196k people ain’t a town, you’re right, but that’s a small city.
B’ham is “great value”, “Malt-O-meal” Atlanta but I wouldn’t call it a small town by any means lol
How does a small town Bama have the authority to speak on the origins of hip hop ?

Ralph McDaniels is Jamaican & his Hip Hop documentary leaves out many of the original FBAs who were involved with the foundation/origins of Rap/Hip Hop.

Texas nikka went to LA got robbed n tied up
You won't address what was said. I like the way you deflect from the topic. A one eye 100 pound man got kidnapped and robbed and you count that as a win

Ralph McDaniels literally started the first official Rap music video show in the early 80's. Ralph is the man behind making countless classic rap videos including Ice Cream by Raekwon, Protect Ya Neck by Wu Tang, It Aint Hard To Tell by Nas. Video Music Box created the shout out.
Ralph is over qualified to speak on the origins of Hip Hop. GTFOH.
If you are talking about the Cholly Rock video's response to the Founding Fathers docu, that had absolutly nothing to do with ethnicity and moreso who was really involved with Hip Hop in the early 70's. Cholly Rock didnt say shyt about ethnicity, he was stressing who the Disco DJs were from the actual Hip Hop DJs. That was his gripe not ethnicity. The ethnicity convo was something Tariq( who isn't even a part of hip hop) made up out of thin air all after the fact. Nobody was using the term "FBA" till after the year 2019.

fukk Ralph McDaniels watered down Hip Hop documentary & fukk you too bytch nikka.
Ralph McDaniels is neither the first nor the last to create a Hip Hop documentary exploring the roots & essence of Hip Hop/Rap.

My bad. I thought I was talking to someone who knew Hip Hop history. These are not the words of a real Hip Hop head. Didn't know I was talking to a troll. Carry on.

That docu was more about the DJ/music scene and little about the early MCs. It doesn't touch on bboys or specifically the "HipHop" aesthetic
I'll never forget I had some New York Ass muhfukkas tryna tell me how Juneteenth is supposed to be celebrated back when it became a national holiday... "Ayo son, word is bond, you gotta use Red White and Blue" 
I don't make the rules, yall did.
NYC been gatekeeping
But he's not ADONY/FBNY. He's "tethering" on and tryna "lump himself in" over so called sameness.He is a Black American. And rap/hip-hop is a Black American musical artform.
