shyt did not came from the motherland straight up bullshyt food

Bbq aint no real food
Gumbo ???Just some stuff put together fukk outta here

African food is straight garbage excluding Ethio food

My first ever job was in an african restaurant. Place went out of business because nobody was fukking with ir
Our thrown together scraps with low quality meat beats anything out of Africa. Says more about you than us

Only Carribbean food is really fukking with soul food.

This dumb motherfukker is really trying to claim Nike as UK culture

This is my point. Your culture is jacking American culture and then acting like you invented the shyt.

I live 15 minutes away from the Nike headquarters - you live fukking thousands of miles.

Your culture is fukking crumpets, jellied eels, and bowler hats. Your cultural exports are Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand.

The truth is....most AAs could care less about whats goin on "across the pond" in the UK or many of these other countries....

There's tooo much culture within our own borders to give AF about anything goin on elsewhere. Nggas die and clamor to get to the US. It's not vice-versa....


Most nggas won't even make it out their own regions (and are content w/ that). Its enough goin on there alone to get by.....

Ask a vast majority of nggas out east (NY..NJ...Philly) for example....that have never traveled where they would prefer to go....

Most answers will be Cali, MIA, ATL, the Caribbean, etc. You will be hard-pressed to find any cats mention places like London or the UK....

Nggas could give two shyts about y'all 2nd-tier culture. Third-tier...actually the more I think about it....because you are Jamaica's dun duns.....


Shyt not even an after-thought unless I'm flipping thru some channels and catch "An American Werewolf In London" on or sum shyt...and then it still doesn't dawn on most that nggas are even over there like that...

Yes it is. It’s literally in the headline “Sports, Hip Hop and Piff”

We’ll stop ruining the diaspora with our ratchet culture when you stop making the diaspora the laughing stock of the world with your overall incompetence and lack of backbone and pride

wait, one minute you guys say UK blacks copy American blacks

if so, do you think this "copying" act has worked out for the better or has it left a negative impact

because I could tell you which one if you want........

black american culture and the current Jamaican culture <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Gumbo is actually African, you dummy.
Comes from GAMBO, the okra stew.

The only Dutch we acknowledge is Jersey Dutch, plus you named after an ugly bytch.

And the average African didn't have access to this which is what I'm telling y'all these would have been city folk who are NOT the majority. These influences never permeated the way reggae did. they were early in a time of less resources so you had the city folk on point but majority of people were rural and they were jamming to whatever ethnic music was from their area.

they did and they're much older

There's a lot of Africans that never heard any of the above more than did. I know more fela fans in the west than Africa more fans of Ethiopian Jazz in the west than Africa. Have you ever heard a world beat compilation.. rural ethnic sounds from tribe to tribe. That was the wave. Not everyone had a radio or went to the dancehall etc... By the time all these things become more common we are already in the 80's. If look up a lot of these African people making western influenced music a lot of them had travelled or been educated outside Africa and brought that back home with them. They were not your average individual. The music itself had a class divide system.

we're talking popular culture although these same styles would make their way into rural-trad music

Don't forget South Africa was well developed earlier than most of the rest of us... that's why they could have people like Miriam Makeba doing duets with Harry Belafonte
Even when I was a kid... we used to look at country brehs like on some elitist shyt they were not with it. Forget buying records and a player... took folks a while to buy a radio. Without that you were only hearing music at events and most times it would be some local artists and every tribe had their star doing their tribal shyt speaking THEIR OWN language. People also sang a lot of traditional songs as opposed to listening to media

indeed hence the name thecoli

and
I heard it was registered in the UK, let one of the old heads confirm

 

[kayslay]

“False.There is no such thing as “American Culture”. There are 52 states and thousands of ethnic groups”

You’re really that dense that you’re attempting to compare a CONTINENT to a Country?
The hoops you mfs jump through to prove points.

Got me on that one but fo the rest shyts garbage And katie is my girl fukk you
If somebody would serve me something like this I would slap that shyt

 

[Uchiha God]

who would have thought that a site like twitter would have weirdos saying dumb shyt. I mean the girl that tweeted that is using aave, come on

on another note, uk nikkas will never get over their little brother syndrome

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Absolutely not. 1920? nah fam African in 1920 are 99% on tribal music.

They were. See book

West African Pop Roots

West African Pop Roots

They weren't even rocking with sounds from other tribes in their vicinity. the amount of people who would have had access would be tiny. My grandparents generation was very closely tied to their foundations and their kids come in the 50's and 60's they are the first to gain more access because they are going to western style schools and traveling to major cities

this is like saying All AA's were jamming to rap in 79

Im talking about when they started deviating from their older trad sounds.
