[Ray D’Angelo Harris]

Pete Rock later doubled down on it added the bombuclotts

@ProBlkThought said it best:

 

[Bunchy Carter]

Tarana Burke is wrong and is also 1/2 carribean (father is from Barbados)

 

[Plankton]

We got New Yorkers tryna tell Texans how to celebrate Juneteenth and LA cats tryna say "The Master Teacher" himself, KRS One doesn't know what he's talking about

That’s a good reason to shyt on him. But that has nothing to do with the topic at hand

I'm not going to put on some pedestal cuz he's old school hiphop.

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Everybody want to be kumbaya until the shyt hit the fan
People are being disingenuous with the convo
It’s cool to be black american
Put on the suit and take it off when it is convenient
Downplay any contributions by black Americans to uplift other muthafukkas that barely did any lifting
And the lifting was bare minimum
All these cats coming out the woodworks showing they ass to kiss has been eye opening
I was a huge Busta fan but
Then Professor African Medallion
Argue with yo momma
I’m old enough and lived through it
Every last nikka talking like this
Wasn’t talking like that back in the day
Rappers are literally coli brehs for convenience

Exactly, can’t name one because Prince Markie Dee was considered the first one.

Puerto Rican may have done some break dances or graffiti but they weren’t instrumental in the meat of Hip Hop. The part that catapulted hip hop.
