem had the battle with the Puerto Rican kids on the stoop. They were not playing hip hop or rap music. But Radio Raheem was.

In Brooklyn and Queens, they were playing disco. They weren't playing the funk and rock break beats, which came to be known as hip hop music. Also, those Brooklyn and Queens DJs and clubs were looking down on the "thugs" and "ghetto kids" from the Bronx who tried to come to their clubs. In the disco culture, they were wearing slacks, blazers and hard bottom shoes. The hip hop kids were rockin' jeans, sneakers and sweatshirts/hoodies. They couldn't wear that to those disco clubs. They couldn't breakdance in there. They either got rejected at the door or they were thrown out when they started doing B-boy dances and calling out their neighborhoods. They didn't want that element in disco.
But the elements of what we consider to be Hip Hop were more so associated with Disco in the early days. Hip Hop didn’t become a popular term until the 80’s. Even myself as a kid in elementary school, I remember tagging up my denim loose leaf holder with the word Disco because I thought that’s what Hip Hop was called. The Fat Boys were originally called the Disco 3.
It's like how Jamaicans think they should be entitled to our reparations. No, the Brits owe them reparations 💯 Just keep it fair, and make it make sense.
@@texasbama5729 we as Jamaicans know very well that we do not have any claim to reparations from the American government. But for you to acknowledge that proves that even though we are both of African descent. Some of our battles are the same and some are not. We are in the end black people and can help each other but sometimes our battles are different. So for Black Americans to claim as long as your black and come to America you are black American is false. Like you said the ones who claim to be black American will find out real quick if reparations were given that they are not considered black Americans.
@kebra1980 🥰 I work with a Jamaican woman and we were just talking about American reparations which were promised to our ancestors (40 acres and a mule), and she seemed to be including herself. I didn't want to be rude, and have heard of other Jamaicans making the same claim. So, just thought I would ask for myself. As for being of African descent, I'm unsure. America is constantly repressing our history, and so by that measure, all of mankind would be considered of African ancestry 🤯.
@@texasbama5729 blessings, not all Jamaicans or Americans are spiritually or physically awaken to who they are. While I embrace my African Jamaican ancestry I am also aware of the black and brown tribes that were here before the Europeans. However just as the Aztecs told the first Spaniards that they did not originate here but instead came on ships from the direction of the rising sun. Or the Olmecs who were before them who said they also came into the Americas. My point is although black and brown people were here before Europeans, everyone migrated from Africa to populate the world. We have a saying in Jamaica that says that as long as you’re a Blackman you’re an African. Meaning that all black people carry the gene of the original man regardless of where we ended up. So we are not trying to take away anyone’s history but history stops at 0. So no matter how many years brown or black people have been in the Americas.. no one’s history began in the Americas we all came from somewhere else before we got here. Whether through the bearing straight in Alaska or on the sea currents from Africa. Humans did not originate in the Americas. Blessings 🙏🏾

Lord Jamar is right… I was there in the Bronx at that time. Let’s be clear! It was all created by young black kids of my neighborhood. I watched it in real time. I’m from the Bronx. Soundview, Webster Ave. Projects Trinity Ave. Projects, Southern Blvd. HuntsPoint, Bronxdale projects.
@@user-xg1dq1sh5c let me very clear this was created by young black kids in the neighborhood. Any fool knows the Bronx has a large Puerto Rican community. But they were not a part of the original jump off of hip hop. They came in later. That’s the point! Everyone wants to appropriate black culture. Until it’s time to be black. I had a ton of Puerto Rican friends all my life. And still do and I have been to P.R. But I also know there is discrimination and colorism there as well. So let’s not go there. I rep Soundview, Webster Ave. projects Trinity Ave. projects Fat Joe’s hood and more. Got nothing but love for the Bronx and all its people.
