Basically, numerous people over the years have asked me to make this thread (and put it in this sub) so all the info that's been shared in countless threads can easily be found/referenced in one single thread w/o having to be posted over and over again in various other threads whenever the topic comes up. In the treads that will be linked below, you will be able to find the origins of:
1. Musical foundations of hiphop
2. Origins of rapping (syncopated rhyming to a beat)
3. Where did hiphop style graffiti originate
4. The origins of breakdancing and who were the first bboys
5. How did Disco djing with 2 turntables and a mixer give way to HipHop djing/Quick mix theory
6. How did black american radio djs of the 1940s/1950s influence USA HipHop and Jamaican Dancehall (the genre and the place)
7. When did puerto ricans get into HipHop
8. Who were the pioneers of North Bronx, West Bronx, South Bronx and South East Bronx' hiphop scenes and who came 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc....
9. What did the other NYC boroughs pioneer in HipHop's early days
...plus, plenty of other related topics
