My bad bro.
Either way, like you see in the video, that is the only example I've ever seen in this country's history of a Black and Brown movement actually doing something. Nothing is absolute, but Benjie's murder changed shyt between Blacks and Ricans in the South Bronx. It's the only time I saw folks say "these cacs got us squabbling over bs" after Fred Hampton's murder

WHO HAVE PLATFORMS SPREADING

I know who these people are. My uncle worked with the late Pablo who was a big time Yoruba follower. What do you think you are showing other than Ricans having elements of colorism that you expected hip hop to erase?
I think you're missing the point of all that. What it clearly shows is that Ricans and Blacks weren't all that close and then it got worse as it took on a different dynamic with the gangs in the 1970s.

The people that pioneered the early stages of HipHop and into the late 1970s era, were pretty much the same ages as those in the gangs, which is why there were no masses of Ricans in the early years
.
.
and why the two groups weren't that tight until ALL of the gang influence, ceased by like 1977/1978 and then Ricans came into the culture via bboying
Because he failed at it on a street level
HipHop actually did though by early 1980s as Caz talks about here

nikka AND?
They spoke to that in the Microphone Check documentary, too. Disco DJs were turning B-Boys out of their parties and not playing the same type of records.
There wasn't any racial malice attached to their pushback, though.
So much for that gotcha.

People who grow up in the same neighborhood generally coexist.
I remember playing with carribean and Hispanic kids down here in Florida. When we played tag, football, basketball, etc., those kids were right there with us!
When we listened to music and had parties those kids were there with us. Hell we even had some wiggas in the mix.
It's true that sometimes our parents had...reservations about the other ethnicities. And every now and then some shyt may flare up for a few weeks. But we were peers.
And I know florida is not on the level of NY.

You'll be surprised about what many don't know...
Right, it got worse! Straight from the mouth of one of the leaders of the Imperial Bachelors (he was at Hoe Ave meeting in 1971)
he had no issues because Busta & Fat Joe never said stupid shyt like they did for a quarter of a century
and his doc hasnt been disputed by anyone who was actually there

Of course shyt got worse. All the Vietnam vets came back in 72 which fueled the heroin trade. Had nothing to do with Black/PR pushback
Stop cherry picking shyt about the city

Yeah I think that PBS show about tracing ancestry revealed he was FBA on his mother’s side. Not sure about his father’s side, friend.

The more I learn about Hip Hop and all the elements let's me know that Hip Hop is no longer in it's prime. I saw Beat Street recently and it showed all of the elements. Nowadays the 5 elements of Hip Hop are mean mugging, gangs, guns, hoeing, and doing drugs. I guess that's what Nas meant when he said Hip Hop is dead.
Tariq didn't say what u just said was his issue with Joe hosting the BET awards. You're just making up stuff at this point. (Fat Joe was also the producer of both Hip Hop BET shows by the way...That's where your lie destroyed you....U not knowing that confirms you are just making it up as u go) Tariqs gripe was something totally different from what u just said and I'm not going to even elaborate what he actually said nor post the actual Youtube video because it's obvious that 1) You don't know what Youtube video I'm even talking about and 2) even if I did post the video you'd just make up something else to negate me like u just did now so I'd be playing myself and wasting my time.
Don't quote me anymore. Don't alert me. I promise this time to never respond to you again in this thread. If I see an alert from you I will never read it or acknowledge it.
why didn’t u take your L and K.I.M. …Tariq was 100% in da right for criticizing BET for having a Puerto Rican rapper host their hip-hop award show , whom recently is trying to rewrite history by saying his lineage is 50/50 co-creators
