Oh I def know what you're talking about. We had some friends who were Nigerian and they used to always brag about how smart they were compared to black Americans like myself and my siblings. There was a massive spelling bee one year, with multiple schools participating. A team with me and some other black kids won it, with the (2nd gen) Nigerian kids coming in third place and boy were they pissed off and stunned.
But I'm not gonna use my anecdote to assume all Nigerians act like that, or all of them think we're lazy or stupid.
I think the history and origin of hip hop should be studied and valued on an academic level, the same way we treat jazz. It's a uniquely American genre, like jazz. Yet the thing that weirds me out is we have no issue pointing out European influence on jazz (classical music) yet apparently admitting dub music influenced hip hop is blasphemy worthy of death? We got entire movements dedicated to pretending like Herc, Grandmaster Flash, Bambata etc no longer matter? What's going on here.
