The creation of Hip Hop was multi-ethnic...

I mean...African Bambatta is a Carribbean immigrant...

DJ Kool Herc is a Jamaican immigrant...

Grandmaster Flash another immigrant...

Hip Hop, at it's rawest and original form...is a New York City Black multi-ethnic reinvention of Disco and Funk using electronic equipment

Then it spread out and became some other shyt...

now, what happened is from this foundation and cultural aesthetic, ethnic afroamerican pioneers like Disco King Mario, Kool D etc...would naturally pull from






and aframericanized west indians like Herc, baam and Flash would also pull from. From herc's own mouth, he had to fit into afram ways, even his jamaican friends didn't see anything jamaican about him after he tried shed his jamaicaness

The roots of 'Hip hop' predate modern rap music, and are deeply stepped in older AA art-forms.
Individuals from other groups have surely added, however they were also greatly influenced by Ados music, and already heavily immersed in Ados culture.

The originator is Jamaican who grew up listening to his parents playing Jamaican music and used that influence to kickstart hip hop. This is soooo simple to understand.
