White people did not coin the term "hip hop". That's already been proven in this thread. Why are you acting like New York was the only place where people got exploited by the industry? That's still happening now, including in your beloved South.
White people dont have to invent a word for them to use it in mass markets. Stop being dumb. New York is the FIRST place they allowed the culture to be raped and our history rewritten. And you nikkas are so brainwashed and lost to black history that you hate other blacks so much, you refuse to look at facts of history.... Cause some old ass nikka on YouTube who don't know his history said so lol.
See above.
Tell me some names of NYC pioneers who "sold their soul". And how do you sell your soul without making any money?
They are all poor. Period. Selling rap music, is selling your soul to be honest with you. You can rap and spread knowledge and skills for free amount your culture. But allowing the white man to call it hip hop and make money off it was lame.
Why you so mad at Hip Hop and New York? Seems kinda unbalanced. What did New York ever do yo you?
They have this thing were they say things are not hip hop. Not lyrical. And they just being haters cause some white man told them they was special. But in actuality, it's not the Mecca. In actuality and reality, everything they are using to feel superior to everyone else is FALSE. MADE UP.
And how is that exclusive to New York?
Your clearly missing the post. Did you read the thread or do you just want some attention.
How do you define "strongest"? Does that mean it's fits your definition and what you personally feel comfortable with?
I feel like I get part of your point about Hip Hop just being a continuation of a greater tradition, and tracing it's African roots. No one can deny that. What I don't get is why try to denigrate a specific sub-culture that grew out of a specific time/place/experience just because you're not from there? Why not give respect where it's due, focus on the common ground, and keep it movin? Why have so much anger and frustration towards New York? Seems kinda weird.
The bold part is being denied for 10 pages. Obviously someone can.
That sub culture is not what we are doing today. Period. New York didn't invent rapping. It didn't invent djing. It didn't invent breakdancing. And it didn't invent spray painting.
It is literally just were white peoples said they saw it all firsr
