The dominicans jamaican and PR lived and shared the hood experience with AA... and basically were 2nd and 3rd gen AA in experience.... and the AA experience is what created the culture.
Those people just happened to know their roots but were influenced by AA jazz and AA blues.

I am going to stop you right here. WE influenced each other.

We influenced one another in the backdrop the American experience in the culture and neighborhoods of the AA stigma and AA rooted music and creativity.

What exactly is funny

did aframs not carry musical traditions they were already a part of in Africa, to america

We carried some elements but a lot of that was washed away with slavery. Unlike The Carribean and Latin America, african music instruments were strictly forbidden and it altered the way we construct our music.

Most of our musical styles stems from the blues and to this day there is no definite origin of where the blues came from. Its a pure AA construction and play style. Blues history is pretty interesting when you research it. Its the main reason why our music sounds so different from the diaspora and other countries music.

While i believe there is jamaican/carribean influence in early Djing, i dont think the whole of the genre can be claimed as Jamaican or that Jamaicans started it.

HipHop djing came from Disco (2 turntables and a mixer w/ blending)

Listen to a jamaican tell the origin/experience when jamaican selectors (djs who ONY had 1 turntable) first saw the 2 turntable disco set up



even the so-called break beat djing came from disco

The real question is, why is anyone questioning hip hop?

DJ Kool Herc, a Jamaican born immigrant, is the father of hip hop. Rap is the art form. Kool Herc brought the other elements: Mc‘s, Breaking, Grafitti, DJ’s.

it’s an American genre, but a Jamaican born immigrant is the father. Glad I could clear that up for you guys.

bboys existed before herc was even a dj

Herc:

When did you start to get involved in it?

I started to get involved in it right after my house got burned down. I was going to parties back then, see. A place called the Tunnel and a place called the Puzzle, right on 161st Street – that was the first disco I used to party at. Me, guys like Phase 2, Stay High, Sweet Duke, Lionel 163 – all the early graffiti writers – used to come through there. It’s where we used to meet up and party at.

Then, years later, [there was this club] called Disco Fever. Disco Fever used to be right here on 167th. But before Disco Fever there was the Puzzle. That was the first Bronx disco.


So back then you still weren’t playing?

I was dancing, I was partying. Right around 1970, I’m in high school.

That was when b-boying was starting?


Yeah, people were dancing, but they weren’t calling it b-boying. That was just the break, and people would go off. My terms came in after I started to play – I called them b-boys. Guys just used to breakdance… Right then, slang was in, and we shortened words down. Instead of disrespect, you know, you dissed me. That’s where that came from.

Now that you've been corrected, WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION FOR LYING?

Hip hop is NYC culture end of the day. To me. Imo. Peace
