Tariq makes many points, many of them are incorrect.
:dead:

Jamaican influence on hip hop was the standard talking point for at least the last 30 years...now people are turning on that...its interesting to see Puerto Ricans and Asians claiming it now :dead:

He's making a point because of how influential hip-hop is.
If hip-hop stayed the fad non-blacks said it was in the 80s, there would not be a discussion.
Same claims for jazz, difference is the Cold War promoted the erasure of ADOS/FBA blacks from that genre.
Capitalism promoted the erasure of ADOS/FBA blacks this time. It follows the pattern of America exploiting black culture as an export and at the same time geographically dislocating black people from their areas of high concentration. Once the originating people no longer keep the artform alive and maintain the history and tradition over generations, other people will try to claim it if they find it valuable.
All the money hip-hop generated, that's what they really want to be responsible for.

Wasnt their moms telling them to stop “doing that cocolo shyt”

:patrice:

You would think a Puerto Rican Jewish mom would be supportive of their own culture

Lol it says he didn’t even like hip hop and he was a Beatles fan :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead: :dead:

He’s getting credit for just being there and being friends with Bambatta.
