My opinion on this is that I agree and disagree:yeshrug:

1. On one hand I agree with them because I believe there's no need to jack/appropriate ANYTHING that comes from or references another culture outside the one you belong to. This isn't really appropriation because his business partner is Trini, but still:beli:


2. I disagree because of just how one-sided historically (even as I type this) the level of appropriation by non-ADOS of ADOS is w/o 99% of ADOS returning static over it. Everyone wants to leech off ADOS but as soon it's the other way around (which is usually a few people here and there rather than mass-appropriation) , non-ADOS want to throw a hissy fit:mjtf:
And so, because of 2, it’s fukk any and everyone who ain’t us. These muthafukkas cannot go a day even in their own country without consuming ADOS culture. Will eat off our plate, walk around in our house, benefit from our struggle and pop shyt that one of us partnered with one of theirs for a business venture THEN want to be secular.

Well stay yall bytch ass in your own little corner of the world and only get what YALL people fought for. If you want to be segregated then keep it funky and be ALL THE WAY segregated and don’t go to our schools, apply at our companies, consume our products, listen to our music, do our dances, eat our food, watch our entertainment, see our art, enjoy our rights that our blood was shed for and we’ll do the same. See who’s life is lacking after that cause millions of us can go a lifetime without having been influenced or even experience one bit of y’all culture. And they ass can’t even use a fukking cell phone to talk shyt about us on social media because a “regular ole nikka” invented it.

fukk ‘em. And that go for whoever tight about it. :camby:

I like how you didnt refute my points, and just went on an unintelligible rant :mjlol:
It's amazing how Kool Herc is all dreaded up/jamaican'd out now, he wasn't at first

You know, trying to be like Mario, with the BIG BRIM HATS AND LEATHERS

Mario was a POPULAR DJ IN 1972


I'll refute your points now:
Parties predating herc

Here's proof he was there

Herc was NOT the first to play breaks, they try to give him credit for "Jamaican" shyt but even HE denies that

BAM said there was no Jamaican music, either (until him)

Wait, that SAME BAM who was BORROWING MARIO'S EQUIPMENT ???? Couldn't be him.

Here is an AFRICAN AMERICAN RAPPING IN A SYNCOPATED MANNER OVER A BREAKBEAT
(no Jamaicans were involved in this recording)
3 years after the hart cellar act allowed Jamaicans to migrate to the US en masse
There's actually NO SUCH THING as a "Jamaican style sound system"
Damn near every ounce of Jamaican studio equipment, from the first studio/label recording equipment (KEN KHOURI, A LEBANESE ARAB) to y'all's first little jukeboxes and record players = AMERICAN EQUIPMENT

Count Machuki and his infamous wholesale swagger jack, involving a book

Here's an excerpt from the book (Multi syllabic rhymes, too)

Jamaica didn't have recording facilities until 1947 @Stick Up Kid
what kind of Fred Flintstone shyt is that?
This came out BEFORE 1947

I mean, we know what Jamaicans did AFTER they got recording facilities, right?
Started making copycat music

@situationlines yeah, the only mental illness being perpetuated here = Jamaican American 2nd gens, celebrities, and cultural attaches/fans carrying this debunked delusion around like a badge of honor, with all the information available.
The insults I use are intentionally disrespectful.

Trinis ain’t the same as Jamaicans
When it comes to African Americans,
Haitians, Jamaicans, Trinis, "small islanders", Guyanese, Belizeans, and Grenadians forget their differences and form into a multicolored carnival voltron.
Said voltron has a GO KART ENGINE when we're not around to be The Cultural Whipping Boy

@Stick Up Kid look, it's the Bahamians telling y'all GTFO
