I like how you didnt refute my points, and just went on an unintelligible rant
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.
