It's because carribeans are being used to try to crowbar mexicans into hophop. It's really that simple. I see the play. There's also the fact that breakdancing is being added to the olympics, so latinos uniting like voltron to claim that they created breakdancing.
Herc is the ultimate culture vulture and all this shyt really stems from him not telling the truth. Even down to the fact that jamaicans copied "toasting" from radio hosts like Jocko Henderson. HE KNOWS, but he just doesn't want to talk about it.
It's needed. there's a very real agenda to make hiphop a latino thing. Companies and record labels see the huge mexican population and see $$$$$. They're even willing to peddle lies to make it happen.
The reaction to disinformation shouldn't be disinformation.
To say ONLY ADOS were involved in the early days of Hip Hop is disingenuous. There were a few people of other nationalities around. And there always have been a few. There's a few now in the pop rap scene. Admitting that simple fact doesn't erase us from history. Hip Hop is Black American Music. Just like all Soul music. And the whole world are fans.
Tariq isnt spreading misinformation. Highlighting the fact that jamaicans got toasting by literally copying guys like Jocko henderson isnt misinformation. Highligting the fact that Coxon Dodd got the idea of soundsystems from going to black american parties and juke joints isnt misinformation. Carribeans and puerto ricans dont see to know their own history, and tariq will highlight it. Do i think that carribeans and puerto ricans made contributions to hiphop? Yes. However, their new angle is that they CREATED the elements of hiphop. This is FALSE. most of the hiphop dances are just swing dances that jazz performers would do. Toasting came from black americans and so did the sound systems. My qualm is how carribeans and puerto ricans are claiming that the elements of hiphop came from their culture. I'm not denying that they got involved early in hiphop. The shyt im seeing today seems like latinos are claiming the swing dances that we had (which evolved to break dacning). they're claiming they created pop and locking (FALSE).
Agreed
There are literally articles now saying that Puerto ricans invented breakdacing. shyt wild. All of this b/c of the olympics
Are y'all tired of having these conversations and threads about the same topic? Is a random arguing your internet daddy, really worthy of a topic.

the spades formed as kids and these were kid fights
junior high is kid sh!t
as they grew from a few to dozens the goal became activism and against racists of any kind.
ricans been in the hood (soundview) since day 1 and since many of them wer alredy part of the nation or affiliated thas how they got down
more proof the black/latino relationship exsisted
it was the islanders who still had the colonial mentality and wer white washed from the propaganda spewed by american media

The Spades battled Ricans all the way into the late 1970s
Latinos at large and black people didn't rock with one another, only the few latins that crossed over into black spaces like Felipe Luciano, Mario Bauza, Machito etc...
That mentality stayed with Nuyoricans until almost the late 1970s
Those were facts! Take "Lava" or "Straightman" for example
He was a part of the Manhattan division of Black Spades and says that "black" people just looked at him as a light skinned black man rather than a Puerto Rican
I really hope this documentary does well, would have liked someone like @IllmaticDelta to do it rather than Tariq but either way the narrative of Kool Herc Jamaicans or Puerto Rican’s creating Hip Hop needs to be put to bed, it’s a narrative that I used to believe myself, it’s spread like wildfire since the 80’s.
Whatever grievances I may have with some of Tariqs opinions I can’t knock him on this one, I still feel like he lurks the coli though because certain posters have long been on that wave.
