Girl, shut up. There are Brazilians who live in Brazil on this very site that will tell you that they are Latino.

good point, but it was always going to turn into a "who created hiphop" thread, its inevitable
Bambaataa himself cites DJ Grandmaster Flowers as one his biggest influences.
The phrase "Juke Joint" itself has roots from the Gullah people. They were set up during slavery to be a socializing place for Africa American . After emancipation they evolved to become social nightspots (aka nightclubs) for African American workers and townspeople where blacks could gamble, dance to music, eat, drink etc. And they also acted as hotels for blacks passing through town. They very much operated as a nightclub.

Lol calle 8 be ratchet as hell. I went two years ago. Mad people on mollyI like ratchet so I had a good time
fukk all those racist white Miami Cubans.i don't understand how you can call someone like Kool Herc a "pioneer" of hip hop but pretend he's not west indian
@IllmaticDelta you dropped a couple west indians in your sources. also what can you tell me about the Ghetto Brothers in the Bronx? that were Puerto Rican
You're not gonna pigeonhole me here. That has been your insinuation throughout this entire exchange. Now how about you quote me where I wasn't giving Caribbean's credit for the part they played in hiphop?
If you can't then this discussion is over and there isn't anything else to talk about here. We've already established that hiphop is an African American creation with Caribbean influences. We've established that Caribbeans have had an impact on African American culture. Now what else do you have?
Bam is someone who I have to take what he says with a slight eye because he rarely mentioned discoking mario, yet he was the one who would have watched mario doing it in the bronx.
He also claimed to have won a trip to Africa which started the Zulu nation, but, I hear now, he got the money from the black spade members pitching in to send him there. Then there is other stuff, that I won't mention, but bambaata stories don't add up.
I didn't know that about the Gullah!
Many of hip hop's "founders" are West Indians. hence, no west indians, no hip hop as we know it. yall the ones arguing that west indian people weren't involved in hip hop
i answered you already.
I already posted up on the first page.. post #6
Well, additional input would be nice.
