Does the large Caribbean presence in NYC's Hip Hop scene explain the disconnect with other regions?

cool, all Jamaican music is AA music repackaged anyway.....2 can play that game :yeshrug:

Most of the old heads recognize Herc as founding this shyt...most of them have stated in interviews first rap records were influenced by reggae and dub records and breaks...to stay caribbean or jamaican culture has no presence in this is just a false narrative from people who werent there and dont know the early history...

None of this true :pachaha:
Breaks comes from funk and disco . "reggae and dub" is Jamaicans copying funk and soul.

Bambata has said he incorporated theyre music into his own records,he named Lee Perry as an influence in what he did...i think ill take his word over someone who wasnt there...
