Latino magazine mad over Empire ask: "Where are the Latinos?"

[BigMan]

Breh, you're creating a false dichotomy because you can't prove either one. Not to mention some of the cats you listed don't even consider themselves Caribbean. Also you're not even taking into account the fact that these dudes were influenced by African American culture, African American musicians, and African American DJ's. Each of them played their parts in making hiphop what it's become today, but to sit here and say that hiphop is NOT African American music is just crazy man. Alot of these cats come from the Bronx just like me.

When did i say hip hop was not African American music. I will wait.

 

[BigMan]

Bullshyt!

I never heard this Caribbean played a big part nonsense UNTIL I heard Jamaicans taking claim, then others started doing it. Now, that we are saying it isn't true, you are saying we are mad about it? Bullshyt!

Its called telling the truth. Hip Hop came from NYC, out of Disco. It was west Indians who made it about something else. I remember the whole thing.

But, as usual its hate AA, and we are some sensitive. Again. BULLshyt!

BTW, everyone you named came AFTER hip hop was created!

I'm not against my west Indian brothers, and sisters bit a lot of times y'all be on some bullshyt, and play mind games. You tried to say without west Indians hip hop wouldn't be around, but you was called out on it with facts, now you are trying to say we are mad because what you WRITE IS WRONG?

WHAT?

Your argument is based on your claim that disco was not popular outside nyc. And tell me what kool herc and Bambaataa are

1. I've never referred to a black woman as crispy
2. Who are these bi-racial women with white parents?
3. I uplift all black women

The Mowry sisters (Tia and Tamera) have a White German father

That's the insinuation that people are getting from your posts breh. Don't act obtuse.

A lot of Black Americans got half breed moms

No its not. you are projecting your insecurities. You think because i said with out west indians theres no hip hop that i think hip hop was started by jamaican immigrants and aas tagged alone. None of which i said

 

[Supercoolmayo]

This thread worth reading?

 

[Skrt Angle]

And so the sheepdog divides the sheep.

 

[makka]

since when do they acknowledge people of color ? ............comical & they can stay pressed. although i wouldn't be surprised if lee daniels writes in a wack ass reggaeton artist joining the label to appease these motherfukkers

Bamabaatta was roughneck from NYC, whose PARENTS were from the islands. I'm from NYC, and my mother is from the south but, to me. NYC created me, and NC created my mother. what's your point?

Herc came directly from Jamaica but it had no influence on his style. Let him tell you himself:

 

[Milk N Cookies]

umm


I'm watching you

that shyt is suspect how the only black princess has to have an 'other' for a mate...

and now he got her doing s&m, role play n shyt.

Whats wrong with getting spanked? and Prince Naveen is black.

Edit: oh no they lightened him in my avi

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

Breh, don't insult me. In this thread, I have acknowledged the impact that Caribbean's have had on African American culture. I've even acknowledged the impact Caribbean's have had on hiphop. Does that sound like an insecure cat to you? What I don't agree with is the assertion that hiphop wouldn't be what it is without Caribbean's. Hiphop culture was already developing before these cats came to the forefront. But at the end of the day, there is no way to prove or disprove your statement, so it's an asinine point to make.

 

[K.O.N.Y]

then the West Indian population of New York is even higher.

Again, I said there is no hip hop without West Indians. ya'll really trying to pretend like dudes weren't born outside America or were 1st gen americans

nobody has a problem except yall, yall want to shyt on and exclude West Indians like we aren't the same as you but will get mad if we don't claim black/African-American. you don't see West indians claiming jazz, soul, etc because we had nothing to do with that. Our music is influenced by yours. but you guys are pretending as if you take away every West Indian that hip hop would be what it is now. without west indians there's no hip hop and it wouldn't be where it is today. it wouldn't be. take away Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Kool Herc, Slick Rick, Dougie E Fresh, Grand Master Flash, Red Alert, Richard Crazy Legs Colon, Biggie, Irv Gotti, Uncle Luke, Dipset, KRS-One, i can go on.

Fact is AA+Caribbeans+NYC=hip hop

1.the west indian population is not bigger than the AA pop even in 2015. Yes their was a lot of flight back to the south but lets not overdo it.
2.Only smart dumb nikka/ confused AA's feel some type of way when afro-latinos,Africans and west Indians don't claim to be black or African American

Black American influence/music was a cornerstone in creating reggae music. Yet you never hear about it from African Americans. Jamaican music is just allowed to be Jamaican music with no catch.
