Spike Lee Co signs Fat Joe "Black People and Puerto Ricans created one of the great art forms ever! Together! In the bronx! Undisputed!"

[IllmaticDelta]

Werent chillen like that and not chilling at all are two different meanings. AGAIN, the bronx is dense as fukk. We are talking about the 70s, no internet to connect us all. What one person experienced in soundview is different than what another person experienced in Kingsbridge. Thats why there's so much back and forth

HipHop was a youth/early 20s movement, and the gang movement of the early 1970s was comprised of these same age ranges. Once you understand that, it will make perfect sense as to why there weren't masses of latinos in early HipHip from the foundational years of 1970-1974. The two groups were enemies

But you guys are just going all out to discredit Latinos and call us culture vultures. There's a thin line between 71-75 and 75-79 and the radical FBAs are putting they best effort to decide when hip hop was born according to when they think the first latino stepped In.

The difference between 1970-1974 and 1975-later, is that HipHop was fully formed before Latinos started entering from 1975 and later. Ricans picked up bboying from the black pioneers first in 1975 and as blacks left bboying to gravitate to the more musical aspects, Ricans were mainly involved in bboying.

"We think ya came in at 73 so let's just say hip hop was born in 71 and ya all culture vultures " gtfoh

No one knows who the fukk the first is of anything, like crazy legs said no one was documenting shyt back then because they were all teenagers not giving a fukk or high on drugs. Hip hop was a CULTURE and a movement. Blacks and Latinos built that culture together whether they knew each other or not

Crazy Legs didn't witness HipHop of any kind, until 1976, his opinion is irrelevant

 

[Lord-Yosh]

Yup you're right because Van Silk knew every single person on every block in the bronx in the 1970s. And when he was promoting parties he knew the ethnicity of every single person in the crowd

Man shut the fukk up, ya doing the most

U goya bean nikkas always tryna be down with any group when it's convenient foh joe crack

Like Ruby Dee said, any group/or person that was hot in the Bronx and was making noise, they would've been known. Silk's job as a promoter would have made him one of the first in line to know what was going on as far as buzz was concerned.

person in the crowd

Man shut the fukk up, ya doing the most

 

[boriquaking]

You heard it here first folks

 

[Jasonmask]

You'll never hear anything because they didn't. PR's didn't start PARTICIPATING in hip hop till 1975 or after

 

[Knicksman20]

@boriquaking

u mad?

You know now it's just latinos being emotional & having their belief system crumble before them lol. The truth is the truth & it isn't meant to be disrespectful; it just is what it is. That AA's created hip hop, the culture & latinos participated in it much later

 

[N711oir]

and now y'all see why they got this FAT am-pah-nada eaten puto hosting the BET awards..

it means nothing to us/ those who genuinely know the origins pure BLK origins of hip hop

but to your children.... they start now w/ the propaganda... then the visuals...

your kids will grow up believing that bullshyt, it's what they'll see when they are young...

 

[Cadillac]

Its a beautiful thing seeing @IllmaticDelta destroy the myths and false narratives on topics like this

Hip hop 100% Black american invention

 

[Knicksman20]

Prince Whipper Whip who's PR from the Bronx on his intro to hip hop

 

[tuckgod]

From the horses mouths.

 

[tuckgod]

At this point, shyt like this ain’t even up for debate.

Hip Hop, is an extension of overall Black American culture.

The culture of competition, survival of the fittest.

We make everything look good because we sharpen each other constantly.

We trying to beat your ass, fukk your bytch, look better than you, dance better than you, draw better than you, play ball better than you, and we gone tell you about it in the most creative way we can think of.

That’s just how we are.

The rest of you hangers on couldn’t take the school jokes and have hated us for 40 years and you still don’t get it.
