Stop calling my culture "Hip-Hop"

[spliz]

That's not hip hop though.
It seems your ultimate point is that hip hop was not created in a vacuum, where every single defining element was something brand new. No one is disputing that.
Almost all innovation builds on what's already existing.

This is the point that made the creation of this thread extremely ridiculous to me.

No. NYC is the most iconic city in the World. It's The Metropolis. Hip Hop was created there. The 5 elements. It was shunned and called a fad. It climbed it's way from the gutter and took the city by storm. Then popular culture. It's a fact. You can feel like other regions contributed more to hip hop etc, but that shyt isn't true. Graffiti breaking DJing MCing combined together birthed this shyt. What southern cities had crews tagging their subways? Matter of fact where are their subways? Their Mecca and medina from BK to Harlem to Queen n BX? NYC was unique and it spawned hip hop. Thanks to cac gentrification and destruction of the south Bronx.

Lmfao bruh your a little caught up in the story the white man sold you...

New Orleans is the mecca

Hip Hop isn't just rapping over beats though. It's also graffiti and b-boying, which was intertwined with the emerging musical style at a certain time and place…..1970's Bronx, NYC.

No one is saying rhythmic poetry started with Hip Hop. But all the musical, lyrical, visual, and physical expressions coming together in the way they did was a unique thing, and was labeled "Hip Hop" by those who invented it, not by some white outsider.

Then stop calling what is happening today around the world "hip hop"

Maybe it's not "hip hop". Call it what you want to call it. Like Dead Prez said, It's bigger than Hip Hop anyway.

Ok. So you are acknowledging that NYC had this thing called hip hop in the 70s, but your argument is that it has no relation to what's happening today? So when did "hip hop" end? What were the records that were labeled "hip hop" but weren't?

Easy. He thinks that Bounce music in the early 90s was the start, in his own mind, of the rise of hip-hop as a whole.
