Competive dance between africans existed before hip hop

competitive dance in itself isn't hiphop dance

@Juneya Grand wizard theodore invented the scratch...Breakbeat matching existed beforehand.
Where were people repeating breakbeat loops using two turntables in the Caribbean or South?

Lol i dunno bruh. I wasnt there.
That aint whay we doing now. So like i said. Yall can have spinning on your head and spray painting walls. Hip hop is new yorks. You got it.

But that aint my culture.

Thats just what they called that particular locations form of black culture appropriation.

Im saying black kids dancing as a form of expression or exercise is not unique to hip hop

That is "hip hop"
Using words and appropriating them to our culture.
I say nikka proudly, like I said, I'm aware of my culture...
This ain't my language... It's my culture to perform language ARTS
nikka is an example of that.

Only problem is... So much of what makes hip hop, is repeated throughout the diaspora and throughout our history. Not just now and 1970. But so much of what we do in hip hop. The slaves and their descendants did all over the world throughout history.

But nikkas was told they was special. And now they walk around putting other nikkas down like they ain't as good as them....


But fukk you dumb nikkas, you really the WORSE of us all

*Worst.
I see how you're trying to kick knowledge and troll at the same time. It's not working at all.
we get it: "we're better than hip hop. we've always been doing this, we don't need to call our natural rhythm and love of poetry hip hop, because we've always been doing the same thing...in the form of griots, toasters, etc."

but no. This current iteration is a unique mutant music. It's wholly electronic. The other artforms weren't. They were based on singing and playing instruments. People fukked around and did spoken word a few times over music, but they weren't aiming for anything with that. That shyt broke off. Pigmeat Markham has no influence on what Royce the 5'9 does today...

 

[Juneya]

What we doing today aint got shyt to do with whatever it is yall even trying to claim as being "hip hop"

Black culture has moved on. You hsve no claim to it

@Juneya
B-boying is a form of hip hop dance made from many dance styles and heavily influenced by the martial arts. The only other form of dance like that is Capoeira...and Brazil had no cultural influence on 80s NYC.

every culture/race has dancing as a form of expression but they aren't hiphop dance.
