So what exactly is this role early Ricans played in the birth of hiphop..

They catered the first party. Tables full of mofongo, tostones, pasteles, arroz con gandules, tembleque, and coquito. Those hit spices got to the tongues.

You can post all the videos u want...I'll take KRS Ones takes on Hip Hop over Tariq Nasheed all day because Tariq is on record for trying to create a diaspora war in Hip Hop and diaspora wars don't exist on Hip Hop. KRS never once tried to create division among ethnicities....KRS was the leader of the Stop The Violence movement in Hip Hop...Nuff said

What about Pete Rock’s credibility? He co-signed KRS’s statement

did you actually watch the video where KRS himself says numerous times how he was wrong & told false information on the origins of hip-hop …. standing next to Amed , Bambaataa and Crazy Legs

Puerto Rico had nothing to do with hip hop. Neither did Jamaicans, Africans or space martians. Puerto Rico and the Caribbean’s don’t move weight like that. People only go to these countries to fukk on the locals and drink a coconut drink on the beach. FBA innovated all this shyt. Guys can suck a dikk, respectfully

Creating a Stop The Violence movement in Hip Hop that later influenced the west coast to do the "All In The Same Game" record > saying misinformation about the birth of Hip Hop.

Lets not forget those Tweets in post #3 where Tariq also told false information on the origin of Hip Hop. You keep ignoring that part. Also, Tariq never created a Stop The Violence movement in Hip Hop like KRS did.

There's a big difference between the birth of Hip Hop and Hip Hop once it was established. When Hip Hop was established, that's when the Puerto Ricans came into play. Graffiti itself wasn't a part of hip hop in the beginning either but became merged with Hip Hop culture towards the late 70's.

So, what were their role? Are you
Saying graffiti?

Once the culture was established by the late 70's/early 80's they engaged in all of the elements BBoys, graffiti, emceeing and DJing

So then can’t give them credit for joining something established.(we can agree to disagree though) So, by the 90’s what percentage of participants in rap? (By your estimation)

I got a disagree saying , telling and teaching false information about the birth/creation of hip-hop is just as dangerous

As far as Tariq, there really is nothing to say …. several years ago - he was wrong as well

so you have KRS-One and Tariq putting out misinformation : where you seem to not want to deal with - is Tariq Microphone Check documentary clears all that misinformation up

Like I said prior....No one says that about graffiti which wasn't a part of Hip Hop culture in it's birth either. Graffitti had it's own culture before merging with Hip Hop in the late 70's. That's why the whole argument of "but but but but Puerto Ricans wasn't there at the birth " argument is stupid because it's cherry picking and doesn't include graffitti when talking about what wasn't there at it's birth. And no one is going to go hard to stress graffitti wasn't a part of Hip Hop at it's birth NO ONE!

KRS is my GOAT

BUT, he’s the same dummy that made a HIT SONG saying Hip Hop started in the South Bronx, south south Bronx.

But was WRONG! And had to apologize years later because he didn’t do his research. It started in the WEST BRONX. Now, he says this? I love him but he really needs to shut up because no one is DOWNPLAYING the Puerto Rocks, they just didn’t START IT. That’s all KRS!

Btw, he’s not Jamaican. His moms is American and pops is from Barbados. And also, KRS is from Brooklyn and moved to the X when he was 16.

nikkaz asking what P.R. MCs there were.
MCing and rapping isn't one of the pillars of hip hop IMO.

NY got mad nationalities that intermingle. And all of them that were in the streets at the time had their hand in the creation.
Sh*ts a dumb topic, started by people trying to create more division and ain't even from NY

Stop trolling.


Don't dare compare an actual movement that was literally popular in the streets to something KRS said that no one even heard like that. Just stop. People remember KRS saying dumb shyt about 9/11 or being a hypocrite for throwing ol boy from PM Dawn off the stage or him saying how he didnt care about the Bambatta situation. No one even acknowledges what u just said about KRS spreading misinformation about the birth of Hip Hop. NO ONE! JUST STOP!!! That is not a popular thing related to KRS.

so you have KRS-One and Tariq putting out misinformation : where you seem to not want to deal with - is Tariq Microphone Check documentary clears all that misinformation up

You left out the part where you yourself posted video footage of KRS correcting himself and zero footage of Tariq correcting himself from what he said in that 2018 Tweet. That's something you seem to not wanna deal with.

Graffiti was apart of hip hop.... What do u mean
