[godkiller]

Jamaicans are only influential in puppetry and dance.

Kool Herc is Jamaican

There are a lot of Jamaicans in NYC

DJing + MCing in the way of early hip hop was in Jamaica before hip hop was even a thing

Have no idea of the influence AA music has had on jamaica brehs.
Forget Gil-Scott Heron, The Watts Prophets and The Last Poets who are
precursors to Hip Hop AND Kool herc brehs.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Why are you such a damn hater?

Any topic about black people outside of America really affects you on a deeply personal level. It's so weird.

 

[IllmaticDelta]

And i agree with thread premise, most influential countries (no order) are US Jamaica UK Japan S. Korea China

Kool Herc is Jamaican

That's my point, even though dude is from Jamaica he knows the culture originated in NYC, you never heard that man or other pioneers say Jamaica is the birthplace of Hip-Hop.

There are a lot of Jamaicans in NYC

I don't give a flying fukk how many Jamaicans live in NYC, Sir.

DJing + MCing in the way of early hip hop was in Jamaica before hip hop was even a thing

OK, and? People in Jamaica were doing all of this and yet Jamaicans themselves admit Hip-Hop started in NYC.

People have been rhyming in Africa way before the first rap record was released, are we supposed to say rap started in Africa?

You already have reggae, why act like a scorned light-skinned bytch and try to laim claim to someone else's culture?

What year were u born, 1996?

No.
