fukk are you saying?
I support the truth. Full stop.
@IllmaticDelta and I have torn apart the false history of Hip-Hop on here, but we don't make films. Also, the pioneers need to be documented while they're still alive. Tariq got all the people who were there that are alive, available and willing. You act like he put pistols to them and will make them lie. You sound like a hoe
The beneficiaries of the lies will be mad regardless. fukk them.
You hven't been paying attention. The "Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans created Hip-Hop" lie has been gaining major traction the last 20 years.
The White man can do whatever, but when a Black man does it, it has to be a "grift". Someone posted an article about the cost of producing a documentary a while back. 180K is like bare minimum. Aside from buying DVDs and trying the deodorant (it's very good), this is the first time I've given Tariq a dime. This is too important to not be done.
Nobody else got the actual pioneers to tell the unabashed truth. Everyone else tells the Herc party lies and narratives and doesn't explore the actual beginning.
Be mad at the media and documentary outlets that didn't do it already. Just be glad the culture is being documented. Sadly, a lot of these people probably won't be around in 10 to 20 years, and nobody cares (or is willing to upset the apple cart) enough to get to the true origin.
The fact "Hip-Hop 50" is almost over and nobody has done it already is telling, if you really think about it.
