Microphone Check: The Hidden History of Hip Hop 🎥

[WaveGang]

I always felt like these uptempo 70s soul/blues artist created rap. And some pimps.




Only thing different is the beats. We really need to hear when the beats began to change.

I been looking at this

I’d say James Brown/Ike Turner created rap. They created the break beats that made funk

Disco DJs made funk hip it the club scene that spread to the ghetto

The ghetto created a merger for both

the DJ pioneers created a hip hop scene. DJ Hollywood provided the rhymes, Melle Mel made it a hot song

During the same (70s) Jamaicans who were influenced by mo town branched off their own thing which created clashing/toasting/ sound systems that also shaped the hip hop culture. But we all know where it originated.
James/Ike who were influenced by the blues.

Beautiful end to the story

One thing I will say I noticed

Bass players and drummers from the funk era deserve their credit for creating rap music. Those are the most prominent instruments I hear used in the break

Ike and James brown actually composed / produced their own records tho so then dudes there are really in their own league.

how was it?

It was well put together. Tariq doesn't miss when it comes to making documentaries. There were a few gripes on my end about Tariq interjecting his personal Diaspora War as a motive for making the film and I spoke on it in the TLR thread and was met with 'weirdo feedback' from Tariqs die hard followers who didn't even watch the film.
