What suggested this about Dougie Fresh? By recently I meant Dougie, not Slick Rick. Slick was part of a group the Kangol Crew, with Dana Dane.

this place and the internet in general is echo chamber status
these views aint indicative of the whole pie.
leaving the culture in the hands of grifters and non scholars is irresponsible.
some of our own (lord jamar among others) were just parasites. its time we clean house
Hip Hop as a culture is universal. It doesn't belong to one race. Zulu Nation made this very clear in the 80's. You can acknowledge that Black folks created it but the culture itself is universal.
Bolded is the problem. Some are saying we didn't.
The Fat boys first release was in 1984

Doug E. Fresh came out in 1984
Not sure what was going in the streets. I do know that Doug E. was way more advanced.

Control of resources demands capital. And capital controls resources.
The problem has been that it was made an everybody thing. In the early days there was a clear distinction. Nothing wrong that everybody likes it, but when you don’t control your own resources that’s a problem.

You know that America don't wanna hear the sound
Of the bass drum jungle music go back to Africa
nikka I'll arrest you if you holding up traffic
I'll be damned if I listen, so cops save your breath and
Write another ticket if ya have any left and
I'm breaking ear drums while I'm breaking the law
I'm disturbing all the peace 'cause Sister Souljah said war”
