I've never heard a Jamaican claim hip hop is Jamaican in my life. Coli brehs stay triggered by this issue BECAUSE they hate immigrants. Same reason a few brehs on this board hate on NY hip hop because all the rappers were not ADOS.

Hip Hop is an American art form. The most the history ever said was it has influences from dancehall culture never that it was actually Jamaican. influence is not origin... How come the people that were in NY not triggered by this?

there are no lies. no Jamaicans ever claim hip hop. y'all stay mad over nothing

Busta just claimed it on Drink Champs.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

It's always been about the origin; this is the claim of Jamaicans





Jamaica had no popular music until the 1960s after imitating R&B and birthing Ska

What we now know as rapping and then/hiphop was in America before Reggae and Dancehall were even a thing

rapping 1920s




funk(y) beat + rapping = hiphop 1960s




djing with 2 tables and a mixer never existed in Jamaica prior to American disco; what people wrongly credit herc with was already a disco djing staple-exactly where Herc got the idea

All black cultures in the diaspora are amazing but African Americans are just giants and head and shoulders above everybody I mean something as simple as how our women twerk and move their bodies like water and a African chick with a nice ass look stiff compared to them

 

[truth2you]

Yeah, he was reaching with that one

I didn’t give that video to start som diaspora wars, I linked it cause the OG Jamaican djs told the story from their own mouths about who influenced and emulated who

it’s funny how the people who claim to not be about diaspora wars are the same people disagreeing or arguing about the video. shyt is crazy!

I don't know who YOU encountered; I'm talking the general feeling of Jamaicans' on HipHop's origin and the misleading history that they and other's have been passing as fact since the 1980's. Straight from the mouth of a younger generation of Jamaicans





they don't realize their facts are backwards

props. I didn't know any of this..confident old head said "hell yeah" he was before Kool Herc. lol

So what's the reason behind Kool Herc getting credit? is this a Rosa Parks situation, where she gets credit but others were doing it too

It’s because he was the first to give a breakbeat party, and that is the beginning of hip hop music, it’s other people who add all the other nonsense

hiphop influenced dancehall music; not the other way around

Dancehall involves rhythmic speaking and originated around the same time as hip hop in the mid to late 70s. Hip hop didn't became globally known until the mid 80s. Was Jamaica one of the first places in the world to hear hip hop music or is it something else?

That’s not true. Rappers delight came out in 1979, and was a hit all over the world. Dancehall as we know it today started in the early 80’s

even the dj for stone love said they would always go crazy for kiss fm(98.7) tapes to come to Jamaica in the late 70’s, and they were amazed how they mixed the music so fast. It’s cause nyc djs were the first to use two turntables together. Mixing like that was happening since the late 60’s in nyc!

 

[skylove4]

So you really think African women dance better and more fluidly than African American women

Man shut up I’m not starting a diaspora war I’m giving my opinion on a message board.

Makes sense. After all, virtually every account agree that hip hop originated in New York. If it was purely Jamaican-made than hip hop or something similar would've also began in London around the same time where there is a significant Jamaican community . Yet, the earliest UK rap song dates back to 1983, when hip hop already gaining a foothold throughout the world.
