[Low End Derrick]

Jay-Z takes stupid pictures he knows will go viral all the time. Drake does the same thing.

It's called CONTROVERSY MARKETING.

Meanwhile, the singer's celebrity friends are paying no mind to the debate over her look. Lisa Rinna hyped up the star, commenting on the post, "You just broke that internet Henny."

Similarly, Chelsea Handler chimed in with a "Oh, yeah, baby!"

"Attorney Brian Baig has told locals who are expressing their satisfaction with Hollywood actor, Michael B Jordan’s apology and decision to rename his current J’ouvert titled rum, “don’t be so quick to celebrate as T&T might have burned an opportunity bridge.”

In a telephone interview with Guardian Media, Baig, who has a background in Intellectual Property Law (IP), said it was an opportune time for T&T to change the narrative—turning a negative situation into a positive one and using it to its advantage.

“This is where the National Carnival Commission (NCC), could have worked together with the gentleman in whatever way. The Ministry of Culture could have looked to work together with the gentleman and Trinidad and Tobago’s culture could have even been promoted,” Baig said.

He added, “This is the beauty of intellectual property wherein which; now the country can benefit from it. What you call nation branding. And this is why Trinidad and Tobago need to live outside the box.”

He said T&T needed to take a look at how nation branding was done in other countries like Scotland and even India.

“With our nation branding, they could have used the steelpan with the J’ouvert celebrations, with J’ouvert rum and they could have had a big celebration out of J’ouvert, instead of being just all angry.”

this has been disproven in this very thread though

Hip hop was a communal effort that operated under a black American cultural operating system. Those are the facts

I'm afraid not, but you can continue ignoring and denying the facts.

@Stick Up Kid


this is the breeding ground from which HipHop atmosphere + music/dance/rapping culture was born from:

Spoiler

Black Spades Gang circa mid to late 1960s (afroamerican creation)




what ended up being Zulu nation (more mid 1970s) was just a continuation of black spades (young/baby spades)






Disco King Mario circa 1971 (afroamerican) Kool Dee circa 1971 (afroamerican) were both Black Spades who put Baambatta on (west indian)






pete dj jones circa 1970 (afroamerican) is the one who taught Flash circa after 1974 (west indian) the disco style of djing (which was the prototype to the quick mix theory of hipho djing) and he also put him on



dj mean jean (afroamerican and the brother to grandwizard theodore) who was flash's first partner talks about Pete Dj Jones' set was the first time he and flash played on big sound system



his brother grand wizard theordore (afroamerican) invented the modern scratch. He makes it clear as day that neither Herc nor Baam knew how to Dj! The had no turntable skills




kool dee's brother, tyrone the mixologist (afroamerican) invented the earliest form of scratching



first mc in the Herc scene Coke La Rock circa 1973/1974 (afroamerican)



first modern rapper in the syncopated style Dj Hollywood circa 1970/1971 (afroamerican)

"DJ Hollywood and his crowd were the first rapping to the beat, not Herc's crowd" - Melle Mel








first rapper in the syncopated style in the Herc scene was melle mel (afroamerican) circa 1977

hiphop style graf came from ados in philly and made its way to NYC

The first real typographic trend in graffiti is introduced by TOPCAT 126, a Philadelphia writer who had moved to Harlem. The introduction of his ‘Broadway Elegant’, also known as Manhattan Style, marks the first typographic wave within New York City graffiti history. Broadway Elegant featured long slender letters, which often had platforms on the bottoms of the stems. Broadway Elegant was named after the famous New York City Broadway boulevard which bends from Brooklyn through Manhattan al the way up to Yonkers.

all that being said, this doesn't mean Herc/Baam/Flash didn't leave a mark or have an impact, it's just that they (west indians) weren't the ORIGINS of it

The circular trolling and unintelligible patois screeds don't work in the face of facts.

who are the pioneers of hip hop... please list them.

Sorry man, ur idiotic takes that you and your work friends discuss in group texts aint etched in reality

peace to Kool Herc, Zulu Nation, Flash, Kurtis Blow, the Caribbean blacks and the Black Americans that created the art form in 1973 South & West Bronx

Truth hurts
