they realyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gotta stop with this Jamaicans are responsible for creating hip hop nonsense. I don't know why they go so hard with repeating that, its one of the most annoying things. These same people dont even know what an HBCU is or any parts of southern black culture, but are on experts on how rap was started.
we shouldn't even have to explain the common sense to them....JAMES BROWN is the most sampled person in rap and they can't use the common sense to realize early hip hop was mainly sampled from funk and soul? In 40 years we have heard about more funk and soul SAMPLES than dancehall and reggae samples.
Biggie was Jamaican and had one song on his whole first album with a jamaican vibe(the worst song on the album) and then dedicated the rest of his album to soul and funk samples
