Rican HipHop pioneers giving the dates of when they entered/first saw HipHop being done. They were not there from the start by their own admissions!

No, you did not answer the question. You must not have comprehended it too well.


I did answer your question. By me showing/telling you how the creolization process played out in birthing jazz, it was to show you exactly why that, while that description describes jazz in a "loose" sense, it is highly inaccurate because saying "Jazz is a mixture of africa and europe" it doesn't account for the fact that ADOS actually invented their own musical/harmonic language that can't be clearly identified in anything old world African or old world Europe. This is why both Africans and Euros were:whoo: when they first heard Jazz music.


read:

The blues is a foundational element of America’s vernacular and art music. It is commonly described as a combination of African rhythms and European harmonies. This description is inaccurate. Blues follows harmonic conventions that are quite different from those of Western European common practice. Blues harmony does not fit into major or minor tonality, and it frequently violates the “rules” of voice leading and chord function. But blues listeners do not experience the music as strange or dissonant. Instead, they hear an alternative form of consonance. In order to make sense of this fact, we need to understand blues as belonging to its own system of tonality, distinct from major, minor and modal scales. Because blues tonality is so widespread and important in Western music, I argue that we should teach it as part of the basic music theory curriculum

You attempted to make a parallel between Jazz and European music and HipHop and the Pre-Hiphop things that influenced it. I'm saying that Jazz is completely different from its old africa and old europe influences because of creolization and new harmonic musical inventions that its host population (ADOS) invented whereas Rap (music), as it started in the 1970s wasn't new at all. It was exactly like what influenced it, just in a more modern and/or out front setting.


The first songs to sound completely like hiphop (meaning, over a funk beat) came in the 1960s/early 1970s because Funk (breakbeats) was born no earlier than 1965

1968



1972



even earlier w/o the Funk (breaks)

Jazz being different does not mean it did not come from what I said it came from. You can keep posting videos but the fact is they were inspired by something that existed already.

So, no, my yes or no question was not answered.

So what has this particular influence been you keep arguing over? As always you have no logical explanation and contribution, but for because I say so (I said it came from).

As I said prior, when go into actual intellectual "music theory" debates held by professionals (which you are NOT). There's a lot of nuances and uncertainties when it comes to the origin of Blues chord and progression (harmony). The most common claim is that Blues has a "I IV V" pattern, thus us the European influence, and that is the fundamental claim people make. The other claim is, because of the predominantly "Western instruments", although they Black Americans) had no choice but for using what was in their proximity.

With that being said, @IllmaticDelta explained it and you have no argument against it but for no it's not. Nowhere have you been able to show a counter argument based on music theory, that actually makes sense. I think you yourself don't even understand your own question and argument. Simply because you're just saying anything, as you do so often.

We have to take it a step further, into anthropology.





"Which is not to say that slaveholders who appreciated the musical skills of their slaves were enlightened precursors to Abraham Lincoln. In fact, Dubois’s book contains numerous references to newspaper advertisements written by slaveholders searching for their runaway slaves.
In addition to the usual list of distinguishing characteristics—age, height, weight, scars—these slaveholders would also highlight the ability of their slaves to play instruments such as fiddles and banjos. As a result, runaways ran the risk of being caught in the act of playing music, which happened to be one of the few ways for people of color to earn money away from the plantation. For runaway slaves, music could be a trap."


"Although the first fiddles came with European immigrants, who played songs including reels and jigs, fiddles also became a strong part of African American music tradition in Appalachia, particularly in dance contexts."





"When African people were initially brought to the American colonies; instruments such as drums were banned. This ban stemmed from the Europeans’ fear, the drum was a communications device the enslaved use to secretly exchange messages without their knowledge. Although brought over from Africa as well, the fiddle was viewed differently. The fiddle was well liked among most Europeans. It gained great popularity within both African and European cultures. Due to its popularity, often times, slave masters would have enslaved persons play the fiddle at their social events. Since Black fiddlers and White fiddlers had two different playing styles and techniques, Black fiddlers would combine the two thereby accommodating Europeans while holding onto their traditional style. This incredible fusion became the genre known today as secular folk music."

It's called logic, and checking to see if one is consistent in theirs.

How are you still talking to me when I apparently had nothing to offer? :mjgrin: Is it because you realize that maybe that statement actually applies to you? :mjgrin:

Man, just stop it. You already look ridiculous and foolish here. It’s best to do damage control and say nothing.

And if you are going to say something, let it be a valid argument. Not an “opinion”.

I give 0 fukks where you're from and I'm laughing at your dikk riding ass too.

More of your dumb interpolation.

According to you, this is the root of Blues and Jazz.

The reason there weren't masses of Latinos in the foundational years of early HipHop (1970-1974) is because HipHop was a youth/early 20s movement amongst blacks and this also happens to the be the same age range as what comprised the gang members that were roaming the Bronx amongst Ricans and Blacks.. Because of this, Blacks and Ricans of that age range were enemies and used to rumble against each other

A black gang member from the 1970s says "You couldn't talk to a Puerto Rican chick as a black man in the Bronx and live (meaning you were gonna get beatdown by Rican men). It wasn't happening"

even as late as 1977, the gang element was impacting relations with black and ricans as told/confirmed by 2 of the early Rican bboys (pre-crazy legs and rock steady crew) Trac 2 (1977) and Abby (1978)




here is abby and trac2 talking about the negative energy that existed between blacks and latins (ricans) and that the two groups used to rumble against each other. It wasn't until they had a meeting with zulu nation that (1977), that energy died off and the two groups came together (this is late 1970s)
