James Brown was already a legend by 1970The big fela
When James Brown toured Nigeria in 1970, bassist William 'Bootsy' Collins recalls, '[Fela] had a club in Lagos, and we came to the club and they were treating us like kings. We were telling them they're the funkiest cats we ever heard in our life. I mean, this is the James Brown band, but we were totally wiped out! That was one trip I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.'
Tony Allen, Fela's drummer and a key architect of Afrobeat, claims that Brown sent his arranger, David Mathews, to check him out. 'He watches the movement of my legs and the movement of my hands, and he starts writing down ... They picked a lot from Fela when they came to Nigeria. It's like both of them sort of influenced each other. Fela got influenced in America, James Brown got the influence in Africa.'

What does the phrase “we gotta try to be like this” mean?Where in that quote does it say Fela influenced James Brown?
You're referencing a a trip in 1970 as proof of influence on a musician who was already 20 years into his career?

Real hip hop was made by the berbers in morocco. Storytelling rhymes over a basic drum beat in the desert. This goes back thousands of years.
